Here's part of their analysis, with some highlights bolded by me: "The 113A Street corridor performed strongest based on future population densities and future land use opportunities; while the 127 Street corridor was strongest in existing population densities and existing activity centres. The...

This report highlights the two other options (113A Avenue is what got selected). Here are some screenshots from it, and the accompanying display boards. I pulled them from this amazing page that has a ton of interesting documents. Since this is the Valley Line thread, here are the history...

It's not hasty; they've been planning it for more than a decade. It's not suburban-style; it's three times more dense than a typical suburban neighbourhood and very central. And I'd argue that it has an important role aside from housing people: it's giving private industry invaluable experience...

It's largely a repeat of the year-end update I linked above, but among the Council memos published today is a progress update about Blatchford that has a few more details.

My view on the power plant is a bit controversial; I think it was a fair choice to properly consult Indigenous groups, since in the city's history this had never happened yet despite the presence of a cemetery/burial ground, and the significant importance of the area to Indigenous people. I...

Project Update - December 2024 As we approach the end of the 2024 construction season, we would like to highlight the construction work completed to date on the Warehouse Park Project. Earthwork, including all surface removals, excavation and fill requirements, have been ongoing since...

It's just politics; they cover for each other. Councilors can vote against the requests in their specific wards to placate the local opposition, while being rest assured that they won't jeopardize progress because there's already more than enough votes to approve the proposal.

Bugger, I was off. He clarified that this is for when the line goes out to Naki, and captures local + commuter riders. I did some digging, and page 20 of this corridor selection report says the corridor between Naki and NAIT will have 42,000 - 45,000 riders per year in 2041. With that being...

I think Yeggator is on to something, but I'll follow up with him.

I'm not sure how much that matters when looking at ROI for LRT. If the Metro Line extension takes a lot of riders away from buses, then that allows ETS to re-deploy those buses (and the associated "operating hours") to fill some badly needed gaps. Same reason why a route planner with ETS that I...

I spoke with someone who, until recently, worked for the City of Edmonton in LRT project management. He said that the Castle Downs area was actually modeled to have among the highest LRT ridership in the whole network; something that even surprised him.

Woops, I must have clicked on the thread next to Peak Tower.

Looks like it's starting to fill up. Taken November 22. Sorry for the poor quality; there was a double-layer temporary fence and I could only manage to hide one of those layers.

Some workers were grading part of the old Atco site and month or so ago, right before the first big snowfall occurred. I didn't see any permits for that property though, so I don't know what that was about.

Project Update - Fall 2024 The majority of construction work for the Ortona Armoury Building Rehabilitation Project was completed in summer 2024. In summer 2024, Arts Habitat Edmonton began operating the facility (as ArtsHub Ortona). Arts Habitat leases the space to artists, organizes...

Project Update - Fall 2024 Rehabilitation work continues across William Hawrelak Park. The replacement of all deep utility services throughout the park is complete. The rehabilitation of the two overflow drainage outfalls at the North Saskatchewan River is complete. The roadways and new shared...

The Transit App recently got an update which made it a lot better for cyclists. Even better, they take feedback! "It’s early days for our bike routing — if we give you a helmet-scratcher of a route, help us make an improvement so all riders can benefit! Take a screenshot of the issue, and tell...
