Was impressed by the amount of Hoarding being used this year. Looks like concrete work all winter.

They’ll most likely try to complete the plinths on the guideway, stop platforms, and track work outside of the intersections over the winter. Should be able to get lots done

A train with car 2022 leading to Mill Woods was involved in a a collision with a Culligan truck at 100 St. 20 minutes delay before they got things running.
Trains are alternating between terminating at Churchill or 102 St.
Damage is minor. Headlight panels were damaged but were able to be put back into place and then damaged skirt pieces. I didn't see any damage on the Culligan truck, but it could have been on the driver side

This isn't just "crosswalks needed" but plain driver stupidity. The truck apparently tried to CUT OFF a train in turning left.

Take away his license permanently.

That driver made an illegal left turn. Left turns are banned at that intersection.

Nope, but to be fair to the truck driver there are only two signs warning drivers lol

2015 has a new wrap for AMA, with such messages as "Give this train a brake" and " Please don't hit me!"

Is that photoshop?

If that's real that is amazing

so 102ave has been reduced to one skinny lane eastbound. and 103ave now only extends from 109st to 100st. Add to that several streets between 109 and say 97th St. have in some way been reduced and/or blocked for usage. I don't have the patience to drive downtown anymore. Should just put a nice decorative fence around it.

It is definitely real. Today I ran into the car again and got the remainder of the messages which include "Ouch!" and "That one hurt!"
I also saw the Culligan truck that got hit of all things. It is the new style of International chassis which made me look close when I saw it today, and indeed there was damage on the left side. The LRV certainly got the worst of it, given this truck was back on the road the next day.

Here in Edmonton we went for over 40 years with an LRT system underground only downtown and we haven't had street cars for even longer. So I realize there is a learning curve for people to adjust to changes, particularly for those who do not go downtown often. Heck I still regularly see people turning right and driving down bike lanes. IMO it is not that hard to look for and just follow the signs, but perhaps for some people it is.
