So you can be an a hole and worse and still be a lawyer. And lawyers wonder why the public doesn't really like them.

The pole in the middle of the sidewalk on 142nd St has been removed, leaving just the base. Why could this not have been done before the new sidewalk poured right to the light? Sigh

Main floor pour happening today

This is on 142nd Street just south of 102 Ave. New sidewalk poured right to the edge of this hazard. And it's just left and still lights up at night. Stuff like this shows that either planners don't walk sites or the system is too rigid to fix or worse no one cares. One thing is obvious...

Here is the rfp for the rail master plan. Interesting that no companies involved with unsolicited rail bids can be involved. Timeline looks pretty aggressive too. Happy to see movement. https://purchasing.alberta.ca/posting/AB-2024-06538

Woops yes 142 St

This is the start of the new intersection at 149 St and 102 Ave. I'm concerned at the seemingly lack of accessibility on the future sidewalk. It looks like the corner will be a bit of a obstacle course.

I am happy that the U of A is following in the footsteps of UBC but wow is UBC ever going on a building spree. Wouldn't this be amazing in Edmonton's downtown. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/ubc-surrey-campus-potential-design-concept

For the possible train station at Blatchford Gates you can add a new spur line underneath the new Yellowhead interchange. This would allow the original VIA line to revert to city and become a MUP from Kingsway all the way to other side of Yellowhead using the existing infrastructure. And...

I would love to see a replacement train station directly parallel to Blatchford Gate.

I believe this bridge in Acheson is in the planning stage through the province. Was announced a year or two ago.

I asked this morning. Company started by a U of A prof and are now the only company in Canada that designs and makes optical switches. A couple of companies stateside and about a dozen worldwide. For leaving Edmonton, little concentration of expertise other than Micralyne in Edmonton...

Visiting the island with a buddy from Vancouver who is the CFO of a former Edmonton company that started out of the Nanotechnology Centre at U of A . Company moved to Vancouver 2 years ago. I asked if anybody from Edmonton Global or other economic development groups contacted the company to...

747 bus was full emptying at Century Park and on our way now. 8 standing. Half travellers half workers. Time to add 30 minute service during daytime. And at least 25 people waiting at the 747 stop at the airport.

Any rumours of new buildings being planned or new players coming into Edmonton?

This is the path on the east side of Rainbow Valley bridge. The pedestrian lights were installed a few weeks ago. This looks so awful. Did whoever designed these lights actually walk the route. Would have been so much cheaper and visually better just leaving the street lights alone or...

I also am intrigued that they mentioned buses to either connect to trains or from centres too small to have rail service. This is the first I’ve heard of this. Might be trying to fill the void of the loss of Greyhound to the rural communities
