I text Transit Watch and they've been very response. You can also contact your Councillors in support of the budget packages I linked in the LRT safety thread (primarily, the combined TCAT/COTT one). EPS has three teams of 7 (6 cops and a sergeant) that are dedicated to transit - they're...

Other snippets I caught: They have a signed agreement for one 4-6 storey building (presumably Crimson Cove's), with three others "just days" away from signing. Each will supposedly bring around 90 more units. Also, of the 195 townhouse lots being developed in Stage 6, they're in talks with a...

From the Spring Budget Adjustment package https://pub-edmonton.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=031c5f22-d456-4284-b7c3-e6f7241eb964&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English&Item=23&Tab=attachments

They were on Edmonton AM last week if you want to hear more about it from them. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-17-edmonton-am/clip/16052073-revolution-cycle-found-home-downtown

Just search "Active" and sort by memo date, and you should find it! https://data.edmonton.ca/City-Administration/Memos-to-Council/kyni-rzw4/data_preview

On the memo website, there's a memo from Jan 22, 2024 regarding the active transportation acceleration plan. The memo website won't let me copy the document url annoyingly, and I can't figure out how to attach the PDF files that I uploaded here. That being said, here are some highlights.

I'm still unsure if it's new money; the budget says capital grants to Edmonton and Calgary for lrt projects, water infrastructure, etc. are increasing by $350 million. Did the province transfer all funds for those other projects up front, or are they being dispursed in tranches that the province...

One nice thing about this is that they're also zoning land for a play area and park that would link the existing school (amiskwaciy academy) to the main Blatchford park where the pond is. It's good they're making improvements for the school and integrating it into the neighbourhood, rather than...

This might be worthy of a thread at some point, but for now I'll plop it here: NAIT has a request for pre-qualifications ending on 4 March, for someone to design, build, operate, and maintain a student residence. The RFP document does not list an address, but does state that the development must...

The Public Realm Strategy team sent an email today: We hope you have had a pleasant start to 2024! We appreciate everyone’s interest in the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy and your patience since our last update. The draft Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy is ready! The draft...

That's a good point, and reminds me of something: I think an admin report mentioned that this happened now because the regional CAOs requested it as a way to help complete the regional transit network.

I can only speak for myself, but I think that'd be a good compromise. Short term pain for long term gain.

To be fair, they're reacting to the actual perception of current and potential riders. Their job is to provide an option that works best for the most residents, not to try and "sell" another city's transit system. If you only have the resources for one commuter route (which FST currently does)...

That extension took many years of paperwork before they could break ground precisely because they don't own or control the ROW. I recall hearing they were surprised by how long the administrative process took; they thought it'd be a bit easier to get approved since it was a recently abandoned...

The area north of Whyte Ave and south of the river is what I have in mind!

Just to clarify, the ERRS does not own the ROW. The province owns most of it, and the city owns the crossings. Or something like that. Either way, it's out of the society's hands completely. I am a member, but when I post here it's purely on behalf of myself and my beliefs. I do think it would...

I don't know if it's still the case, but I asked about this on a walking tour of the line around a year or so before it opened, and the city rep said the plan was to have a shuttle take them between Gerry Wright and Davies. IIRC Davies has facilities for them to change and whatnot.

So you don't know of any project covering that specific stretch of 99 St? I wonder why they'd leave it out of both adjacent projects.

Thanks so much, I appreciate that! And thanks everyone else as well :)
