Hopping off this, I absolutely love that TransEd specifically chose plants which would maintain some colour throughout the winter so that the ROW didn't look dead and depressing for half of the year. It's the small things like that which will not only improve the visual appeal of the area, but help nudge Edmontonions towards embracing being in a winter city. I personally think that the cold is easier to deal with, or at least my seasonal depression decreases, when there's a nice mixture of colours outside, and I don't need to see literally all plantlife 'shut down' at the same time.
On another note:
'No stopping that train': Where the mayoral front runners stand on the West LRT
And speaking of the VLW, Marigold
released a bulletin stating that the WEM TC is being demolished to make room for the new one. I heard rumours that it would be integrated instead, so I guess those were wrong. Someone on Reddit claimed that they they were privy to the discussions about the existing structure slated to be demolished, and apparently it was designed to be temporary; the old one was just so decrepit and below ETS standards that they needed a stopgap until VLW construction started. That could explain why they only need three days to demolish it and clean up the site. Hopefully this is true, and ETS didn't waste money on building something fancy that only lasted a few years.
