    Arc Smart Fare System

    ^ That's correct, and when they rolled it out, Translink had to do away with the fare zone system on buses because they couldn't get it to work

    Greatest dodged bullet of a project

    There's also an Agricultural Land Reserve that severely restricts greenfield development. I would love it if the Edmonton region had that, but I suppose it's not realistic in Alberta

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

    I hope I'm wrong, but those bike racks seem like a magnet for thieves. I wish covered/secured parking were part of this project

    Regional Transit

    Well, I wouldn't call it a major rethink of transit service in the region -- at least not at this point. Service from Beaumont to the airport in the AM/PM peak is a good first day addition, but there is a certain tragedy that there won't be a stop or 2 in Nisku (I know it's political, but...

    Downtown

    I remember when there were hay bales at 104 Ave +109th-ish in the mid-90s... so yes, it's come a long way

    Ah! Had to clear my cache. ty

    Greatest dodged bullet of a project

    I still wish they'd finish Canada Place. One of my favourite buildings because it's different - totally a product of its location and unique

    ETS Bus and General Transit Improvements

    Yes they did some updating overnight. If these are the final fall schedules that are posted, there are some major cuts coming. Here are just two examples: #4 between Bonnie Doon and University down to every 12 minutes during peak (instead of every 6 last year); #5 between Westmount and...

    That would make the most sense

    ETS Bus and General Transit Improvements

    The ETS Route Schedule and Maps page has been updated with a column for schedules starting Sept. 4, but I don't believe individual route brochures have been updated yet, as they're all showing the same timings as the summer schedule. Interestingly, route 510X has disappeared and no other route...

    Edmonton | Metro 78 | 23m | 6s | Pinto Properties | Frank Hilbich

    This sounds like a place I would totally want to live!

    East Junction | 86m | 25s | Regency Developments | DER + Associates

    well, um... at least it's energy efficient?

    The Sky track in the renders makes me think of this:

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

    I get that this delay is frustrating. But to blame the City of Edmonton overlooks one key point: the P3 model (public-private-partnership) under which this leg was built was mandated by the federal government under the PPP Canada Fund announced in 2009. An almost laughable quote from the...

    Car-Free Streets

    A potential long-term idea? Shifter video on what killed a Calgary woonerf

    Edmonton | Jasper House | 108m | ?s

    A driveway onto Jasper (one of the reasons for non-support) seems like a bad idea too, imo

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    It is in the EMTSC business case, but ETS will maintain their own services for a while, so it's hard to say. Would be much more clear if the EMTSC ever publishes its day one operating plan

    General Infill Discussion

    Walked down 114 Ave through Spruce Avenue last week and came across this infill. It's 4 homes (and perhaps basement apartments) replacing a single family home. Nothing remarkable, really, until I looked along the entire length of the avenue between 106 and 101. Almost all of the corner lots on...
