Temporary barriers are gone on the southbound bridge. They just need to repaint the lane markings where they should be and call it a wrap.

Gotta name it Polton John the way it’s still standing.

They’ve gotta keep it there for the lore now.

Why are you so mad about this? The property is slated for demolition for a second tower anyway, but even if that takes a year or more to manifest, I’d rather walk past a nice mural than a building that clearly looks abandoned and has homeless people living in the nooks and crannies.

I blame that all on the selfish Bulyea residents that were like “but muh access to Terwillegar Drive via 40th Ave.” Look at how much more complexity that would have added to the interchange to accommodate ramps to 40th.

Made a map of all the parking lots in Downtown and the surrounding core neighborhoods. https://maps.app.goo.gl/CsKY642sPT8py74f9?g_st=ic There are quite a few gravel lots that won’t be redeveloped into park space, but that makes them prime for residential development. I know some are slated...

Building Edmonton website says completion of the 156th Street to St. Albert Trail section has been pushed back from August to October 🙄

So after reading Ian’s post about the issue of gravel parking lots downtown, I was inspired to map out all the gravel parking lots and empty lots in the core of the city, as well as large paved parking lots and parkades. There’s another section called “Upcoming Developments” that is still a work...

I think the problem for Edmonton is criterion #2. Since our employment is more decentralized, the share of non-car commutes is smaller for most, if not all, neighborhoods.

My guy, this Edmonton. I think you know very well why a long-ass tunnel under a rail yard, with not many eyes on it cuz it's under a frickin' rail yard, would be a bad idea for safety and cleanliness.

It’s pretty common around Italy. Either the army or highly militarized police (Carabinieri). No one seems to mind.

Maybe we could do street-car and cross-town LRT subway on Whyte, but if only one of these can be feasibly built, build a subway on Whyte. Otherwise it will be ridiculously slow.

I ain't gonna lie, I'm starting to feel the construction fatigue and kind of agree with Cartmell. Henday expansion is done, and Terwillegar Drive/Whitemud, Valley Line, Yellowhead, 50th Street grade separation, Jasper Ave and most of the Capital Line South extension are all set to wrap up by...

Tbf, that area around Station Lands has gotten much better. With the Boyle Street building gone and the regular programming at the Fan Park (and general proximity to Ice District), this area is a lot livelier.

Although speaking of school, I would love to see them expedite the development of a field and playground by the indigenous school. Would make the community a lot more livable.

Heh, I saw it too while driving on Calgary Trail past 23rd Ave. Although I though they only fly on Tuesdays and Thursdays?

Wasn't the Ultima Tower built on top of the existing warehouse there?

It's so cute! It's like a momma tower with her little baby 👶😍

That cost estimate for Metro Line NW sounds about right. It's a mere extension (not a new line) that includes one underpass (137th Ave), just like the Capital Line South, and even with the looooong bridge over Walker (analogous to the two bridges on CLSE), it can't possibly go above a $2.5...

Thank God it's finally done. That's one more traffic snarl done and over with, especially for the heavily bottlenecked Southwest. It's just a shame that Alberta Transport didn't widen the Henday to 3 lanes in each direction at the QE2 interchange. I get that they assumed that a lot of people...
