You guys are over thinking it. They're just going to wait till nightshift to spray diesel on it and scrape it off with a skid steer.

Hadn’t been out West in a while. The guideway is quite impressive!

I think the Gantry crane built the first section of viaduct west of WEM station. Also, east of 136 Street, the rails were added to the rebar trackbed as the trackbeds got closer to pouring.

I'm thinking the LRT from WEM will have time savings along 87 Avenue, compared to buses.

Massive time savings! I just moved into a condo in Belmead and am looking forward to using the nearby LRT station when it opens. The WEM area is probably the most ripe area in Edmonton for TOD developments when the line is finished.

The Valley Line coming every 5 min is probably gold standard. I can't emphasize how less stressed I am as a commuter rather than driving to downtown for work and I'm sure others feel the same.

2.25m riders is 6100 people per day. Latest figures is 9300 riders per day. The bare minimum business case for the Valley Line SE was 32,000 riders per day. Currently costs us $57m/year.City underlines successes and challenges as the Valley Line LRT turns one

I just really hope we see continued increase at the Davies park'n'ride. Actually I'd love to see a business located nearby that would bring employees to the Davies area creating a constant larger usage in both directions.
