Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

I'm guessing there could be more LRT construction on 102 Avenue next spring, probably starting at 105-107 Street. If the Oilers have an extended run in the Stanley Cup playoffs, 103-104 Street could be more difficult for construction.

More importantly there still needs to be engineering design work to be completed to integrate with the existing line as per the video.

I think that’s moreso relating to the system integration, not construction, so it shouldn’t impede their construction timeline
 
Personally think the 104 ave section should’ve been elevated in some sections, but again that’s purely for aesthetic factors rather than functional. The view on the train there would’ve been a great way of seeing downtown.

At the end of the day I’m happy that this is at least getting built instead of being stuck in a Green line boondoggle.
 
It can be difficult to determine the route for an LRT line, especially in an area that’s highly developed. Rail right-of-ways are common, with respect to Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver.

I think Edmonton has made some good decisions keeping the LRT underground in.central areas of the city. Edmonton could improve on past decisions like 114 Street/University Avenue, but the elevated sections over Argyll and WEM will save a lot of time in traffic.
