The City of Edmonton will be hosting an upcoming information session to showcase the final updated designs for the first phase of the Metro Line Northwest Extension Project. Set to connect NAIT to the Blatchford Redevelopment site, the initial part of the extension will bring passengers up to the CN rail tracks, while phase two will extend the line significantly to the NW all the way to Campbell Road.

The session will attended by city and transit planners, and will be an excellent opportunity for the public to learn about the project and its scope, and to have their questions or concerned heard by officials.
