Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

[archited]

Simply put, the planning for a complete Valley Line: SouthEast to West -- Millwoods to WEM (and beyond). Logistics led to the stopping point for a phased development and 102nd Street/102nd Ave. was the most logical point for that interconnection.

Drove sections of this line. The section along 156st was looking real slow in the spring but now the amount of work has really picked up. Crews were still out on Sat pouring concrete on the west side. Pushing to get that piece done and open.

Ridership up to around 9900 per day this month.

Probably higher for weekday ridership, and lower for weekend, so we're probably 10000+ at least minimum on weekday riders.

Roughly 8,016 trips the month of September (estimated 318 per weekday, 210 Saturdays, 136 Sundays and Labour Day). 37 passengers on average. Simple math says 11,766 per weekday, 7,770 per Saturday, 5,032 per Sunday and holiday.

We did lose a full day of service south of Bonnie Doon because of that derailment at the Whitemud.

102 Ave Evaluation

Definitely could use some signal timing upgrades. Glad to see that identified. Crazy that bikes are stopping at 102st when there’s almost never traffic. Or the wait times at 99st by the citadel…brutal as a pedestrian. No wonder people just cross the tracks. Standing around for 90 seconds with no train or vehicles crossing is stupid ahha

I was once biking behind Michael Janz and saw him run a few reds on 102nd ave lol

Agree that the timing doesn't make sense, hope it's rectified.

99 St is the worst. I sometime have time to complete a 311 request waiting for the light to turn green.

If anyone wants to express support for more TOD around the west line, there’s a survey open for engagement about 156st and Stony Plain Road.

Some locals are attempting to organize against any sort of densification above townhomes, so comments in supportive of density along this route (which has 4 LRT stops), could be helpful to have.

SPR is run-down! Time for some changes.

They’re working hard on 156st west side sidewalks. Probably giving it a final push the next few days before the winter weather finally sets in.

Grateful for the warm fall. Hopefully helps this project not fall too far behind.

Great work. With a little luck, Marigold could start with the median and track next spring.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they continue the concrete work under hoarding over the winter

One thing I'm grateful for is that we started building the Valley Line before construction costs started increasing significantly. Calgary, Hamilton and other cities are facing higher costs.
