A Patricia Heights homeowner says a city snowplow damaged $9,000 worth of decorative edging on his front lawn in January. Kevin Love submitted a claim to the City of Edmonton, which was denied. The city’s claims adjuster said operators were likely plowing snow to the edge of the curb and a windrow may have caused the damage. The city says residents otherwise have to leave three to five feet clear on driveways or front lawns, while a Landscaping Licence of Occupation costs $75 a year.

why_it_matters:
Residents using road-right-of-way space for landscaping can obtain a Landscaping Licence of Occupation for $75 a year.

EPCOR and the City of Edmonton are considering accelerated work on the storm-water system after a summer of record rainfall and repeated storms. The repeated storms saturated the groundwater table, sending more runoff into a storm-water system that struggled to keep up. EPCOR said the system needs a lengthy stretch of dry weather to recover, while the storms exposed weaknesses in Edmonton’s aging network. The July storms washed away part of 137 Avenue after Horseshoe Creek overflowed and eroded the banks around its culvert. The road remains closed, limiting access to the Starling and Hawks Ridge communities. The city has spent about $350 million on flood-resiliency projects, including dry ponds and maintenance on pipes and manholes.

Managers are also recommending higher fines in at least 20 sections of the traffic bylaw, including raising the fine for an abandoned vehicle from $50 to $250.

Toronto quantum-computing company Xanadu and the University of Alberta are partnering to develop algorithms for cancer treatment research. The team aims to create a quantum-computing framework for designing photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy. Photodynamic therapy uses light to selectively destroy tumour cells while avoiding some side effects of traditional cancer treatments. The partnership is led by Xanadu’s algorithms team and University of Alberta chemistry professor Alex Brown.

Henwood has 62 residential treatment beds and is the largest provincially run voluntary addiction-treatment centre in the Edmonton region. The program was suspended in late June after flooding, and the province said clients were moved to other services. At the time Henwood stopped accepting applications, almost 600 people were waiting for a bed, sources told the Investigative Journalism Foundation. The province said the centre was closed for the foreseeable future after flooding caused significant damage.

People who were waiting for Henwood treatment were told their referrals were being closed and that they would need to reapply once the centre reopened.

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney says Canada should keep oil and gas exports available as a response to U.S. tariffs. Kenney said cutting off exports is not feasible because central Canada relies on oil shipped through the United States. He suggested export taxes on fuel and potash could pressure the United States if its administration escalates the dispute. Premier Danielle Smith has said Alberta will not use oil and gas as part of the trade fight.

Edmonton city council has approved rezoning for a Hope Mission building near Argyll Road and 75th Street, allowing a 24/7 shelter with 120 beds. Councillors voted unanimously on the proposal Tuesday afternoon after hearing concerns from people connected to the area. Hope Mission said the shelter is needed on the city’s south side and would help move support services outside downtown. Council heard the shelter would provide transportation, meals and other social services to clients. Most speakers at the public hearing opposed the rezoning, citing concerns about social disorder, safety and the suitability of an industrial location. Hope Mission had to seek a zoning change because shelters are not permitted in the site’s medium industrial zone. The charity still needs development and building permits before the shelter can open to clients.

Deputy city manager Sara Nichols said no projects were being cancelled and that the city was considering alternatives. A majority of the dozens of residents who spoke at the meeting supported moving ahead with the proposed bike lanes.

June Briggs and Richard McElroy were each sentenced to four years in prison after being found criminally negligent in the death of a 76-year-old woman. Dianne Simmons spent seven to 10 days on the floor of a rural Sturgeon County home before emergency responders arrived. She was unresponsive, suffering from hypothermia and severe wounds when paramedics arrived, and died the next day in hospital. The cause of death was multi-organ failure caused by sepsis from infected pressure wounds, with hypothermia also contributing. Justice Kelsey Becker Brookes found the couple had a legal duty to provide Simmons with the necessaries of life and that earlier medical attention would have saved her life.

body:
An Edmonton father charged with second-degree murder in the death of his five-week-old son was found guilty of manslaughter. An Alberta court justice found George Russell Hulleman not guilty of the original charge after a psychological evaluation found him significantly cognitively impaired. Hulleman fatally injured his son Leviathan Puchalski at a west Edmonton home in February 2023, and the infant died three days later at Stollery Children’s Hospital. An autopsy found the baby died of abusive head trauma and determined the manner of death was homicide.
