Metro Line LRT | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

Here's a map of Blatchford.


I hope that some of the roads are built when the LRT is completed.
 
Made a bike trip out to Blatchford this morning.

This is from the north end station looking north toward Yellowhead. The rail line, bike path and sidewalk extend about 100m north of the station.

North end of the north Station looking south. The bike lane and sidewalk are completed about half way from here to the NAIT station.

This is where bike trail and sidewalk ends looking south toward NAIT station.

The NAIT station. No sidewalks or bike lane completed in this area versus the north Station where all that work is completed including bike racks. North Station also ready for landscaping.

The NAIT station is definitely a lot closer to the current residential. Not sure who would be using the north Station for a few years.

This will be such a nice area once landscaping goes in and the street wall gets built up!!
 
It doesn't take much more time or effort for the train to go the last station here, so it would probably make sense to do so even if it doesn't have many passengers initially.

I suppose this station is being built ahead of the demand for it, but it is so much easier to do it all at once and before the area is filled in.

So I don't fault the LRT planner on this one, but I do wish the development of Blatchford was proceeding faster.
