I can understand that they're feeling that, I cannot understand how they feel it is wrong or unexpected.

True, hopefully the pavilion will be visible lol

I like it too... the red to me looks quite nice and the design is unique. Will continue to pop in the winter which I think is pretty important.

Just going back to a discussion about ridership that was had quite a while ago, the daily ridership on route 73 from Feb-April last year is reported to be over 10,000 so is it safe to assume it’s at least 20,000?

Also anecdotal but when I watch it pass McKernan/Belgravia it is also often pretty vacant. I have noticed increased ridership in the last few weeks though.

The thing that made the area what it is will kill it? Ok….

I don't really mind hyphenated names as long as they make sense (South Campus/Ft Ed is asinine) since most people just say the more notable part of the name anyways. While I like perpendicular streets being in names (especially downtown) I think they should still include their original names...

As someone who is in school for planning, the conversations I have with people when I tell them what I’m studying have repeatedly proven that the average Edmontonian shouldn’t be anywhere near where decisions are made about infrastructure. I understand some people believe they should have a...

I'm obsessed with the implication here that elitists have pedestrians as their priority or that those who don't or can't drive are themselves the elitists. As for how much people "love" driving, I don't think anyone I've spoken to in my life has expressed joy about driving downtown; it is a poor...

Could be hard for some people, but most people can say Saskatchewan and Wetaskiwin which I'd argue are very similar words; the only difference is that Wîhkwêntôwin is spelt correctly.

80 km/h just seems too slow. I’ve always thought it felt fast for the design and maybe that it should go down to 100 maybe even 90 where the poorly drawn red line is shown below but 80 seems sluggish, much like it feels sluggish on most of the Whitemud. Of course it’s in the name of safety but...

Yup that's correct, my point was that the current LRT service including Metro and Capital Lines had a ridership lower than 135,000 according to the APTA report which makes me think the figures given for the Valley line were monthly ridership numbers. It's possible the current actual ridership is...

If that is daily I'd be really surprised because the capital line isn't even near that level according to the 2023 Q3 ridership report by the APTA ( https://www.apta.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-Q3-Ridership-APTA.pdf ). 5000/day also seems dismally low.

Meanwhile, republican state senators in FLORIDA pushing forward bills promoting new brightline (privately owned and operated intercity rail line between Miami and Orlando) expansions that would be partly funded by the state. As someone who’s quite progressive myself, the ANDP’s apparent lack of...

Don’t often go north but as this has been going up along with the renovation starting on that white building just north of 106 Av it gives a pretty good impression of what the area could become at least in the last few times I’ve driven up 101 st. Hoping it sparks some other proposals in the...

That kind of got me thinking, I wonder what would happen if people used 87 Av to/from 114 st seeing as the majority of University Av traffic is coming from Groat. Could do this by only allowing E-W traffic through from University Av blocking opportunities to turn onto 114 st. While this would...

If I’m not mistaken they had ditched the turnstiles by the time University was built but I don’t think it would be that hard given the huge open spaces in the station and multiple levels to choose from

In my dreams we'd have a more tightly built freeway network with a further northern (east) Whitemud alignment (SPF-Argyll-63-Fox Dr), 75 st N-S, and 170 St N-S with the Yellowhead where it is. I think that would've ended up being more useful to more people, especially when they would've been...
