Holy that Avonmore station / landscaping looks good!

Agreed. Lovely. Very urban

There's some sort of decorative mosaic work going on at Avonmore near the intersection of Argyll and 83 St. I talked to the lady in charge, apparently it's part of the public art as well?

The design is like the Davies station glass, a long sinuous colourful piece. It was getting a lot of attention from passers-by.

It looked like only 1/5 or so has been installed when I swung by the other day. Just looking at the area, I imagine by July it could be opened, but I haven't been following actual updates very closely. Would be surprised to see it by the end of June though. Prove me wrong, TransEd!

I think by July/Aug they will still be working on both banks of the river I hope the people crossing could be open by early Fall, time will tell...

-The SUP suspended under the bridge will be ready relatively soon but not able to be opened to the public until a lot of the work at both ends is completed. Such as the river berms and restoration of the parks, removal of construction laydown yard, geotechnical, reforestation, constructing the trail system, etc. The timing of everything has its challenges. They are still stating a late summer/ fall timeline (but I sure hope we can use the SUP bridge sooner than "passenger ready day" if it gets down to that.

I know this doesn’t directly have to do with the valley line but in other exciting ETS news, I saw some card readers at McK/Bel station. They have tiny little ETS blue shelters on them. Btw I’m a recovered lingerer who decided to just make an account so that’s why you’ve never seen me.

A slightly different angle: this is from the bottom of the ravine looking up. There's work being done to widen 83 St a bit?



The mosaic. It kinda looks like psychedelic snakeskin.



Someday there'll be water flowing through here again.

 

[Kaizen]

Great shots.
No widening to 83rd, besides the allowance for the right turn lane(west) which is essentially complete but just not yet fully open due to the remaining bank stabilization around there.
I can't wait for the day they daylight this area of Millcreek, will it ever happen?

83 St and 86 Ave this evening

 

[IanO]

That looks proper.

The grass was put in at the Bonnie Doon stop yesterday. It was great timing given the rain that came in that night!
