Municipal Election 2021

This October, Edmontonians will be headed to the poll to elect candidates for Council and the School Board. As an organization that advocates for safer, more liveable streets, we know it takes political will to shift the way we design, build, and operate our transportation system.

Edmonton has made great strides forward in recent years with the Bike Plan, the Safe Mobility Strategy, and City Plan. We need to keep this momentum going and elect a Council that has the political will to implement these plans and continue building safer, more liveable streets.

Candidate Outreach

We are reaching out to candidates to understand what their vision for safer, more liveable streets is within our communities. We will be sharing their responses on our website and social media later this Summer and into the Fall.

Here’s who we’ve heard from so far!
