    Edmonton METS Plan (1969 Historical Freeway Plan)

    A tunnel would certainly be a sizeable expense but very worthy of conversation with a busy main entrance to downtown. I can see generally an alignment that doesn't cut through or under the indigenous art park that would still work well.

    Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I don’t know if deficient construction results is a reason to not support a particular option.

    Municipal Politics

    I am about as fed up with partisan politics as I've ever been but shouldn't the people decide? If people want to run for a party or independent I think they should have the right to do so. Or is the issue around not being able to compete independently with party funding which I can see being an...

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    I don't believe that is easily publicly available information. But for the sake of rough numbers given 60 days in Jan/Feb looking at Westjet/Air Canada roughly offering 3 daily 737 and 9 daily Q400 flights from YEG->YYC assuming a 95% load factor and 95% of those passengers making connections...

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    Something I forgot is that February had an extra day this year so that artificially increases numbers over 2023...

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    Better growth in February propelled by transborder, international, & fbo ops. Growing pax again with less aircraft movements year over year means larger/fuller aircraft. February 2024 Terminal Terminal Traffic: 502,008 passengers (Year-to-date 1,001,254 passengers) 4.1% (Year-to-date 2.6%)...

    Ray Gibbon Drive

    Great vid. Been a great road for St. Albert and maybe down the line it could be easy to grade separate the intersections with so few of them. Just a minor note, if this is your video, the arrows for McKenney and Meadowview are backwards I believe.

    LRT Safety

    A lot of the soft touches have been mostly unsuccessful so totally agree drastic changes are needed. Properly trained folks with riffles and the authority to move people along are a good option in this regard, also like the fare gates. As mentioned previously the court system is an issue and...

    The Edmonton Elks - CFL

    As long as they install a subsurface heating system I am down with that. Bringing fans closer to the field is a big one on my list. If it was a new stadium I would love the quarters area. Slap a translucent roof on a 35K stadium plz. Not sure what the different parties financial strength looks...

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Edmonton

    my concern, and perhaps unfounded, is that we install a bet and then instead of getting the tunnelled subway the area deserves they just say the decision is to eventually convert the brt corridor to surface level LRT. I’m all for improving the pedestrian experience, perhaps improving some...

    Edmonton's Population

    We won’t always be seeing this level of growth so agree it’s reasonable to take an average look over a longer horizon.

    Edmonton Real Estate Market

    Wonder what kind of increase we need to see to get a downtown condo project going. Seems like everything has been purpose built rental lately.

    Downtown Real Estate

    Good to see vacancy drop. I was fearful it might go up as leases expire and tenants take up smaller footprints. Still hear so many stories of folks that used to be full time in the office still only going about once per week.

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    With a big order of 85 Max 10s, 85 A321NEO, & 90 E175 regionals American Airlines which has already dabbled in a bit of expansion/return to Canada with some recent route announcements could very well be positioned to entertain a return to YEG in the near future, perhaps with a regional E175 type...

    Edmonton Branding and Tourism strategy

    We have great festivals that we can be proud of and the city does a great job of hosting and attending. The debate seems to centre around how many we are attracting from further afield. I don’t have any great suggestions for what could be our annual stampede equivalent festival.
