Absolutely perfect weather for a picnic. 😎

We’re excited to welcome you back to #OldStrathc

We did it again! 🚶‍♀️‍🦽🚶‍♂️

Sidewalks on Whyte Avenue have expanded between 103 and 105 Streets ⬅️➡️ this time on both sides of the Ave. We also added extra space on 102 and 105 Streets outside of the Roots on Whyte and Raymond Block buildings. Walk, wheel, and move around with a little more space. Great for ice cream Instagramming 🍦🤳 and to help with physical distancing to make everyone feel more comfortable as things open up for summer.😷👍
Thanks to @HeyThirdSpace for turning boring old orange traffic barriers into something that adds some art to the Avenue and to the @CityofEdmonton for helping us make more room for everyone.
👇
Every expanded space will also be accessible. We've added big and wide ramps with a gentle slope to make sure everyone can move between the upper and lower sidewalks. Access at some points will be maintained with existing curb cuts.
👆
We're not done yet! Seating and tables will be added to the expansions over the next week to make #WhyteAve even more enjoyable.

New mural alert! 🚨 You can watch @hail.meister

Happy #PrideMonth! It's so lovely to see rainb
