Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

One thing that would make sense is if construction projects in Edmonton were running behind (with the possibility of fines) whether additional labour could be hired. Also, I wonder about whether certain intersections (e.g. 109 Street or 149 Street) could be assigned higher priority when track construction needs to be done.
 
I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere else but what is being built across from the WEM station on the south side of 87th?

I hold hope out for this station to be one of the best organized and designed Transit-oriented Developments in the City with the addition of two more apartment buildings on the adjacent site and another major mixed use project kitty-corner across 142nd Street.

Here’s the existing thread on this building

Meadowlark Apartments | RMS Group

Does anyone have information on the apartments just south of Meadowlark Mall on 87th ave? They’ve already broken ground and it looks like a sizeable development. Initially I thought it was just LRT construction but they’re going full tilt on it now.

Even by suburban standards this is ugly. Putting a lot of parking in front a building close to a LRT stop seems even more stupid.

Its only early January and we already have a strong contender for the ugliest new project in the year.

To be fair not everyone is going to use the LRT 100% of the time so having some parking isn’t the worst thing

I have to agree. I live in a condo right next to an LRT station and we still need a car for the majority of our trips. Transit is so much slower/impractical if you aren't going downtown or to the U of A. And 95% of our visitors come by car. Hate it though we do, parking is still a needed selling feature. I wonder if in 20 years there may be a move to converting interior parking lots like this into park amenities, one can dream.

Just out of curiosity, how much will the VLW help change that, if at all?
