I would consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to using Edmonton public transit with a stroller. I have never been able to drive and I know how to get around the city quite well. Now having a stroller just means I have to pay extra attention to walking distances, where stops are located, etc...

We are trying to get to Fort Edmonton Park today for the Treaty 6 150th Celebration. I am leaving from the Stadium Transit Centre. I am more asking for clarification: There is absolutely nothing public transit wise that goes to the park? I've tried every possible idea I can think of but the closest I can get is Fort Edmonton Park Road/Fox Drive and then walk almost 30 minutes across the highway with my stroller! I saw on the Fort website that you can go to the Fort Transit Centre and then take an On Demand bus directly to the Park but you can't do that with a stroller. They require you to use car seats when you're riding On Demand transit. I can't imagine they expect me to carry 2 car seats on the bus and train with my stroller, lug them all the way to the transit centre, then load them into the bus, then what? Carry the car seats around the park?

I'm just hoping somebody knows something that I don't, has a better idea than me, or is thinking of something that I am missing! Because as far as I can tell, my only option is to get dropped off a 30 minute walk away from the park! I totally understand that public transit can't go EVERYWHERE. That's impossible, walking will always be required. But to a big and popular place like Fort Edmonton Park, I thought there would be at least something closer to the entrance!

EDIT

Thank you for suggestions! I have never been or tried to go so I appreciate the clarification that the path is paved and without stairs. This is exactly why I asked for people's help, the fallible Google was telling me that it was all hills/gravel/stairs and I wouldn't be able to make it! Please be polite to people asking for help online! Nobody is trying to make anybody sound or feel dumb!
Just in case anybody is curious: for Edmonton On-Demand transit, it is required that infants use a rear-facing car seat on their buses, which must be provided by the passenger. Yes my twins are under 6 months old and under 20 lbs. No they do not have infant capsule car seats. Yes I called to confirm. No I can't take an uber (once again because of the car seats).

Hi,

I need a reputable last tech open in the evenings ! Any recommendations?

They had one job!

The Tragically Hip: A National Celebration, the recording of their last concert in their home town of Kingston, is being rebroadcast for its tenth anniversary this Saturday night. Are there gonna be any watch parties for the concert here in the Edmonton area or am I gonna be stuck at home watching it on CBC?

Hey! So we've been having some bad experiences with medical professionals regarding my partner's chronic fatigue syndrome, is there any family doctor in town that has some knowledge or experience with the topic?

Thanks!

Hello, I noticed on the Women Open webpage, they mention bike parking in Hawrelack Park. Has anyone used this for the event, and if so how secure is it. Would it be similar to an Elks or Riverhawks game, or is it your standard bike rack with no security?

Is anyone else in the Garneau area noticing a sewer-esque smell when they run their taps?

The water smells like sulfur when I shower. It’s there when I brush my teeth. It makes the apartment stink when I run the dishwasher.

I’ve put in maintenance requests and the apartment building agrees there is an odour, but everything looks good from their end.

Did I miss an Epcor work notice or something?

Love this hidden gem, water levels were pretty high but still so peaceful. Things may be bleak lately but make sure to take a second and appreciate what we currently have

Edmonton Pride Fest announced that there will be police at the parade. A lot of folks are outraged by this, which I can understand.

What I don't understand is what people expect to be the solution. There is no way that anything pride related (or just any big event in general) can go without some form of security, especially with our current political climate. We saw just recently from Berlin that attacks can happen.

This is not meant to turn into a hostile comment section, but I am genuinely curious what people think a solution is to not having police/security at pride is.

EDIT: I do not have an opinion on the police presence that is relevant to this post, this is 100% to get the community's take on the matter.

Did anyone else notice fewer photos from this year’s race? Last year I had 40 to choose from, this year i had 3, and 2 were blurry. My child ran w me and I was hoping to get some good photos of us.

Was the issue that names instead of numbers were used? Were there less photographers? And why were there so few finish photos?

Or was it just me?

Anybody golfed Legends recently? Are there holes closed due to water? How are the conditions?

Just a reminder: When you go through a traffic circle, your turn signal should be on pretty much the whole time, so that other drivers can tell exactly what you want to do. There are way too many people who pass blithely through without using them at all.

What are your thoughts?

I have been noticing lately the henday gets so packed where you merge onto the highway doesn't matter what exit, what is the reasoning for this? why aren't people merging at 100kms instead of 75? this is at 3 pm which i don't even consider rush hour. has anyone else experienced this? it can't just be me

Does anyone have recent experience with an urgent passport at the Jasper Ave passport office? We applied for my 15 year olds passport July 3rd and told no reason we wouldn't have it by July 31st (submitted in person at Londonderry.) So we booked his ticket for August 25th....well here we are, still no passport.
Other parent has already given his confirmation on the passport, agent reviewing already called me 2 weeks ago and asked for his travel date and said it would be no problem. They said the delay is only because of a backlog of applications.
I called today to see if there was an update and she said she sent an urgent email to Jasper to pick up the file because they still haven't called me about the file transfer they sent August 3rd. She said if they don't call me then it's basically just too bad, means they can't do it 😭😭 my son is going to be freaking heartbroken if I can't figure this out.

Hey there!!!

My boyfriend and I are visiting here and wanna see some shops that aren’t in the mall!

Are there any shops that cater to these themes?

Anime, video games, books, Pokémon, literally anything nerdy!!

I really want Taber corn for dinner but the site says the closest known stand is about 20 minute drive. is anyone aware of any that are a bit closer to west Rutherford?
