Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

[Glenco]

It should have been elevated over the entirety of 104th. And please spare me the tired arguments about the 'urban realm' or costs. Elevated over 104th (especially at what will forever now be the gong show at 109 st) would have looked quite urban. It seems to work in Vancouver. As for costs - when it comes to generational infrastructure like this, it's ALWAYS better to spend up front, rather than trying to fix it later on.

Yeh. We had this debate 10 years ago you are a bit late to the party

does anyone knows if they're removing the boulevard trees in 104st?
These ones at the centre of the street:

I don't think so, they aren't in the way of LRT construction.

They are shown in the valley line west booklet as well:

Bold choice of music made me chuckle.

They are definitely moving quickly with a bunch of stuff. When I went through the Edmonton City Center doors at the west side of the 102 Street Station they had blocked off some of the sidewalk and rerouted people to other doors to get in.

I hope that 102 Street LRT access can be maintained from Rogers Place.

Came today and saw they filled in the basement and cut down some trees.View attachment 724936View attachment 724941View attachment 724942View attachment 724943View attachment 724940View attachment 724939View attachment 724938View attachment 724937
