Its a ten minute walk now. The west side of Clareview station didn't open till 2001. Before that there was no way to get to that side without going a long way round to what was a blank field/snow dump. Even after it opened it took a few years before development took off on that side. I...

Describing the far end of Clareview as almost rural in the 80's/early 90's is fairly accurate. I grew up there. The main station building/bus shelter was a big yellow metal box that connected to one end of the platform and really only provided protection from rain and wind. In the winter...

I took a look at the 2019 VLW booklet from the city of Edmonton and it shows both intersections as right in-right out only on Page 35. So the trees might be their to stay. https://www.edmonton.ca/public-files/assets/document?path=RoadsTraffic/ValleyLineLRTWestBooklet.pdf

It does have one. A really nice two way separated path. And the traffic was converted to one way (eastbound). With a parking lane. Running a two way streetcar there would be challenging unless they widen the road space. And if they did that. They would likely need to remove a number of...

Took a look at that and its a very interesting idea and would certainly be handy. Though I am not sure what to think about a Streetcar passing that close to my house. Not to dox myself but I would definitely hear it every time it went by. And while I find it personally interesting that he...

Thank you TAS. I'll try to check that out this evening. Between the VLSE finally opening and safe(er) route I can hopefully ditch the car for a while at least. Though it would be nice if the actually installed a SAFE legal crossing of 34 street once they finish all the road work they are...

I had thought of that. I live in Alberta Avenue so getting to the 53 at Coliseum or anything downtown is easy. But the bike rack on the front of the 53 is usually already full when it hits Coliseum. And even if the VLSE was running I'm not sure I would feel safe cycling down to it. Especially...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a couple years now but I haven't had the driving need to comment on anything up till now. As someone who Works in the Industrial zone east of 34th and north of Whitemud, I drive. But the only reason I drive is because there is no effective bus...
