Does anyone know how extending LRT out of legal Edmonton boundaries works in terms of funding, procurement, construction, etc? My uneducated assumption would be that the city of St. Albert works with ETS or some sort of consortium, depending on how it's built, and they work with the province and...

Idk about that. If you’re sitting in Whyte remedy on a weekday morning like this one, you’ll likely see a bus pass on average every 2 minutes. That’s a need if I’ve ever seen one. Plus, a train down Whyte would be good for Sherwood Park students… “we’re gonna build a train, and we’re gonna make...

Oh good to see they’re on top of it too

Apple Maps have added the line to the transit layer, they seem to be more on top of updating transit than google maps from what I’ve seen in other cities… plus it looks nicer

I’m gonna be on that first train as if my life depends on it (it does)

The machines have tap which should include apple pay if that's what you mean

I agree! I think the whole “forget it, TOD in Edmonton has failed” thing is just another case of Edmonton-bubble-expectation-let-down syndrome. Is there a North American metro close in population that has more successful TOD than us?

Not sure I agree. The tickets are one time use, just like the old paper tickets, which differs from the cards which can be used and refilled for much longer. They ought to be different. This is quite common from what I’ve seen.

Arc cards are plastic, arc tickets are not

Try to find a table at Hawrelak on a hot summer afternoon, it's not easy (or possible, often).

I’m not so sure about that one, 2-lane roundabouts can handle up to 50-60 thousand cars per day which works here, although is likely already near that upper limit. The real issue is 114th up to University Ave which is dependably gridlocked every single morning because of the Uni Av level...

The hostility seems unnecessary, it's a valid question

Would I be incorrect if I believed that most private river valley courses are on leased city land? I remember some talk a few years ago about an extension to the Mayfair lease of 18 years coming at a cost of around 800,000.

I had to do a double take, never seen Groat from that angle

Fair, the Telus building rlly doesn’t do any favours

Cool! I gotta check that out

Yeah, he’s definitely been to Calgary by now but not Edmonton if I recall correctly

They have audible station announcements going?

Exactly. Can’t wait for the neighbourhood newsletter article featuring the president airing their grievances about this one like they do with every development.

That’s kinda why I’m confused, I mean it’s not like 122 St is known for being super busy so it won’t get backed up or anything but why not take advantage of the faster dedicated lanes. My only guess is they don’t want the buses to have to cross 3 lanes of traffic between Terwillegar and Fox dr.
