    Wellington Bridge Replacement

    It looks like that simple span is going to be wide enough for an 8-lane expressway.

    Capital Line LRT

    The "Hurry up... are we there yet" crowd is not going to appreciate this much. But the LRT with a central airport connection and multi-station stops along a line stretching to downtown would be the ideal IMHO. The regularity of service could not be denied; the capacity to handle luggage could...

    Blatchford

    As Dean Martin once sang, "memories are made of this". I spent quite a bit of time at the Laubman's during high school years and Group Captain Don took an outsized interest in my school life and academic standing. From the sports angle he also suggested that I should take basketball over...

    Blatchford

    I look at Laubman Street in Griesbach and boy does that bring back memories. Captain Don Laubman was Base Commander at 3-wing Air Force Base in '64-'65 and '65-'66, Zweibrücken, Deutschland; I was best friends with his son Rob during our coincidental stay there and I dated his daughter, Leslie...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I have a suspicion that the Misericordia connector will be the best of the entire line... I can hardly wait for it to be developed.

    ^ Count me in as well. It is better than looking at winter-scarred plots because of road salt applications or grass that can't deal with extremes in urban environments. Vacuum cleaner = one and done.

    Capital Line LRT

    ^^ I am particularly interested and focused on a Downtown-to-Old Strath Gondola employing modern advances that would improve Whyte Avenue viability. I would also like to see the Radial Railway extended along the historic route of Mill Creek connecting Old Strath to both Muttart and the Power...

    Capital Line LRT

    Incidentally, the River Cree Resort and Casino in Edmonton offers a complimentary shuttle service to and from the Edmonton International Airport (YEG). The resort is located about 20 minutes from the airport. For schedules and to confirm the shuttle service, guests are advised to contact the...

    Yippee-Ki-Yay Cowboys -- you have quite a number of strays in your herd. They are ruining the blood-line.

    Capital Line LRT

    ^ Oh I am with you -- VLW will in my opinion be the greatest boon to LRT ridership but I think that it will only minimally impact airport traffic to downtown. Most of WEM's "tourism" comes from Edmonton's Greater Hinterland (study after study has reaffirmed that fact -- it is almost a...

    Downtown Crime

    ^ I think that SF could offer several points of interest to Edmonton vis a vis the unhoused, drug use, retail recovery, and tourism -- all in broad strokes of course since the two are very different cities.
