    Capital Line LRT

    I don't know. In Vancouver, it took Metrotown 25 years to take off and Brentwood about 30 years, and that's with immense housing pressures

    Downtown Real Estate

    There's a report on downtown surface parking lots going to the Urban Planning Committee in 10 days.

    Yellowhead Trail Upgrades

    I remember when they proposed making Fort Rd a six-lane stroad through there my dad saying at the time "who wants to live next to a six-lane highway?" In retrospect, I guess he was right.

    ETS Bus and General Transit Improvements

    Certainly the coverage on the north side isn't as good, though the map does hide some overlap, such as routes 9, 110X, and 120X all using 97St from Eaux Claires to 118 Ave. Two routes that exclusively serve the north side, the 3 and the 118 were previously on this map, but their frequencies...

    ETS Bus and General Transit Improvements

    Now that the new route brochures are out for the fall, I've mapped the routes with 10 minute frequencies or better at am peak periods. Compared to the 2021 map, there are a few routes that have dropped from 10 minute frequency to 12 minutes. But an interesting addition is route 523 from...

    Substantial Completion Standard

    This video could go into any of a number of our Edmonton forums (fora?)

    Edmonton | Bateman Lands Mid-Rise | 34m | 8s | Bateman Properties | Next Architecture

    I searched the word safe in the article and didn't find it. The person interviewed did say 99 St is not a friendly place to walk and that is 100% accurate. With all the traffic speeding past and no trees, it is not even remotely a pedestrian-friendly place. Not surprised the market for a luxury...

    Downtown Crime

    I think it's more indicative of the presence of a large maximum-security penitentiary in the city. Kingston, Ontario police routinely issue similar warnings.

    Their communications strategy is certainly better

    The fall transit changes were posted today. The major changes include: Route 31 - ETS is pleased to provide riders with a new bus route, using a dedicated lane, that will provide express service from the University to the Leger Transit Centre on Terwillegar Drive. This route will initially...

    Edmonton | 9955 Jasper Avenue | 105m | 34s | Great Gulf | a—A

    Problem is, I've spent time in that park and there's so much vehicle traffic through there, I think it would be a really difficult space to make inviting for anyone to want to spent time there.

    No, it was indeed the date at the bottom - the only date I could find - I wish the updates were actually dated in that case.

    Edmonton | Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    So far, the city's project tracking site says the Valley Line West is on budget and on time for completion in December 2027, with the latest update posted in June 2023.

    The Mercury Block II | Hodgson Schilf Evans

    This is a dumb question because I don't know the intersection well enough, but could you put in a traffic filter and essentially close that part of 102 Ave to vehicles between the buildings? I mean, now that there's no giant parking lot next to the old MEC, is there much vehicle traffic going...

    ETS Bus and General Transit Improvements

    I had a little fun compiling data from the most recent transit route report card that covers all of the city's bus routes. I pulled out two key measures: the average weekday passengers for each route and the number of riders per service hour. The busiest route was route 8, serving 12,453...

    LRT Safety

    Bus service certainly is back to normal, according to the most recent Branch Highlight Report - although for the life of me, I don't understand why they don't also publish LRT data
