I would rather see that crossing underground or trenched. However, I'm willing to live with it as proposed so long as the other two are underground--137 Avenue most of all. But you're right, having an underground/trenched station immediately before and after a street-level station with an...

Jack Campbell's now trying to do the opposite.

No, let's stick with the underground/trenched stations at these locations. It seems that in this instance the City is making the right decision for the long-term. Particularly at 137 Avenue, where an at-grade crossing would be a disaster. North of the CN rail yard, the line will be running...

No one's asking her to "run" the City of Edmonton--she has one lone vote on a council of thirteen.

Yeah, the electorate made a few mistakes in 2021--the worst being voting out Bev Esslinger and Moe Banga.

Valid point. He doesn't have enough gas left in the tank to command that price. He's more than seven years off his single Art Ross Trophy.

Sad news about a former Oiler. Sending positive thoughts to Andy Moog and his family. https://www.houston-today.com/news/bc-hockey-legend-andy-moog-diagnosed-with-cancer-7114978

And look at the number of car/train (not to mention pedestrian) accidents Calgary has had on its at-grade sections. Edmonton has had exactly zero car/train accidents on the sections where the train is either underground or grade separated. As to your second point, I wouldn't put much faith in...

Well, if worst comes to worst I'm hearing good things about Macklin Celebrini.

They're getting a better player back in Draisaitl. Why would we make that deal? Two words: Erin Basil.

I don't draw my conclusions based on members' self-descriptions or avatars, but rather on the positions they take. A Calgarian would advocate for surface running LRT and against grade separation because it's a decision (read: mistake) the city made decades ago and it's what that community is...

But United (Denver, Chicago, Newark) and Delta (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Detroit) also have hubs where they deal with cold weather and yet their OTP is miles ahead of AC and WS.

To Vegas Golden Knights: Leon Draisaitl C Jack Campbell G To Edmonton Oilers: Jack Eichel C Erin Basil GF Jiri Patera G This deal solves multiple problems for the Oilers. It gets rid of Campbell and his contract, both of which are albatrosses around the team's neck. It provides for an...

I'm almost convinced that you are an actual Calgarian at this point. What other reason would there be for your opposition to giving Edmonton proper infrastructure? Why else would you support something substandard when a growing city deserves public facilities and a transportation network that...

Traffic volume on Ellerslie is only going to grow as development continues in the area. Elevation will almost certainly be necessary. @Yeggy insists that the presence of the Henday makes expanding Ellerslie unnecessary but it's important to remember that the Henday does not provide direct access...
