Mama Mia, that's a lot of road! And to think, that humble little lrt will have more capacity! Very excited for it to open

The steel at the miz is gone… wonder if it was QC issue or? Seems quite odd usually lots of checks before sent to site.

Maybe dimension issue on the as built side of things? So built according to design drawings but when they got out there something was off?

I wonder if having the escalator cantilevered like that is safe.

94ave, 156st TOD progress.

156st and 95ave intersection has rails in, red sidewalks poured, final curbs being done. Likely open in the next week or 2?

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your patience as we gathered further information about the upcoming 102 Avenue bike lane relocation in downtown for Valley Line West construction.
In order for LRT construction to occur on 102 Avenue, the 102 Avenue bike lanes, from 103 Street to Railtown Park Trail (110 Street), will need to be temporarily relocated to 103 Avenue. Bike lane installation on 103 Avenue is anticipated to begin on/around October 8, 2025. Installation is expected to take approximately three weeks. Once installation is complete, the 102 Avenue bike lanes will close and the 103 Avenue bike lanes will open. Please refer to the construction notice from Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) for more information and maps.

• Details:
  • The 103 Avenue bike lanes are anticipated to be in place until the end of 2027.
  • The relocated bike lanes will connect to the existing bike network and will include wayfinding signage, bike signals, medians and pavement markings.
  • To connect to the 103 Avenue bike lanes, cyclists will be able to use the existing north-south bike infrastructure along Railtown Park Trail (110 Street), 106 Street and 103 Street.
  • As part of Valley Line West, new permanent bike lanes will be built on 102 Avenue.

The City and MIP appreciate the patience of cyclists and others who will have to shift their route from 102 Avenue to 103 Avenue during Valley Line West construction in downtown.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact LRTprojects@edmonton.ca

Sincerely,
Valley Line West Communications and External Relations Team

I wonder if 103 Avenue might be a better road for bikes, given the presence of the 104 Street Market and the parks on 105-107 Street. This would free up an extra lane for 102 Avenue and pedestrian markets.

I would agree with you if the bike line didn't need to be on 102 Ave going west through Wikhwentowin, Glenora and beyond.
