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 right away, then two green light cycles at 101 St.

Ive seen that weird timing a few times as well. Im guessing it has to do with being a terminus right now? But I have zero clue.

Were there any trains nearby? Or crews working at then crossovers?

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.
 
time will tell, MIP would have likely already procured whatever type of door they are going to use or at least factored them into the design since steel is already going up at stops

I should have also asked what time of day as well, and which track you used at 102 St.
Regardless, at most stops with traffic lights immediately ahead of the train, the operator needs to send a request for a green light. It is certainly not unheard of for trains to wait at Churchill for a variety of reasons and just wait to send the request to the traffic light controller until they are ready to depart, and that includes for reasons like wanting to use a preferred track at 102 St, or crews working on the crossovers. Given the weather it could have been something a switch not wanting to lock at Control was cycling it or a switch position indicator wasn't lit. Getting a stop signal at 100A Street happens often enough 101 St is just seems bizarre though. I don't think I've ever encountered that in my travels.

Met with Reed Clarke yesterday and he also expressed the sentiment that people don’t realize how long it’ll take to open the west LRT. The operation is still up in the air too by the sounds of it….

Did reed clarke said how long will it take ? Why operation is not finalised I believe they have to fund operations in next 4 year budget cycle from 2026 to 2030 this year?

He seemed cautious with words likely because there’s big legal stuff getting sorted with TransEd. That’s my guess at least.
 
Crappy photo, but intersection lights along 156st being installed.
