Looks like the Gantry Crane is almost ready to roll.

They haven't started shifting the lanes on 104 Ave over yet, but it looks like they're getting close to doing that. I saw a pavement remover parked nearby, and some new asphalt presumably covering line markings.

They have west of 116st

Good to know, thanks. That must be recent then, because when I got to 116 and started walking north at around 5, it was still the same as it was this morning.

Didn't have my camera on me but the LRT construction looked impressive from the WEM World Waterpark zipline.

The borderline obsession with the word "gantry" on this thread gives me life

Someone smarter than me explain - are these sidewalk removals really going to take until August? 4.5 months to remove the north side of 4 blocks of sidewalk?

^ I wonder if drainage works and other utilities are included in the construction.

That's my guess as well.

Love the use of red bricks on 107 Street.

What a difference it would make if instead of the tall frosted glass on that building we could've had flowerbeds ;(
Streetscape looks great tho. One thing no one can complain about in the VL LRT in general is the streetscaping.

Valley Line streetscaping is probably the best in the country for any street-running LRT. I'll fight any Ontarian that says otherwise

Traffic is going to be quite bad during rush hour here

Most of the Valley Line streetscaping is really good. 102 Avenue however is cold and lifeless. Not appealing at all.
