Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

[Yegpeople]

Met with Reed Clarke yesterday and he also expressed the sentiment that people don’t realize how long it’ll take to open the west LRT. The operation is still up in the air too by the sounds of it….

Did reed clarke said how long will it take ? Why operation is not finalised I believe they have to fund operations in next 4 year budget cycle from 2026 to 2030 this year?

He seemed cautious with words likely because there’s big legal stuff getting sorted with TransEd. That’s my guess at least.

I do hope this drainage work will be much quicker than the 4 or 5 years spent on drainage work for the downtown portion of the VLSE.

I think the block east of 97 Street had that basin installed for the rain water.

102ave is packed with utilities, while I dont think it will take 5 years, its not going to be easy by any stretch for marigold to do it in 2 or 3 years. ( unless it was mainly completed for vlse))

Is it me or do these seem a lot bigger than the VLSE TPSS? Maybe just the angle

There has been some construction occurring on 102 Ave for the past few years. I assume these were for utility relocations in anticipation of the VLW.
