I think there are some winter city and CPTED considerations. Coniferous trees increase shade/decrease sun access, which can be nice in the summer, but can make the area feel colder in the winter. Although I agree a few more coniferous trees would have been nice.

https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/downtown/imagine-jasper-avenue Sorry for missing that!

Looks like they are adding continuous crossings on the next phase of imagine Jasper. Page was recently updated: "Utility relocation will begin later this year and road construction will begin in 2025. Construction is anticipated to take 3 years to complete."

That’s just how these 3 previously funded for design projects will be implemented. This is not ALL of what is being done this year.

Id image if the capital line ever gets those stops by 40th ave (between southgate and century park), and a stop between south campus and southgate, that the travel times would be even more similar. I appreciate that there are more frequent stops on the valley line that are not just in downtown.

I remember them mentioning they wanted to minimize impacts centrally so that the road isn’t closed for the whole span of construction. Lessons learned from Valley line SE

TransEd, not CoE

I believe this was appealed to the SDAB due to the number of variances, so they are coming back with a rezoning again

This is what the digital display looks like in the LRVs! We did it! Full digital info!

I think a lot of people agree sprawl should stop but they don't want anything in their own community to change, which creates a bit of a problem lol

That development would be really exciting if it was just rotated 90 degrees. (With parking on the side towards superstore)

I think that's the City's plan though. The City Plan identifies a regional train along gateway that connects to the airport, not the capital line. If they do that, even MORE the case to build the central line, as the regional line would likely have an initial stop on/near Whyte.

I'm on team Central lrt connector. Our whole LRT system is not super functional without that connection (i.e. wem to u of a, whyte to dt, etc). I really hope they find a way to connect these lines together.

Not sure if this is controversial but I am starting to feel that I hope this tower ends up being much shorter than initially proposed. I hope something gets built, and that they can keep the interesting podium/valley interaction., but not sure if the height would be a net positive. 🙃

Agree those could be hood solutions. Hopefully the province will allow cities to do stuff like toll roads and additional types of levies for greenfield development but I'm not holding my breath 😢 I think what the city is looking at with smartfare, where people pay for the distance between their...

This Safeway honestly makes this quadrant/corner of Oliver much more walkable. Without it, groceries are pretty far away if you live south of Jasper.

Found this on the August 30 Council meeting !

Hey everyone! Just thought I would share that a new Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) is going to Council this Tuesday in the Horse Hills Area (North East), Horse Hills Neighbourhood 1A (LINK to proposed plan). I plan on speaking to council regarding this in opposition and have also drafted a...
