"Induced demand" also applies for transit infrastructure!
I think we need way more transit infrastructure but we also need a decent suburban freeway network. When you have neither it just sucks for everyone.

Was out on my ride, and used the new MUP along the east side. That was quite a nice addition and one I am seeing added along most major through fares. Maskekosik Trail to 199st is great to use to get out of town.

So an extra lane EACH way AND extra width for bike lanes?

The bike lane will have its own separate bridge just north of the main bridge. Will be good for having less noise and chance of getting clipped by flying debris

I wonder how the south bus lane from Whitenud/53 Avenue is doing.

The light sequence at Terwillegar and Rabbit Hill Road seems off. The median usually fills with those travelling from Terwillegar SB to Rabbit Hill EB, but the lights for those travelling EB on Rabbit Hill turn green on the west side of the Terwillegar before the ones on the east side.

Same issues with the split portions of Manning Drive. They should've just amalgamated the two sides like St Albert did with St Albert Trail. I doubt Manning Drive is ever going to be turned into the freeway, Terwillegar Freeway is likely not going to happen until 2055 minimum if ever.
Too bad left turns from a two way to a one way on a red aren't permitted here like in BC (after coming to a complete stop, when safe to do so, unless signs or signals prohibit it).

Very, very long overdue. That MUP on the north side of the Whitemud/Rainbow Valley Bridge had to be one of the sketchiest MUPs around over the last few years. Horrible concrete condition, always covered in debris, metres away from cars going 90+...

Slowly coming along. I am sure this weather is helping.

I really hope they reconsider the Terwillegar/AHD drive interchange for Phase 3. Just have something similar to the SPR/100 Ave/AHD interchange, the earthworks are already roughed-in for it and it saves everyone a lot of pain down the road.
Have a dedicated pedestrian crossing at 156 St instead, like with 142 St over WMD. Can't believe the Province isn't up in arms over the proposed design, they almost killed VLW over the AHD crossing as well.

I believe was initially proposed when they were still discussing freeway or expressway option

Yah that cloverstack is closer to what the west YHT/AHD interchange looks like.
You can see how the SPR/100 Ave/AHD interchange has this weird configuration where the EB/WB lanes are pulled apart and the ramps come in on the wrong side (fast lane). It looks like Terwillegar/AHD interchange is similarly set up and it actually works better because then incoming traffic doesn't have to cross over the bus lane.
The Province is footing the entire cost of this interchange upgrade so it's really strange that they don't push back heavily against what was proposed.
