If Prairie Sky wants to revise their plans, relocate that stop from the Rossdale Power Plant to RE/MAX Field. The gondola stop can be SW or NW of the baseball diamond. From that stop, the gondola can sail above the power plant and across the river. The power plant is just a 1 or 2 minute walk from RE/MAX Field. The effects on the Rossdale Transportation project would be minimal at best. And it should be reasonably far enough from the indigenous sacred lands and burial site.

SW of RE/MAX Field. If they can persuade EPCOR to move their Substation 060 building then all the better.

Substation 060 is a former trolleybus substation. It was the newest one on the network. All of the gear (or what was needed anyways) went to Fort Edmonton Park for the ERRS.

Hmm, this is good and bad news. I'm super happy to hear this plan is sticking around, but I don't know if waiting for a change in government is the right play. Sure, Janz might not stick around but the vote was 12-1 and the argument that defeated the project in the end (burial site) was pushed by Paquette, who I don't see losing reelection.

I wonder what's stopping PSG from simply moving the Rossdale station over a bit.

I’d like to see the city investigate which grounds are burial grounds.
