Winnipeg residents frustrated with unusable sidewalk after snowplowing
People living along Ross Avenue W. in Winnipeg have complained to the city numerous times after snowplows left large piles of ice all over the sidewalk. Now much of it is inaccessible to pedestrians, and people using walkers or wheelchairs have no safe option.

Watson says the urgency is clear. “Seventy percent of our exports depend on natural resources. Severe weather events are increasing and they create economic uncertainty. Our natural systems already buffer floods, protect coastlines and support productivity but we rarely account for their value and invest appropriately.”https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU2603/S00058/recognising-nature-as-infrastructure-offers-aotearoa-new-zealand-multiple-benefits-including-economic-resilience.htm

The U.S. is further along in its AI data centre buildout. How does Alberta's approach compare?
While the U.S. has developed far more AI infrastructure, Alberta also sees a major opportunity to capitalize on the AI boom, given its colder climate, vast real estate and deregulated electricity market.

We Dutchies don't know any better. Within a city, the bicycle is the best means of transport.

But many foreigners wonder how we do that. Using a cycle to go to work, bring kids to school and do shopping.

This video shows why cycling in Holland is different from cycling in other places around the world.

‘Green power’ boost for Port Talbot as council green-lights major substation expansion

Neath Port Talbot Council has unanimously approved the major application from National Grid to extend the Margam 275kV substation, located just off Harbour Way.

The project is being hailed as a “key” development that will provide the essential power needed for Tata Steel’s new £1.25 billion electric arc furnace. It follows the appointment of Sir Robert McAlpine as the main contractor for the site’s decarbonisation.

This latest approval comes as Port Talbot motorists already face up to 12 months of roadworks while the wider underground electricity network is upgraded to support the transition.

Council bosses have confirmed that the extended site will connect via underground cables to a separate substation within the Tata Steelworks, feeding the new “green” furnace. Work has already begun on the furnace project, which aims to replace the traditional blast furnaces.

The works at the Margam site will include the construction of a new gas-insulated switchgear hall and a modern control building, replacing older facilities.

Planning officers have confirmed that the project also includes significant upgrades to site lighting, CCTV, and internal access roads, along with a new flood defence wall.

Cllr Rob Jones, representing Margam and Taibach, has described the extension as a “key project” that is essential for the survival of the local industry.

“Without this substation extension taking place… the whole future of steelmaking in Port Talbot and the county borough is at serious risk,” Cllr Jones has warned.

The council has confirmed that the approval is subject to a legal agreement to maintain an off-site ecological management area for the next 30 years to protect local wildlife.

While the substation does not directly supply residential homes in Margam, its role in supporting the major infrastructure upgrade is seen as critical for the region’s economic future.

The move marks another significant milestone for the electric arc furnace project, which was first approved by Neath Port Talbot Council in February 2025. The transition follows the dramatic closure of the Morfa Coke Plant and the blast furnaces, which saw thousands of jobs put at risk. Despite the £500m UK Government funding to support the move, the community continues to show resilience amid the transition.

Ever wonder what it takes to keep the subway, LIRR, and Metro-North running in a snowstorm? Michelle Young and Nicole Saraniero of Untapped New York break it down — jet-engine blowers, repurposed 1950s Redbird rail cars turned de-icers, and eight snow melters deployed across the boroughs, including one right here on Staten Island. A genuinely interesting look at the infrastructure behind the system.

The #IRGC says it is prepared for the “complete destruction of the region’s #military & #economic #infrastructure.” The statement came via #Iran state TV.

“The continued mischief & deception by the #UnitedStates in the region will come at the cost of the complete destruction of the region’s military & economic infrastructure,” it says.

It alleges, without offering evidence, that the #US military was using “civilian facilities ... as cover.”
