I came across this today:

It's a proposal to let people ride public transportation in Vancouver for free. I think the idea is great; if Edmonton put a fraction of its Anthony Henday Drive budget into making buses and the LRT free, they could reduce pollution, reduce urban sprawl, increase civic participation, and generally make things awesome. It's hard to imagine happening in Alberta, but if it did, Edmonton would probably be where it would start.
