This is about maximizing your billion+ dollar investment, and personally, I would be happy to write to ministers (and organize others to do the same) about withholding future transit funding from Edmonton projects if this is the way you're going to continue planning them.

Yes, this is a threat.

There are plenty of other cities in Canada in transit crisis (including mine) that need infrastructure money now.

I, and other Edmontonians, would also be very happy to write to Ministers (and organize others to do the same) about withholding future transit funding from Greater Vancouver transit projects, given the recent bus strike and potential escalation.

There are other cities in Canada (including Edmonton) that could use the money for additional transit service, while Vancouver plays Dare games by withholding it.
 
Assuming substation. Hopefully pretty.

They usually are decent and blend in well. The ones on the SE line are good enough imo, and definitely better than the capital line ones.
 
Even better, a substation integrated into a small development like in other cities. Part of an actual building that would contribute to activating that corner.

Transit Service Changes | City of Edmonton

Five times each year, ETS reviews customer feedback, schedules, service levels and routes to ensure we’re providing the right amount of service at the right time.

This is it. 5th of February and route 73 is no more with service hours and resources being redistributed around the network, permanent 5-minute frequency for the Valley Line, and Arc fully opens to seniors!

Edit: Sorry, 3rd of February and route 73 A/B close. 5th of February peak service frequency picks up to 5 minutes.

Public transit systems work in much more demanding places all over the world; how is this system not more robust? Granted, some parts of the system probably experience far more messed use per/capita/day, but still, these should be drawing from places facing those kinds of demands.

I never really understood the use of automatic doors on those small shelters though. You could still provide accessible access for 1 or 2 on each end to ensure safe use for those with those requirements, but to put them on all of them seems like a poor choice.
