Meadowlark Road has its challenges with LRT construction. I think though, that much of this will be done by this fall.

I still don't know for sure about the existence of crossing gates at the Anthony Henday exit on 87th Ave. I'm hoping they end up installed to prevent right hand turns on red.
There is a set of gates at the Lewis Farms park and ride where it crosses the north/south tracks.
That whole stretch of track from the Lewis Farms stop to Aldergrove should really be fenced, with crossing gates at to 189st to accommodate a 70 kmh speed.

I think the city has already said they have no plans to install crossing arms on Henday/87 Ave.
I live closeby and no crossing arms there will be a big mistake. It’s one of the main access points to our city’s largest tourist attraction (WEM), and I foresee a lot of accidents with people unfamiliar with our LRT system.

I'm not hearing anything definitive from people in the know. The change order would be about $500k-1,000,000. A lot of people involved want them.
I think they're wasting the money on the gates at the OMF.

I think there should be train lights at these intersections.

The at grade crossing there is a huge preventable blunder. Should not be designing at-grade LRT crossings on a highway off-ramp. As others have pointed out, at the very least they should be installing crossing arms here.

It's far better than the Whitemud crossing on the VLSE. The exit ramp looks like it'll be designed to function as a through-fare rather than a true right turn. Hopefully it's intuitive that you can't turn right on red here.
Still, I'd prefer crossing gates and much faster trams.

Wait what?! Power washing the stations? Is this pic from last year or is it recent?

It's an old photo. The orange ticket validators are on the platform and those were removed in January.

Q4 Report was released and I guess HRC is having shipping issues:
“Manufacturing, static testing and shipping activities continue in South Korea. The delivery of Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) continues in Q4 but we’re experiencing delay due to transport issues.”
