Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

I hope that testing can carry on into the evening and even night.

in terms of traffic backups I’d wager it has as much or more to do with this being the first week of school as it does the resumption of lrt testing.

One traffic challenge not.directly related to the LRT is the backup in traffic on Connors Road eastbound. The traffic turning off 85 Street creates quite a bottleneck.

For whatever reason I am feeling unbelievably optimistic that this LRT line will actually open before the calendar flops over to 2024.

Yes, I would hope at some point they run out of previously undiscovered problems to discover.

Would be nice to also have the west’s Q2 report as well

When Valley Line opens, much of downtown will be within two or three blocks of an LRT station.

I wonder what will happen to that portion of 156? Little dead end turnaround with landscaping? Wish they’d add a good MUP for accessing the library there. Connecting to 92ave at minimum, or ideally 95ave (the district connector that’s being built soon), would be huge for accessibility.

Doesn't look like it's a permanent closure: https://www.edmonton.ca/public-files/assets/document?path=VLW_Booklet.pdf#page=26

Anyone got non Twitter links? I can't view them anymore without signing up apparently

No train testing in Millwoods today. Grounding cables either side of the crossover south of the whitemud. Barricades and stop signs on both tracks . People messing around with what I assume the crossover signals - one in a box and two more on their knees messing with something on the rails

 

[The_Cat]

Have the crossover signals been certified?

Didn't notice anything happening from downtown all the way along the line to Roper Road, nothing at all
