Thank you for your comments. From our meetings with City Transportation as well as the Rossdale Power Plant rehabilitation team, we have heard that they will keep the parking and no extra expansion is planned outside of the Power Plant. This may be because the plant is an enormous building which...

We received an email about this and have updated our blog as it was never our intention to infer that one group of passengers is better or worse than another. We want everyone to feel welcome and safe using our ropeway system. It escaped our eyes during the editing process and we are thankful it...

We'll have more to share soon on our indigenous engagement. You may also want to read Kirsten Goa's thread today. It's quite extensive and we would love it if you could share on your networks:

This is a sketch that is used as a placeholder, it's not a schematic design so not at scale. However, it's true that the Rossdale Power Plant station will be one of two larger stations (Old Strathcona being the other) as our intent is for them to become hubs, places that you move in and out of...

We will be to the East of the Rossdale Power Plant, nestle in between the power plant and Epcor. There's currently an enclosed parking space that will be opened up as part of the Rossdale Transportation Network Redesign. Here is a design from their survey actually!

We're back with our tent at the Old Strathcona's Farmers Market today from 9am - 3pm. As always come with your questions & would love to hear from anyone who would be willing to speak in favour of the project. You can register to speak here...

Here are a few salient points we wanted to outline from the agreements: Full alignment with the 6 principles established by City Council and contained in the Master Agreement Framework All capital and operating costs borne solely by PSG – no subsidies direct or indirect from the City All land...

Any of you interested in speaking in favour of the Prairie Sky Gondola project? We are going in front of Executive Committee on Wed, Aug 10 at 9:30am to seek approval of our real estate and infrastructure agreements. Mainly we are looking for Edmontonians who can express why they think it...

FYI. We're back with our tent at Al Fresco on 104 Street Downtown Edmonton on Saturday from 11am to 3pm!

We are planning to have one of our small gondola stations built west of the Ortona Amories. It would also offer a small coffee shop and public washrooms. We consulted with Arts Habitat and the group that will be operating the rehabilitated building and they told us that they will be having...

Sunshine & urban gondolas are always a winning combo but add to it vintage motorcycles & car shows, vendors, artists, yoga, and art classes. But also the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival and ArtWorks on Churchill Square - now that is THE weekend to be downtown. Lots happening...

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 everyone! UPDATE: We will be at the Old Strathcona Farmers Market tomorrow/Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Pass by, let others know and ask questions. Hopefully no rain!

We met with ETS last week and we asked specifically that question: Are we taking jobs or revenue away from ETS? Are we replacing routes? They responded, "Absolutely not." We insisted, "Is there any indirect way that we are negatively impacting ETS?" Their response was that we didn't. They...

Thanks so much for the compliment, so glad you had a chance to meet Claire. We also had a UofA Urban Planning student and a recent graduate and we were swept off our feet. Thank you for all the questions and support. It was also such a fabulous feeling to see Downtown hopping with excitement...

REMINDER that tomorrow on Sat, June 25 you can visit us and ask questions as our blue tent will be downtown at the Al Fresco on 104 which is every Saturday for the whole Summer. For those who don't know, it's a wonderful open-air celebration filled with extended patios, live music, art classes...

That's exactly part of our plan. Connectivity is a big part of our project. Connecting missing links and connecting main streets creates vibrancy, visibility and opportunity. One of our favourite spots Downtown is the promenade on Macdonald Drive. It's such a beautiful and unique view with...

Thanks Jason and something we are trying to convey is that our business case has a diversified revenue portfolio and was reviewed by Steer Group, an unquestioned world leader in transportation infrastructure, in the fall last year. This review included a full bottom-up ridership and revenue...

Thanks for the feedback & we're continuing to listen. A lot has changed since those initial 2020 conversations and no final decision has been made. Today we had a meeting with WIX, which will be operating ARC, and they reminded us that the advantage of using an ARC card is that, as long as...
