The so-called “GreenApple” report was issued by the Appleton Charitable Foundation, which is dedicated to improving public health by reducing greenhouse gases.
Despite our dismal showing in the report, Brendan Van Alstine, a member of the advocacy group Transit Riders Union of Edmonton, says he’s optimistic about the future. “We’ve got a long way to go,” he says, “but there seems to be some will on city council and in the transportation department to do the things that need to get done.”
In the recent discussions of the city’s main planning documents, he was encouraged to hear transportation head Bob Boutilier prioritize infill development and public transportation over expanding roads.
The report also praised Edmonton for extending the LRT.
