There is nothing stopping the city from procuring trains which are rated for 120+ kmh, and building the airport leg's OCS system accordingly. It just needs to be planned, and would have to begin with this Rotem order.

I'm still more in favour of adding spur lines to the Capital Line and Valley Line next. The airport needs to happen, but all other extensions should be central and affordable. Beverly, 124th, Whyte, Michener Park. The Gondola should also be a part of the central transit plan. Council is so dumb...

At least the provincial government is talking about it for the first time in my life.

Sounds similar to a new downtown parking lot.

From 2 dwellings to 38.

EPS doing their jobs for once.

I don't think the building looks bad at all. The issue with the Quarters is that it's currently worse than nothing. Unless a developer buys a large majority of it and master plans, the risk is huge for each development. Who would want to take the risk when a gravel lot next door is going to...

Donya has horrible hours. I live DT and haven't had a chance to make it yet because of this.

Should at least be 95% + complete, and in the testing phase by that point. Ice district needs a Le Germain and an Alt.

It's far better than the Whitemud crossing on the VLSE. The exit ramp looks like it'll be designed to function as a through-fare rather than a true right turn. Hopefully it's intuitive that you can't turn right on red here. Still, I'd prefer crossing gates and much faster trams.

I'm not hearing anything definitive from people in the know. The change order would be about $500k-1,000,000. A lot of people involved want them. I think they're wasting the money on the gates at the OMF.

I'm not understanding why these mall owners aren't selling portions of their lots to developers. Most of them have a grocery anchor which would see a boost from 300-500 people living in 2-3 towers. The peak parking is only on a few days for the entire year, and a place like Southgate has LRT...

I still don't know for sure about the existence of crossing gates at the Anthony Henday exit on 87th Ave. I'm hoping they end up installed to prevent right hand turns on red. There is a set of gates at the Lewis Farms park and ride where it crosses the north/south tracks. That whole stretch...

Averton has been getting into the rental market with their Midtown project in St.Albert. It would be nice to see some family sized rental townhomes here.

About as bad as it gets.
