At 111 Street and Saddleback Road (just north of Century Park station).

Short MUP on Allendale Road now open.

Great! Now I can bike beside 4 lanes of choking car traffic. Why didn't they just put that empty bloated road on a diet?

It’s actually not a bad addition.
It’s a completed missing link to allows you to get into Allendale and onto 106th St. It saves you having to go through the New Asian Express Hotpot parking lot.
As someone who bikes down 63rd Ave not infrequently, it’s welcome.

I just wish they did the part in between gateway and calgary trail, which is very narrow and substandard. Very nice addition though. Also wish it just continued down 63rd, directly to 106 st instead of turning into a local road and not following the direct route

City’s first mountain bike park taking shape in river valley thanks to community effort
Volunteers have dedicated some 1,800 hours this summer to building Edmonton’s first mountain bike park at the site of the former wastewater treatment plant in Queen Elizabeth Park.

For a biomechancial perspective:
"Cycling represents one of the most energy-efficient forms of transport ever invented"

"Cycling represents one of the most energy-efficient forms of transport ever invented"
The exercise at least four times more efficient than walking

Active Transportation Network Expansion | City of Edmonton
We are expanding Edmonton’s active transportation network with routes that are safe, accessible and predictable for people of all ages and abilities.
The Active Transportation Network Improvements website has added route maps for the 2025 routes that they are currently working on which gives a good idea of what things are supposed to look like. I have not seen any evidence of construction starting along Kingsway, so they better hope October weather holds up!

I'd be surprised if they didn't install curbs in the next couple of weeks. They must be fairly easy to put in if the city was able to casually take the 40 St ones out for reconfiguration.

You can see the curbs stacked up on the side of the photo, they likely just removed them for painting

The report indicated they're going to reconfigure the curbs a little to improve snow clearing. They're also going to deal with (or have dealt with) concrete quality issues, which likely also exists on Hermitage Road but they're not subject to being in the direct line of fire with errant drivers like the 40 St curbs are.
