Since the thread is brought up. I always felt deep down that METS would have been a great name for the now dead regional transit commission. Times have changed but they both were meant to serve the purpose of getting people around.

Amazing! I've been in Philippines since February also, still here. It has inspired me to hustle more on my Edmonton projects and highlight the region we have! On topic, I look forward to seeing how this new canopy turns out! This stretch of Jasper has been a nice little transformation in...

Yep but this also just states the obvious. Edmonton isn't a downtown city to me, it's a region, that's why I love it. WEM takes so much dollars away from the rest of the city, where this may not be as much of an issue in a different city. WEM, a mall, is our main attraction. Im not sure how or...

I agree with Ian. I'm fairly anti Calgary even tho I'm from there. It's important to see what's happening in both of Albertas major cities because the trends are directly related to each other. Personally, Edmonton is North America's anomaly city and understanding the cities migration inflows...

That's NB, I'm talking about SB. They extended the bridge deck but didn't create a new lane, just a turn off instead with unused bridge space.

Yeah, correct this bridge. It seems half completed. I can't tell if they're going to just leave it as is or if they meant to finish it. I guess I'll find my answer in time regardless

I wonder if they're going to finish the SB Whitemud bridge. It just seemed, slapped together? Funding?

From the project page! 105 Street right hand turn lane closure to expand usable park area Will be very good !

Which also means that slip lane is going buh-bye! 😍

I agree with this fully. Calgary looks attractive because it's marketed well. Being from there people really went to the mountains once or twice a year, if, and anywhere interesting is a day trip. At least my take. Metro Edmonton is filled with a ton of not talked about places. There are many...

I'm interested if WEM would start parking lot redevelopment around the end of the decade near-post VLW opening after the space is done being used for construction. Not sure if WEM's exterior and Water Park roof are in need for renewal too, I imagine it would be soon tho. Probably good timing if...

For as controversial as the Lewis Farms Rec center was and the argument of being 'in the market for 15 minute cities' (Hamilton) I wish this development could have been better than what it will be given it's built to plan.

I live nearish here so I try to keep updated. There are current plans to build out highway 628 Whitemud to Campsite Road. Announcement was 2019. Construction was suppose to start 2021. Its 2023 and nothing still. Anyway heres the design for that for reference. It starts at 231st and beyond. I...

So whats the alternative? If 102nd ave doesn’t meet the standards, what other road could be sacrificed for people? Not just a question for you, but for those who say open the road. I am aiming toward which avenue, since the streets can be connected throughout. Of course the street is quiet...

Apologies, a bit unsure of where this should go so here will do for now The Alberta Government released concept designs for the wading pool at the Legislature. In the link youll see 3 concept and a survey. I like option B but would prefer elements of all three.

Nonexistent basically. Metro Calgary is not the same as Metro Edmonton. When I moved to Edmonton I was surprised there was more than one bus service. Regional transit isn’t needed as much in Calgary as it is in Edmonton. It would be nice for Calgary too, but not as practical. Right now they use...

In which I would generally agree, and I do. However their money has a hand in it all too and thats the reason I raise an eyebrow. Time will tell anyway.

A thought. The Alberta government had to approve the EMTSC to form in the first place. What are the chances that the government can deny this from dissolving? Is that even a possibility?

Here is the EMTSC response to last night: “At the conclusion of their December 15 meeting, the EMTSC Board of Directors released this official statement on yesterday's City of Edmonton budget decision: Edmonton City Council decision signals the end of Edmonton Metropolitan Region Transit...

Well that was fast.
