Seeing how Edmonton barely gets mentioned in any urbanist YouTube videos, I always wonder if Edmonton is actually overlooked or if we are just in an echo chamber and hyping ourselves too much on this forum.

Lol...If you really think like this...I honestly have no words. I think you are taking this WAY too seriously and need to take a break from any urbanist media and movement for the sake of your mental health if you actually reacted like this. It almost feels like you are getting radicalized by...

archited whatever you are having I would like some as well

It honestly doesn't feel slow at all when you ride it. It has quick acceleration and does keep up with traffic beside it

I don't think I understand what you meant. The station is literally in an open space. If there is an evacuation due to things like a fire or explosion, people can just run away from it very easily to either end of the station to safety. Even if you get trapped from both ends of the station, you...

I saw 3 instances where the wheelchairs got stuck, thats why i made that comment

After riding it again and calming down from the hype, I think I still prefer the high floor LRT overall. High floor trains are a bit faster as its completely grade separated. Train quality wise once you ignore the cleanliness of the trains, they both are very close, the high floor lrt is more...

I think they pulled it off surprisingly after my first ride

I thought the trains stopping at the lights would have bothered me more than I thought. But the trains have nice acceleration and feels appropriate in speed (not too fast but also not too slow). The doors feel aggressive though and close fast when ur trying to wait for ppl to get off the train...

This take is a bit extreme...a $100 gift card from the city's budget is probably worth as much or even less than a penny and would probably come from the city's promotional budget. promotion is not propaganda.

Let's wait and see how many daily riders there are first once the hype dies down before talking about less than 5 min frequencies and extending the trains. Too early to tell if there is be a need for higher capacity right now

why don't they put some seats near the rink in the middle for these winter classic games, theres so much empty space.

Currently in person at the public inquiry at city hall during the opposition hearing. Most ppl I saw here were probably 50 or retired. I am the only "young" person here right now. First time attending a council meeting after coming from uni. It's an interesting experience. I highly encourage...

All this person is concerned about is how the zoning change could potentially cast more shadows on her house and her garden from a redevelopment next door... including 4 photos to explain how 💀💀💀.

This complaint becomes more and more insane and deluded as I read it through. 💀

Noooo! Lets keep our precious Edmonton to ourselves and lay low. They can all go to Calgary. Let us be known as Deadmonton. 👀

🤞

^^ People would always complain, its kinda expected
