    Misc. Transportation Projects

    From Councillor Parmar's Facebook page: So many people have asked me about upgrading 215 Street. It’s happening! 215 will be temporarily closed to accommodate construction between March 31st, 2026 and February 27th, 2027. Timelines can shift. Brookfield will be responsible for the blue stretch...

    Yeah, I also found that this works. I guess it's not just a me issue, then, LOL.

    SkyriseEdmonton (Site & Forum Discussions and Issues)

    For some reason, all images are showing up as broken for me, I've tried different browsers. Also a problem on the mobile site (on data and Wifi). Any insights?

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    There are a few MUPs very close to a road that this happens to, as well. This year has been bad for windrows blocking storm drains - there are lots of flooded residential roads/sidewalks that are pretty well impassable at this point.

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    My 311 app has been getting a workout over these last few days as someone who walks/runs often in my neighbourhood. So many houses that have obviously not picked up a shovel all winter (as evidenced by their driveways) and I'm pretty over not being able to walk on the sidewalk safely.

    William Hawrelak Park Rehabilitation

    Meh, it's pretty easy to get up to the speed limit (20kmh) on a road bike and even then, the narrower road should discourage motorists from overtaking unsafely.

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Should be interesting to see what they come up with. It is probably not popular as those roads have been under construction for at least the last 2 years due to the sewer replacement, but lots of those stretches can really use a complete reconstruction as the surface is crumbling, and the...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Not sure how I missed the earlier public engagement, but it looks like portions 106 St south of 51 Ave (where there are painted bike lanes) will be included in the Towards 40 program this year...

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    I think that some small procedural measures, like simply clearing windrows further inwards onto the grass, or at least further away from the walking surface can help out a lot in some areas. That way the windrows can melt there into the soil, rather than refreezing on the surface and creating...

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    City maintained walk around my neighbourhood, with a windrow completely covering the sidewalk, a catchbasin, and curb ramp. Below is a summer street view of the same corner. Three 311 reports over the last month (some closed with 'no action required'), and still nothing done. Frustrating.

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    I wonder if it's being done by the city, or by a subcontractor to Marigold? Or perhaps nobody knows who is supposed to be doing it...

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    Still sidewalks/crossings regularly blocked by windrows and missed sections of clearing around my neighbourhood... as a daily runner and occasional bike commuter (these days, at least), the snow clearing work around my zone has been sure frustrating to deal with to say the least. And that's...

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    I'll repeat it again, but we really need a rapid-response switch to clear shared-use paths along arterial roads and heavily-used areas (eg. near LRT stations) ASAP after significant snow dumps like this. The amount of snow we got, plus drifts from the wind have made every uncleared path almost...

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    Contractor-maintained (for Capital Line LRT): vs. City-maintained, on the same stretch of pathway: Same here, contractor-maintained in the foreground, city-maintained past the "End Construction" sign. We can do things better.
