Why is the park fenced off?

That’s not quite an apples to apples comparison. Urban LRT construction requires concrete track slabs, tight utility constraints, etc. Whereas intercity/regional rail would most likely use ballasted track. There is already a large talent pool working for/contracted by CN and CPKC...

That’s what the city says now, but I doubt it’ll ever get built. Fort Road and 50th are close enough. I doubt there will ever be the political appetite to spend the money on an overpass once the intersection has been closed for a decade or more and new traffic patterns establish themselves...

They’re no longer building a bridge at 66 Street. It’s going to be closed in a similar way to how 89 Street or 149 Street intersections were closed. Essentially just remove the traffic lights and put up some concrete barriers. Not a lot to it.

Ouch, that pun made me groat.

People have started moving into the Pilot townhomes. Looks like at least half a dozen rented so far.

What does that mean for full capacity? Will a four-car train have the same capacity as an existing five-car SD160? Do you know the model we might be ordering from Hyundai Rotem?

Encore has already started building in the next phase that the city just finished servicing this fall. This is on Lois Argue Road

Those standard streetlights must be temporary. Maybe the custom ones are on back order. I imagine the rest of the work (including finishing the stop lights at 116 Street and landscaping) will happen in the spring.

The only silver lining I see with the location chosen is that it may encourage the city to look at planning a SW extension of the Metro Line. But yeah, the obvious spot was the location Ian posted… And for the record, every time I have had to visit the Stollery with my kids, we took the LRT. At...

I would just close the intersection entirely, and build a pedestrian bridge over the Yellowhead. Fort Road and 50 street already provide enough vehicular access to the area.

Not sure why you need to imply I'm useless. That seems uncalled for... I only asked because I have seen official renders from developers that looked much worse than that and I wouldn't put it past Regency to come out with something like that, especially when the city is determining if this...

It would be nice if there was a disclaimer attached to such a photo when posted so it doesn’t confuse others.

What am I looking at? Isn't that where Manulife sits now? The surrounding buildings look familiar yet out of place... is this AI?
