Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

[TAS]

Does anyone know why no trees were planted along the finished lrt section on 102 Avenue between 96 and 102 street? For instance, some trees in front of the library near the bike lanes and benches would have been so nice. Trees all around the library are needed and there's nothing. Overall, this section of the lrt lacks greenery and isn't very attractive.

I wonder if the trees would have received much sunlight, particularly between 100 and 102 Street. I wonder if flower pots might work instead.

Looking at some of the piers by Davies Station, it looks like a half dozen are patched up (like Measles), particularly at the top inside. Also,, looks like some digging around the piers near Coronet Road.

No trees are likely from them being anti-borist.

Backing out of Gerry Wright



Waiting for EPS and the Pilot Truck escorts to get setup and the time to hit 0000hrs - likely when their permit for the oversized load commenced


This is the ramp they were using to unload the cars downtown



1007 is loaded up tonight so if anyone is interested head to Gerry Wright around 0000hrs to catch the departure. Probably 0100 - 0200 for the unload downtown.

To "complete" the repairs? Right? RIGHT??

Somebody's happy about the LRT trains being moved.

My take on the lack of trees in front of Milner (at least) is perhaps due to the Library Parkade and pedway directly underneath that area. Sunlight in front of the library wouldn't be too much of an issue, but possible depth of soil might be.

I’m sure this entrance could be close to opening, especially with a hockey game tomorrow night:

Looks like they delivered on of the trains downtown last night

Patch work on piers near tawatina

Edit: I think patch work is incorrect, I’m thinking more likely testing

That reddit thread has a few people that have worked on the project chiming in. Seems like quite the dumpster fire. We've seen some of it in person down here in Millwoods, but WOW!

I wonder how many piers are going to have to be torn down.
