Capital Line LRT

[David A]

Not the best ROI and often not insignificant $ on the front end. A better approach would be a bonus for performing and completing work early.

I don't care about early, I would just like it done on time. Is that too much to ask?

Sent an e-mail suggesting a MUP to fill in the missing link between 9 Ave and 12 Ave NW and was pleasantly surprised when I received a response. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that they are able to fit it in? Shame, because crossing the tracks to continue south/north there will be annoying. If that was filled in, you could take the Running Creek Road bridge to continue on the east side of 111 St all the way up to 61 Ave.

The 4.5 km extension will be built along the west side of 111 Street, alongside a shared-use path next to the tracks. With the addition of the tracks on the west side, 111 Street (between 12 Ave and 9 Ave) we will need to shift towards the east to allow space for the tracks. This shift would not offer enough space for the addition of a multi-use path on the east side of 111 Street between 12 Ave and 9 Ave.

A great video discussing a needed capital line extension to YEG.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but Yegventures had an idea for letter wayfinding maps for the LRT stations Yegventures LRT Exit Map.

Maybe I'm just bad with maps, but when I'm trying to exit at one of the underground stations to go to concerts this would be super helpful.

Looks like Ledcor is already mob’ing to the extension…….

I’m pretty sure this is still within the scope of Ellis don’s work. They still haven’t reached financial close with capital-line design-builders

Am I confused or was AECON also not apart of capital line design-builders?

Both AECOM and Aecon are part of the consortium bid.....you are correct....

None of the media are including AECON in it though. They just say Ledcor and AECOM. Seems weird

That is because they dropped out of it...Long story short, AECON was bidding for the Translink Surrey-Langley line and they were the chosen as the "preferred" contractor so they pulled out of the Edmonton bid. Something about the negotiations didn't work out with Translink so they didn't go ahead with AECON. (Plot twist, Ledcor was a competitor of AECON in BC and was then awarded the contract). So AECON lost out on both projects and Ledcor won both.

Capital line design builders starting work on OMF

I may be wrong, but it seems like Ellis dons’ pre construction work is quite behind. The pump station is still not finished, and lots of tunnel work still seems to be left. I wonder how that will affect the main contractor work?
