    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Hermitage Road is essentially 106 St 2.0, so this will be 106 St 3.0? Works a bit better. I wish there was a better connection to Connors Road.

    Capital Line LRT

    Summer 2028 and 2029 for Valley Line and Capital Line would be amazing.

    ATB Place - Redevelopment

    I love this a lot. Are they retaining the exterior stairwell?

    Edmonton | The Shift | 113.08m | 38s | Edgar | MCM Partnership

    When I think about Vancouver style urbanism -- high rises upon high rises because homeowners there actively block anything that threatens to destroy their precious single family neighbourhoods to the extent that they mostly elect conservative mayors and city council other than Gregor Robertson...

    Edmonton | 10123 106 Street | 24m | 7s | Westrich Pacific | Arc Studio

    I rode by this last week and was surprised anything was being developed. I was hoping for towers too, but I'd rather this than 20 more years of surface parking lot across the street from a beautiful park. Same with what looks like a substantial downsizing of The Shift. It'll build momentum...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    I’m not sure what their process is with getting newly built paths in their inventory (roster? registry? Can’t think of the right word) for snow clearing but a lot of brand new multiuse paths aren’t being cleared this year. If they were upgrades to existing sidewalks, they are being cleared.

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    A Mill Woods bound train left Churchill Stop shortly before the 102 St bound train arrived. No crew on the track. Hopefully not, a few years of this sounds painful. I'm just trying to do my part to pad the Valley Line ridership numbers.

    Capital Line LRT

    Violent crimes still take place on Skytrain, dedicated transit police and attendants can't be everywhere and those fare gates don't stop fare paying or even non fare paying offenders. Not transit specific but this is a very active topic on crime/disorder in Vancouver...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I often like to transfer to the Valley Line at Churchill to do my absurdly short hop to 102 St stop if the timing is right. This morning was bizarre, it took three green light cycles for the train to get the vertical line crossing 100 St, a brief stop at 100A St but we got the vertical line...

    LRT Safety

    We should be doing better. Low crime rates don't mean anything for actual victims and witnesses of crime.

    LRT Safety

    Not LRT related and in Calgary not Edmonton, but at the McDonald's on Memorial Dr and Edmonton Trail (our toddler didn't approve of the hipster sandwiches we got, but admittedly we got a couple of treats for ourselves while we were there), there was a very aggressive panhandler. As someone who...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Definitely feels like more can be done to make micromobility a truly viable last mile mode of transportation. It took awhile after snowmageddon but it feels mostly like cycling as usual now. I did rent a Bunch Bike from Pedego Edmonton while they were servicing my Bakfiets and, aside from the...

    Capital Line LRT

    Heavy rail train but the ~2008 delivered Canada Line trains seem to have similar sized windows. Yea it's a little dark. Interior lighting has hopefully improved like this 2019 Rotem high floor LRV...

    LRT Safety

    Some crossings like 99 St at 102 Ave are terrible, easily wait 3 minutes there. The pedestrian crossings at Strathearn aren't bad, but they still invite the temptation of non-compliance.
