Is this legit?

Edmonton is one of the few cities in the world to adopt a 15-minute city model, with council recently approving the much-debated city plan.
City staff presented a report in 2021 to the council’s urban planning committee on the goal of having 50 percent of trips made by transit or active modes. The report outlined possible methods of achieving this goal, which would involve decreasing the percentage of vehicle trips from 78 percent to 50 percent.
“Double the costs associated with operating a car (e.g., road pricing such as tolls and congestion charges, fuel taxes, vehicle registration costs or mileage based charges)” was one point. “Quadruple the cost of parking” was another.
Creating car-free corridors, reducing transit fares, and repurposing traffic lanes for dedicated transit lanes were among the others.

Yes it is legit , all part of the vision of UN 2030 the liberal / NDP coalition went all in on .
Do these idiots not realize Edmonton is one of the coldest major cities in the whole world for 4 months of the year ??
I can see that working in Vancouver, possibly Calgary the odd winter but wtf is the matter with the brains of those passing this idiotic system in Edmonton.
it’s shows clearly how out of touch with reality some of these policies are, it’s where zero common sense lives

This idealistic vision is based in Western Europe where they basically don’t have winter .
