Construction Updates​

AREA 1 - Drainage Works on 102 Avenue between 102 Street and 107 Street
Update #2 – October 27, 2025 – This work is expected to begin the week of November 3. At which time, 102 Avenue will be permanently reconfigured to one lane of eastbound traffic only between 107 Street and 102 Street.

Update #1 – October 8, 2025 - This work has been rescheduled to begin at the end of October, once the 102 Avenue Bike Lane has been temporarily relocated to 103 Avenue.

On or around October 1, 2025, Marigold crews will begin drainage works on 102 Avenue between 102 Street and 107 Street.

To accommodate this work, traffic on 102 Avenue between 103 Street and 107 Street will be shifted away from the worksite and one lane of eastbound traffic will be maintained. This eastbound reconfiguration is permanent. Traffic between 102 Street and 103 Street will be banned.

Pedestrian access will mainly be maintained, but detours will be in place. Please follow Project wayfinding signage.

The bike lane on 102 Avenue between 103 Street and Railtown Park (110 Street) will be temporarily relocated to 103 Avenue until the end of 2027. The public will be notified prior to this relocation.

Construction will be performed during daytime hours (7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday). Drainage work is expected to last three months; however, there will be configuration changes as construction progresses. The public will be notified ahead of these changes.

Now this is just anecdotal, but when I passed by the Davies park n ride today the Northeast lot was fairly full and there were more cars in the southwest lot. It's definitely taking longer but I think more and more people are discovering it's very easy to do a park n ride there.

If you live in the SE, it makes a ton of sense to just drive to Davies and avoid bridge gridlock if you're commuting to or from downtown.
 
Not going to lie, i'm starting to get pretty excited about this line opening and how different a feel it will be once done.

It's going to be super convenient to pop over to 124st.

That said, going to have to grin and bear it along 102ave for the next year or two.

Except that 124th street stop is now 123/122 street, not to be confused with the 120th street stop that’s barely 2 train lengths away ahha.

Very interested to see if 104th ave feels brutally slow with all the stops or if it’s busy and urban enough to feel natural.

124th needs a hotel now asap. Alt on SPR aldritt land please 🙏

how many valley line west trains are here now ? Are they on display somewhere?

Probably just the one so far.
Usually 1 vehicle of a new type is delivered ahead of time for initial testing and commissioning before the balance starts arriving.

Then there's whether there's space to store the cars. Building A doesn't have much capacity to store many extra LRV's, which likely means Building B needs to completed enough before too many or possibly any more cars arrive.
When the first Bombardier car arrived it sat cocooned outside at Building A in a structure made from scaffolding covered with tarps and plastic sheets until the building was ready.
The first car arrived in July 2018, the second in August 2019. The third and fourth cars and subsequent cars came pretty quick after that. By November 2019 the first car was still stored outside and we suspect the other cars that had been delivered may have been stored off site.
