Project Name :McDougall Hill Pedestrian Bridge Feasibility Study
Scope:[Green] - The City of Edmonton recently constructed the 100 Street Funicular. The Funicular is located on the east side of where McDougall Hill turns into 100 Street, directly south of the Hotel MacDonald. The Funicular provides access to and from the river valley for pedestrians of all abilities and cyclists. As a result of the Funicular being constructed, there has been an increase in the number of pedestrians and cyclists using the sidewalk on the east side of 100 Street to and from the Funicular. This project will review the feasibility of providing a grade separated the pedestrian access across McDougall Hill, connecting the Funicular to MacDonald Drive and the Heritage Trail.

@Gronk! Feasibility study was likely just completed earlier this year so hopefully some funding will be approved for it soon.

Edit: Looks like 2023-2024 from this link.
 
I walk through McDougall Hill often and I don't really see panhandlers. Once in a while I may see some brain-damaged moron dancing in the gutter but they're few and far between. There's always large groups of African men hanging around but they're a peaceful bunch.

More and more it sure seems like we have a serial arsonist around downtown.
