Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

CoE communications team: "If we make it look nice and cartoony, maybe they won't remember all the construction issues and delays"

I also think they hope it will distract us so we don't notice no dates are listed anywhere here. This is the informational equivalent of junk food.

At this point I'm just relieved to see forward progress, without a new crisis popping up.

TransEd, not CoE

Hopefully there won't be a car hit by two trains.

I'd like to see the amount of time the LRT takes, end-to-end.

A quarter pounder meal from McD’s leaves me a lot more satisfied than the make-believe TransEd continues to peddle us.

At least if they declared how long each of these last steps would take I'd be somewhat ok with their timeless timeline. But of course that would be way to revealing.

I was downtown today, and the trains were running at 5 minute frequencies! At one point, I could see two trains meeting at the Quarters stop, while a westbound was at Churchill and another was at 102 Street! It was really refreshing to see the line so busy. Here is a video showing some action downtown this afternoon:

If memory serves, TransEd stepped up Demonstration Testing around March 1.

Drove along the 66 Street leg of the Valley Line. It looks like trains were parked at Mill Woods, Millbourne and Davies Stations, getting ready for testing.

Trains are back and forth along the whole line for almost a whole.month now.

Signals were messed up at 36A Ave this morning. There was a train either side of the intersection, one in the station at 38 Ave and one just cresting the hill north of 34 Ave. Looked like the right turn signal was stuck and was displaying a green and amber signal at the same time. Traffic tech took the system down which resulted in flashing reds all directions. Not sure how long it was messed up but I didn't see a train moving my whole drive to work this morning.

Residents warn city that red light timing at south LRT intersection needs changes

Residents living near the new south Valley Line LRT want the city to change the way signal lights work to improve safety for pedestrians and motorists.

I've seen a cop in the middle of that intersection because they got west of the tracks but the light changed before they could clear the intersection. I try and avoid driving west through there if I can l.

Line will open Apr 4.

Amateur hour, again?
