Jasper Ave

Thanks for all the photos, folks! My camera broke and my partner hasn’t sent the ones she took over yet. But you all beat me to it anyways. I love the new wider sidewalk, trees, and bike light on 110 St. It’s really shaping up to be a nice “Main Street”!

On another note, it was a bit quieter on Jasper and 109 than Whyte and 105.

These are great pictures. You can really feel that the sidewalk areas are wider than before and when the trees have matured the street will look pretty good I think.

Already, the sidewalks look a whole lot nicer than before.

How much further east was this supposed to be done to?

In front of the Conference center is going to be especially nice; there are portions of walkway where on both sides there are trees. I can't recall anywhere downtown like that.

Didn't take pictures, but paving between 109st and 111 street is going at full speed. At this pace, they'll have Jasper open again by the end of the month. I'll try to take pics tomorrow

Since those photos were taken. the street is paved and the planters have all got concrete. The pavers are going in as well. Centre medium is being formed today. The far east side has the barrier moved closer to the Convention centre.

Quick update: the whole stretch from 109 to 114 st just needs the last layer of asphalt and painting to be done, except for the intersection of Jasper and 111 street that, according to a crewman that I stopped today, is supposed to be done on Monday.
Also, according to him, they're probably finish laying the asphalt over the course of next week, so I'm assuming the whole thing will be open for traffic by the end of the month

Yesterday some traffic has been transferred to the east bound laned in front of the convention center.

Quick update: they're prepping the terrain to have the last layer of asphalt done, between 112 and 114 street. Probably going to be done and traffic will br moved back to the westbound lanes over the weekend, on this stretch

 

[Airboy]

And they are now saw cutting the road on 100st. the new section in front of the Mac. for utility duct installation. Light standards are still not up in front of ECC.

Driving here today, it seems like they're speeding up to open the road before winter hits us. It clearly looks like what was supposed to be the last layer of asphalt was not laid down and they're just giving us a "temporary" finish. I'm not sure about the safety of it, as there's a major grade difference between the two sides of the street.
I hate rushed deliveries so I'm just hoping for the best.
As for the sidewalks and the new street furniture, it looks great! Can't wait to see it during summer and spring, especially in a few years when the trees and other plants are fully grown. I really hope the city keeps it well maintained!
