    ETS Bus and General Transit Improvements

    If I remember correctly, this is the service change with the additional 500 hours mandated by council, so you also see significant improvements to off-peak service on cross-town routes 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56.

    I do like the 2x1 seating arrangement in some of the St. Louis cars. It's a great way to increase standing and overall capacity. City staff have said in several reports that the Capital line was nearing capacity during peak periods between South Campus and the University.

    LRT Expansion Planning

    LA and New Orleans transit services both have an app that I used recently, and as a tourist, that made it extremely easy to use transit.

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    An interesting video just posted from an Edmonton YouTuber about his recent bike trip from downtown to Ikea. He's an avid cyclist on his cargo bike and the video shows some of the distance the city still has to go building and tying together its bike network.

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    Usually by press release if they're adding flights, on their website if they're cutting. Usually, they'll put out a release and post on their socials that the summer schedule is out.

    It would be really nice if a cafe opened in the old 3 Bananas space with that train at the doorstep

    Neighbourhood Renewal

    The traffic circle looks safe for cyclists and pedestrians to me, too

    Edmonton Real Estate Market

    An interesting video out this morning about many of the things Montreal is doing to become even more livable. There are plenty of ideas Edmonton could adopt as it builds out the bike network

    Neighbourhood Renewal

    The city is asking for feedback on a really interesting redesign of 36th St in Clareview. The project would see 36th go from four lanes to mostly 2 with a few areas where parking will be provided and a MUP on the east side of the road

    I would sue over the tree removal!

    Municipal Politics

    I can't comment on the job that Sohi has been doing, but don't forget, he's perhaps the only mayor in Canadian history who's been tortured for his political work. So he's tougher than he appears.

    I only wish they had two escalators in that space. It would make for efficient movement of people and you could still have an escalator taking people up to street level if you had to close one down for maintenance.

    New Zoning Bylaw

    Council has just finished hearing from those in favour of the new zoning and the mayor announced that hearings won't be done on Thursday so council is looking at sitting either over the weekend or continuing next week to hear from everybody.

    The Edmonton Elks - CFL

    That's more or less what the BC Lions do

    The Edmonton Elks - CFL

    I think that's a good move

    The rest of the thread explains what you saw: While independent certification paperwork continues, TransEd will complete some maintenance work over the next 4 days within the trackway while train movement pauses in Millwoods, Bonnie Doon and Strathearn neighborhoods. The work involves...

    Half-serious question: Are the Tegler building bricks still around? It worked for the Alberta Hotel...

    I can't vouch for the accuracy of this report, but the ETS branch status report going to the ETS Advisory Board today contains this little nugget on the VLSE:

    It's almost invariably the case that governments of all levels do a great job of announcing splashy capital projects, but put little thought or money into the operations (as we've seen over and over, that's left to local governments)
