Permanent lights and streetlights won’t come on until TPSS are energized

This is why I'm hearing a tunnel is now more likely than a massive bridge (cheaper, too).

Are those rumblings from the Metro Line team?

I feel like that bridge doesn’t get the love it deserves, it’s beautiful!

Question, given the mess on 104 Ave and now 102, why can we forgo the 102 to 103ave bike lane shift and double down on 100ave that's already there and but two hole blocks of a detour and then pop up?
Seems like a much better idea and even the cyclist groups are saying 103ave is going to be unsafe.
?!?!?!?

As Jasper Ave work wraps up right away for the year, I think that will be the best bet for vehicle traffic east/west - vehicle traffic has been prioritized for Jasper Ave but there will also be 99,100, 103, 104 Ave.
When people drive dt for Oilers games, as an example, many choose to park a little further away to avoid the congestion (and cost) that results with so many cars in a smaller area with traffic lights on every block. It's a recipe for gridlock. I went to a 1,000 person event a few weeks ago at River Cree and it took 20 minutes just to move a few hundred meters to get out of the parking lot.
I'd love to see more people plan to take transit or park further away and walk 10 to 15 minutes then have to drive to the closest available spot to the arena (save that for people with less ability to walk further).
