#301 TURNing it up with Councillor Tang, Ward Karhiio

We talk with Edmonton City Councillor Keren Tang about what record rainfall reveals about stormwater capacity, flood response, and what residents can do before the next surge hits. We also connect everyday local issues in Ward Karhiio from schools and safety to transit operations, fireworks rules, disability policy anxiety, aging in place, and the realities of infill redevelopment. • How Edmonton’s drainage system works day to day and why surge events overwhelm it • Where residents can report flooding concerns and how the city and Epcor respond • Homeowner prep basics like sump pumps, downspouts, and clearing eavestroughs • What city council can and cannot do on school capacity and education policy • School zone safety limits after photo radar changes and what design can still do • Why a youth-focused violence prevention approach needs a community-wide lens • What constituents fear about the AISH to ADAP transition and why clarity matters • Why centralized fireworks shows reduce illegal backyard fireworks risks • How to enforce fireworks bylaws while pushing back on racist online narratives • Why the Valley Line Southeast operations change to ETS opens a chance to fine-tune signals • What aging in place looks like through transit, FCSS grants, and senior supports • How infill concerns break down and what the construction accountability program aims to fix Tune in weekly on Mondays & Thursdays to TURN it up with Ravia on 97.9 FM or live-stream at www.theuniversalradio.comIG: @theuniversalradio
