I feel mixed on the province right now, but a regional rail link is something I really want to see! I'm glad its getting talked about and that there seems to be some high level plans. We need a rail link from Edmonton to Calgary, but even just airport links would be a really good step.
Oh shoot, I didn't realize you were active on this forum! Your videos are a huge part of why I'm interested in public transit.
That said I really like the idea of walkthrough trains. Edmonton was recently taking feedback on the layout of the new trains, (just the seating arrangements), but in...
I would absolutely die for a southern expansion like that on the Metro line! Ever since I was a kid I had dreams of a train running through the median of Terwillegar Drive! I don't know if that median would be the best route to run the train, but I still fantasize about it when I'm driving along...
I'll have to post some gantry crane updates the next time I bike out to WEM. I've been salivating over the construction progress going on there. Last I saw they were pouring another support pillar for the part of the line that crosses over from WEM to the center of the street.
I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but Yegventures had an idea for letter wayfinding maps for the LRT stations Yegventures LRT Exit Map.
Maybe I'm just bad with maps, but when I'm trying to exit at one of the underground stations to go to concerts this would be super helpful.
I feel this immense sense of excitement at the prospect of this even potentially becoming a reality. It would be incredible if I could take a high speed train to visit my family in Calgary over the weekends.
I like this idea. I think systems that punish drivers for poor driving will never be as effective as making it harder to drive poorly and easier to drive safer. Designing infrastructure to influence behavior instead of penalty systems to influence behavior.
There's a survey going right now about new LRT seat layouts. City of Edmonton: LRT Seating Feedback. I don't like the current seating layout. I find the trains get super clogged up in the face to face seating area during rush hour. People don't squeeze into that area because getting in and out...
I'm really excited to see the pillars go up! I've been trying to get out on my bike as much as possible to go look at the construction. Also hello everyone! I've been lurking the form for a while, and finally decided to make an account. I think I saw some of you on the 5am Valley Line ride.
