Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

It will hurt westbound traffic at the drive through. I think, though, that there could be more pedestrian traffic in the area.

 

[Barnaby]

I expect people to walk more along 104 Ave in general. It should be more pleasant than before.

 

[Gronk!]

If people really want to go to Tim Hortons that badly, they could access this location going E/B on 104 Ave or going N/B on 111 St. Nonetheless, there are a lot of MacEwan students and staff who will still patronize it.

 

[Yeggy]

This threat has become do canadian. Bitching about the state of Tim Hortons.

People will adapt pretty quickly to using the left hand turn on 112 st and accessing tim Horton's via 103 ave. Google and Apple maps will figure it out asap and it's not much of a detour. I doubt it deters 1% of patrons, people be needing their (terrible) coffee.

Yes, there is a grid street system here, with more than one way to access things. It will become harder, but not impossible and people (or their GPS) will figure it out.

No the west bound platform is a block away the east bound platform is not and will block left hand turns going forward The point I was making is will that affect drive through traffic at Tim’s a point that seems to be lost on certain people.

Oh now I see what you meant. Thought you were saying it was further away, my bad

SPR drainage construction.

I really hope that they pound out the 102-107st stuff this summer and just get er' done. Curious to see how the process goes for Alex Decoteau's stop, but it will be a very key element for the future development potential in the area.

 

[Barnaby]

^ Getting the Warehouse district streets and sidewalks wrapped up in 2025 would go a long way to speed up development around the park.

102nd Ave will no longer feel like a deadzone once the Westrich and Autograph apartments are built. I'm wondering if the Fountain Tire is going to stop parking on the sidewalk, though. That is going to become a problem.

 

[IanO]

^they actually have an agreement with the COE to park there and shift the 'sidewalk' along the north edge of their building. Actually.

 

[Barnaby]

They'll have to stop angle parking then I guess?
