The Harper government could have codified effective laws to remove violent people from polite society, but they didn't. Blaming the current limp-wristed government isn't very productive. Obviously they're insane, but so was the last CPC government when it came to violent crime.

Didn’t they at least have mandatory minimums? Honestly I don’t care for the constitutionality of that sort of thing. Harsher criminal sentencing might be the one policy in this country that deserves the NWC, and I don’t understand why people freaked out so much when Poilievre proposed it during the election campaign.
 
Is there still any moderator from this forum versus the wider site? Before I joined, I lurked and recall more local moderation (people from the edmonton forum) where posts where moved en masse etc when folks veered off topic (which tends to happen on any forum).
 
Well, I for one am going back on topic.

I've noticed that since 104 Ave was fully reopened, many folks who are turning from 104 Ave WB to 112 St SB are making U-turns onto 104 Ave EB just to go to the Tim Horton's drive-thru. Isn't that against the law, or am I out to lunch?

The new light timing along 104ave is horrendous and it literally takes 10-15 minutes to go from 124st-109st with light traffic.

As I was told after my 3rd time complaining about the 156st and 95ave intersection, and sending multiple videos of 3 minute cycles with less than 5 cars going through:

“Traffic signal design is done by a professional engineer and includes best practices to achieve optimum traffic flow while maintaining the highest safety possible safety standards.

Signal timing is part of an engineered design that is approved by the city and cycle lengths are designed in coordination with opposing intersection timing.”

So it seems like they’re super open to feedback…

How soon before a car gets hit by an LRT train?
 
The only crossing gates on the Valley Line will be at the Lewis Farms OMF parking lot. They're still staying away from crossing gates at the Henday exit at 87 Ave.

They are putting gates on OMF? I thought it was completely gate free? (Not that im complaining because it means they might add more in the future)

Just for the parking lot crossing where the trains will enter/exit the OMF. South of the big T.

Yeah, I’m hoping that puts us on a slippery slope to add gates at all crossings west of WEM Station and south of Davies Station, and hopefully improve speeds. The current council seems resistant to the idea though.

Some of the crossings I don't think need crossing gates due to the very low volume of traffic that will be at some areas meanwhile other intersections that are major intersections should get the gates

The thing with gates is it brings full signal priority, so reducing delays, even with low traffic volumes it can still slow down trains.
 
I'm guessing that the Marigold crew will be clearing snow from some of the track beds this week, and possibly some tarp covers for track bed prep.
