No, it was indeed the date at the bottom - the only date I could find - I wish the updates were actually dated in that case.

Trucks were parked on the tracks at Muttart Station today. They also were doing some work on the north side of the Tawatina Bridge with a... picker/winch? Crane? Not exactly sure but there were several boats down on the water along the bank. Tons of people out and about using the bridge though even on a Monday afternoon.

Heavy presence from Winspear west as well today. Pulling cables as well. Also a crane at the west terminus

I estimate about 3.2 km between Strathearn and 102 Street Stations. If the original plan was to do Valley Line work south of Whitemud on weekends, I'm guessing that service could commence in September with downtown closures on weekends or after hours to complete any remaining work.

Original plan was south of Whitemud once the line opened, as I mentioned last week in a post as well.
Edmonton’s Valley Line LRT needs to replace around 140 km of signal cable, no opening date set
TransEd announced more repairs are needed to the Valley Line LRT — new cables — further delaying the train.

“Ultimately, we intend to upgrade them all, however the upgrades in the south are planned for after the line opens,” Lindskoog said. “One way is to only make the changes during the short late-night maintenance period when trains are not running. Obviously, this would take time. That is why we are working quickly now during the independent certification period to upgrade as many cables as possible.”

^Why did TransEd say that cable installation south of the Whitemud was complete, with trains being tested?

“Capturing the city’s night life”
That’s feels too real. Cause this captures nothing.
“Night life” of a low rise apartment, dental office, plastic surgery clinic, loblaws, the big hitter Blaze pizza? Like what haha.

Night life of the giant parking lots.

Hopefully the Brewery District will be better than what they have now.
As for the LRT stop, I think they need to get rid those trees that are blocking the intersections.

I took a look at the 2019 VLW booklet from the city of Edmonton and it shows both intersections as right in-right out only on Page 35.
So the trees might be their to stay.

this is edmonton - those trees won't be big enough to block the intersection when they're put in and they won't survive long enough to get big enough to block the intersection.
