Wow, lots of indoor construction on the Miz and WEM Stations!

I am really interested to see how these stations would then connect to the hospital and WEM. And would it spur some residential/hotel additions at WEM. Interesting to see who might be the first to jump at the residential connection -- WEM or Southgate.

For now, I’m guessing outdoor walkways.

I posted this on UrbanToronto:

Seriously, I really wish we could acquire Edmonton's 7-module Flexities for this line [6].

They have 26 cars, while Line 6 has 18 cars. Those extra 8 cars should be enough for a Woodbine extension and service increase.

The Edmonton cars are 40.6m long, while the Citadis are 48.4m.

Edmonton could have a unified Hyundai-Rotem fleet on the Valley Line, while we can send our cars to Ottawa to alleviate their LRV shortage, and have a unified Legacy/Line 5/6 fleet.

Fantasy I know, but it would be nice...

The Flexities were meant for Toronto, with their blue marker lights, red door buttons, and TTC/Bombardier chime

I know what @smallspy said, but I'd still like to see the 15 [Kitchener-Waterloo] cars (7.5 double-consists) on Line 5.

I was wondering how Edmontonians would feel about this proposal?

Curious about the roads along/beneath the wem and mis stations - will they eventually be repaved once everything wraps up? It’s such an inconsistent mishmash right now.

They will.

Some work on Valley Line West:

Other observations:
(1) Many stretches have track beds poured.
(2) More traffic lights up at some intersections.
(3) Tracks being installed at the LRT east of Misericordia.

while I’m not excusing the mess- in all fairness the snow did just melt so some garbage and gravel left from underneath the snow is expected
