I think people are forgetting only HALF the roads are even done… like all of 87ave, 156st, 104th ave. They only have HALF the road finished, then still have to finish those…which they might not be all complete before snow comes… then they need to demolish and rebuild the entire other sides of every road. That’ll take another 2 summers.

0 stations are built.

102ave downtown is untouched.

No landscaping, testing, etc will start till that’s all finished. There is a ton left to do still.

I was thinking that the second half of the roads will be under construction next year. If the first half is completed, they could start with drainage in the winter.

When will they commence downtown construction on 102 Ave? Why wasn't this started last year?

In speaking to Marigold recently, they have proactively told us that there will be significant construction on 102 Avenue starting next spring. This year was the remainder of utility relocation. Beyond that they could not give specifics.

Nice to see they're getting going on the east side of the elevated guideway! I've been excitedly waiting for them to start. Thanks for the pictures!

Hopefully 2 more weeks of progress can be made before the winter stoppage on the guideway!

I need to move tf out of Icon before this spring, 102 closure for 2025 + Beaver Hills/Michael Phair construction is going to make alley access a freakin' absolutely nightmare. And sounds like the Saturday market is then going to have to run at reduced capacity, assuming they'll only have vendors from Michael Phair to 102 to accommodate access.

The market can expand north of 102 Avenue intersection (which will remain open) and is exploring other options as well, as vendor demand for next year is very strong.
 
The article below from last December had Marigold indicating that they should be finished with the Gantry system at the end of this year and then dismantle it early in 2025. Is that going to be the case or are they shutting down for this year once they build the sections over the WEM parking lot? If its the latter, what happened to not have all the overhead sections in place? I know why TransED would not post much but do we know how the progress is with the Valley Line East? Are they hitting their milestones?

The gantry cannot run during the winter (last year was the same).

Not sure if snow or a certain degree below 0 is what determines the shut down exactly, but that’s what marigold has said previously.
