I don't expect TransEd to be operating the line for much longer.

More residents are needed. End of story

Depends on how turnover works to the City. I'm gonna suspect that the bus terminal remains on the north side until turnover of the line to ETS or TransEd happens, when testing begins. Yes, I said ETS or TransEd.

My problem with hating this is that the prominent Edmonton developers should be bringing enough quality to drown out how bad this is. Obviously I'm happy with the unit count, but this shouldn't even be a competitive proposal. I ultimately want more people living DT above anything else.

Confirms my last post on this. Everything I've heard indicates that Hyundai Rotem and COE have developed a good working relationship on the VLW procurement. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Doesn't hurt affordability. I'm a fan.

Expect Hyundai Rotem cars which are longer than the U2s and SD160s. 4 car full length trains instead of the current 5.

I can't speak for MIP, but I have very good reasons to believe testing will not be possible on the VLW tracks until the entire extension is commissioned. The Hyundai Rotem trains will be tested on the VLSE tracks.

Automatic guns weren't a danger in this country when they were legal compared to large vehicles, though. SUVs are far more dangerous to the general public than guns.

"Edmonton drivers" Way too many of these collisions are caused by commercial truckers. I want crossing arms in these industrial areas.

Gondolas famously don't exist in areas which have harsh winter climates. Give me a break.

This is such a bad faith argument being made here.

Have you ever been to Edmonton? The River Valley is like 400' deep.

ETS should just take the project and run with it, integrate it into ARC. This combined with development of Rossdale powerplant would be financially sufficient like The Forks in Winnipeg. Naysayers of the gondola don't understand how difficult it is to get from Strathcona to DT.
