Considering that City Centre Mall has changed hands, Holt Renfrew has moved out, a bunch of smaller businesses along the corridor have shut down... No.

It's not bad, it's just that Edmonton seems to build its elevated stations in conjunction with PnRs. It's like they have to put the station on stilts to stay above a sea of parking.

The same reason that the South extension was split into Heritage Valley and 41 Ave SW perhaps?

At this point it's an Edmonton thing. Davies is a PnR, Heritage Valley will be a PnR... Misericordia and WEM may as well be considered PnRs too since they're next to / surrounded by gigantic parking lots (Guinness certified for the latter)

What is 'BRT' supposed to be for the purpose of discussion? Certain ETS routes (the X series) already incorporate rapid transit elements, but Edmonton doesn't seem to use the term BRT or advertise specific routes the way Vancouver does with Rapidbus/B-line or Calgary with Max. Terwillegar...

The EMRB has updated their regional transportation plan to bring it in line with the City Plan. Of the proposed rapid transit corridors (purple), most are copied straight from the LRT network plan but there are a couple that are proposed BRT corridors, namely 97 St/Gateway and Terwillegar/Fox Drive.

They're on! But they don't take my transit pass (because it's paper of course).

Gerry Wright is the Valley Line OMF. You are thinking of the D.L. MacDonald yard. The article makes sense. Ellerslie station is the stop that complements the Heritage Valley Park and Ride, because the name Heritage Valley (Towne Centre) is reserved for one of the planned stations of Phase 2...

I didn't mention this, but the LRV fleet renewal programme is another big ticket item. Edmonton mopes about our heritage streetcar and how limited it is, but to the Germans who are running U5s (and soon to be U6s), our vehicles ARE heritage. ETS actually helped restore a prototype unit that is...

Edmonton already has the plan -- hopefully they can build ahead. This point in the conclusion of the report gives me hope: Continue discussions with other orders of government on their interest in a scope change to extend to the Health Campus or Heritage Valley Town Centre Since the money for...

As noted in another thread, the validators are being installed at the existing LRT stations. They have little bonnets on the machines, a very interesting aesthetic.

I'm very skeptical about this bridge. It is insanely hard to get anything in the river valley, and I just can't imagine another vehicle crossing built that's not a replacement of an existing one. I suppose this proposed structure could theoretically replace the Hawreluk footbridge, but then...

So there will be a station at Twin Brooks after all, interesting. Given the kerfuffle with the Green Line, I'm surprised that McIver hasn't raised much objection to this. A billion dollars for 4.5 km of rail seems steep compared to Valley Line but if it's grade separated I guess it makes sense...

A slightly different angle: this is from the bottom of the ravine looking up. There's work being done to widen 83 St a bit? The mosaic. It kinda looks like psychedelic snakeskin. Someday there'll be water flowing through here again.

There's some sort of decorative mosaic work going on at Avonmore near the intersection of Argyll and 83 St. I talked to the lady in charge, apparently it's part of the public art as well? The design is like the Davies station glass, a long sinuous colourful piece. It was getting a lot of...

Wow, there's a shattered pane in the third picture already? How long has this been installed? Typical for downtown I guess, can't have nice things without someone taking a bat to them...

How has the rollout been so far for people? I notice the Valley Line precursor route 510X is pretty horrible in Mill Woods at the moment. There's construction along 76 St, 38 Ave AND 66 St, which just fouls up traffic since roads are down to one lane. The old express route (71) took Mill Woods...

Just set the fares in crypto and have done with it. 10 Doge a ride and nobody would bat an eyelid.

A car rental company, perhaps? Personally, I wouldn't mind a grocery store there. To be fair, the area is not suited for residential development even with the school next door. It is a shame that some sort of pedestrian connectivity isn't established between Argyll and Wagner -- maybe that has...

The issue with 87 Ave is obviously the mixing of traffic modes when a route that segregates the LRT alignment and reduces construction impact to traffic is evident. To ignore it and say the current scheme 'makes sense' is to excuse bad design and an abdication of judgement. As to the St Albert...
