Alberta mode. Same verified facts, local voice, written by a machine — on 9 of 13 stories today. The rest read exactly as they do in the plain edition. The neutral text is the record — switch back to check anything before you act on it. It does not joke about a death, a missing person or a warning, and it does not touch a court matter at all. If a line landed wrong, tell us and we will pull it.

Edmonton changes 101 Street lanes for buses and safety

The City of Edmonton will begin work Monday on 101 Street between Jasper Avenue and 102A Avenue. The project will establish a southbound bus-only curb lane and remove one northbound lane to create two wider lanes. The city expects the work to take one week, and the southbound bus lane will operate weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. On-street parking and loading zones will be removed in both directions during those hours, while most work will be done overnight.
