But even along parts where there are no intersections it still is just crawling along. Are they maybe working out things still or? It just seems crazy it’s that slow.

Perhaps they're still working out bugs.

I don't think so. Single vehicle priority.
This explains it.
46 minutes for 10km or 13km/hr for $3.7 billion.

The nice thing about Edmonton's Valley Line LRT is that the train usually gets signal priority. For the Finch line, I wonder if they could use jersey-median style curbs along some segments of the line.

A national housing commission developed a set of actions and targets that cities must meet to receive federal housing accelerator money and I think the federal government (and/or provincial) needs to also set some standards for lrt money. Can't have a system costing billions with the kind of travel time results were seeing in Toronto.
If we're not prioritizing public transportation on there routes (which seems like mostly a Canada/US issue), it's never going to have the kind of outcomes desired.

This seems very interesting. Maybe hoping to speed up track work next year?

^ Wonder if the real purpose is to improve form tolerance? Can't really see it being that much faster since most of the time in laying track bed is rod busting vs setting forms, no?

I feel like tolerance would be better if they did everything normally, as it would be easier for this machine to have small things out of alignment vs setting forms? Never seen something like this used before

Reopening of 104 Avenue between 121 Street and 105 Street
On April 14, Marigold reduced traffic on 104 Avenue to a single lane in either direction, and closed several accesses on the south side of the road, as part of the accelerated roadwork associated with the Valley Line West LRT. On December 9, 2025, 104 Avenue between 121 Street and 105 Street reopened to two lanes in either direction. All access closures on the south side of 104 Avenue also reopened.
What you can expect:
• East/west traffic on 104 Avenue is open to two lanes of traffic in either direction.
• North/south access across 104 Avenue is maintained at 121 Street, 118 Street, 116 Street, 114 Street, 112 Street, 109 Street, and 105 Street.
• Other cross streets have reopened to right in/right out access.
• Most left turn movements are maintained at 121 Street, 118 Street, 116 Street, 114 Street, 112 Street, 109 Street, 107 Street, and 105 Street.
• Pedestrian access is open throughout the area.
• Bike access across and adjacent to 104 Avenue is maintained.
While the majority of the roadwork is complete and traffic along 104 Avenue has reopened, construction in the area will be ongoing until completion. The public will be notified ahead of further disruptions. For detailed information of what this area will look like in its final configuration, check out the City of Edmonton’s Valley Line West LRT Booklet.
