Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

[David A]

Yes, it will happen over time as the city continues to grow. Toronto is five times as large as Edmonton, has a concentration financial services and other large corporate offices downtown that we currently do not. A great deal of transit there is designed to be used by commuters and that works well for them.

However, a number of downtown surface parking lots have developed in Edmonton over the last couple decades and I hope more happens. The completion of the Valley Line will make it easier for almost half of the city to get downtown. So we will get there in our own time and way.

Wem station girder erection started last night.
I wonder why they are using regular girders for this station, but the misericordia used the box girders that make up the rest of the elevated guideway?

Our firm acquired a smaller firm in which there is an office on the south side and some of the staff in our downtown tower are basically begging to work out of that south side office instead of trying to absorb the new staff into our downtown tower. So I see that push. Running LRT to every outer corner with free and available park and ride helps downtown's case.

How are the trees and shubbery along the SE route these days? Has anyone seen TransEd out there replacing any dead units?

Believe it all transfers to City responsibility to maintain this year

Yes I would say they are at least 3 years behind schedule

Kidding aside, I think it will most likely take the full 6 years to build, ie: end of 2028.

Clearly the Groat bridge will be done by the November deadline but I wonder about Stoney Plain Road.

The Glenora section of SPR looks like the roadway and sidewalks will be done this fall. I'm happy they're getting the loudest complainers out of the way first.

 

[The_Cat]

Even if Stony Plain Road in Glenora is completed along with the Groat Road Bridge, I'm thinking that the construction east of the bridge will hamper traffic.

Really hope the TOD spark can help 104th ave. What a bleak shot of our “central city”

'Longstreet' is a work in progress for sure.
