Hi guys, I know I’m a few months late here but figured I would show a few pictures from the yellowhead project I was a part of last summer. From the river to 66st. Will be doing east bound starting in May.

Looks like I'll be taking a different way home from work in May. That's going to bottleneck big time.
And when they start the overpass at 66 St, forget about it! To work and home will have to be different routes.

Although when are they going to start the overpass construction?

Looks like 2024-2025 is what the city site is saying.

Looks like a modified option 2 is what has been chosen. The service road on the north side between 107 ST and 126 ST will be 2 way and the eastbound ramp off St. Albert Trail will not merge until after the lights at the 127 ST interchange.

The city shared this on Facebook, and I made the mistake of looking at the comments... Both comments are criticizing this project, because the city should "get rid of the traffic lights." What do they think this whole thing is for? Adding more traffic lights??

NEVER, I repeat, NEVER look at the comments section on Facebook, EVER! It's all disappointment and frustration. Also, if it were up to me, I'd do the same as I always to on Cities Skylines: create a permanent gridlock to force residents to bike, walk and take rail transit, so they should just consider themselves lucky that I'm not in charge of deciding what is done with Edmonton's roads.

Some people are never happy. People complained when West Edmonton Mall opened during the 1980's, as an example how far back this complaining goes. Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde, these people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Good point. Speaking of old complaints: Back in the late 1800s, many residents of Edmonton signed a petition demanding that the downriver North West Mounted Police fort - Fort Saskatchewan - be moved upriver to the area where the UofA's north campus now sits. Fort Saskatchewan was just too far away for their liking!

Honestly my strat is just to make transit much more efficient to get to the places where people wanna go lol
