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

    It looked like only 1/5 or so has been installed when I swung by the other day. Just looking at the area, I imagine by July it could be opened, but I haven't been following actual updates very closely. Would be surprised to see it by the end of June though. Prove me wrong, TransEd!

    Edmonton | 10123 106 Street | 155.14m | 50s | Westrich Pacific | Arc Studio

    Consultation open https://engaged.edmonton.ca/tower106 To be honest (maybe this is just NIMBYism), I'm a bit annoyed at how our core is shaping out to be with more and more super tall skinny buildings. Someone made a point that it's naturally emerged from how North American cities sell and...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Congratulations! I don't think it's easy to assess the quality of the bike by the price, but I'm sure with a little bit of love and care, it'll last you decades. I've ridden Dutch bikes from before the moon landings. Most Dutch people I know don't even take very good care of their bikes and...

    Arc Smart Fare System

    I don’t think zones are being considered, but distance-based fares are. https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/transit/new-transit-fare-options.aspx

    Edmonton | Metro Line LRT | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    The southwest extension the next priority. Maybe by “big push”, we have different standards :) – https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/transit/nw-lrt.aspx

    Is anyone here a member of the Canadian Public Transit Discussion Board?

    I've used their Wiki in the past because of the great detail on fleets :)

    High Level Bridge

    Thanks for taking a look! Unfortunately this is not what I was looking for, but it might be even better. Ha! What was on my mind was in a thread that also contained talk about a train station on Whyte vs downtown. The actual post was to someone’s architecture thesis or something. The drawings...

    Miscellaneous

    With so many Beljan projects going up around Whyte -- or at least all of the cool projects there being Beljan's (I'm not sold on Station Yards though) -- it's like a little Beljan enclave forming :)

    High Level Bridge

    Someone posted some student's project that had a HSR train station conceptualized for the end of the current tram line, where ProCura wants to build a new parking lot. For the life of me, I can't find that link on the forum -- I've tried many search links and gone through many threads, but no...

    Miscellaneous

    I have no clue where to put this on the forum, but I had to share. An urban planning friend and I were chatting earlier and she made the point that soon, we might be enticed to rename Whyte Ave Beljan Ave. I thought we could consider renaming Strathcona to Beljan instead. Thoughts?

    Tiny Homes

    Because I believe in the power of video to capture the attention of people who don't like to read numbers or numbers in reports... Bonus:

    Warehouse District Park

    I can't find Blatchford mentioned on Perkins and Will. I wonder if that's because of this kerfuffle. https://perkinswill.com/work/ I'd love to see older designs, plans, and renders for all of Blatchford, if they exist! A cursory glance on DuckDuckGo didn't yield much.

    Edmonton | Capital | 42.97m | 12s | Strategic Group | KENNEDY

    Pretty fast, but I got stuck for a few minutes a couple of weeks ago.

    Minecraft Edmonton

    Just saying, one of the top Minecraft speed runners globally is from somewhere in Alberta! https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/IlluminaHD

    Edmonton | Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    Part of me hates saying this, but I think it will look quite strange in a decade or so when this community will end up with little clusters of very differently-styled housing. In the words of The School of Life, there's both too much similarity and too much diversity.

    Around Edmonton

    Does anyone know the history of this building's refurbishment? I took a quick look around the web and couldn't find much. I think it looks great from a distance (i.e. my apartment), but up close a little disproportionate – because of the retrofits! It would be fun to have a little part of...

    Edmonton | Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I can confirm that people have already moved into these units!

    Wow, you acted quickly! That was just his day 2 on the job as Minister of Municipal Affairs.

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

    The Brewery District already seems to have quite a bit of underground parking (disclaimer: I haven't parked there yet or scouted it out by foot/bike)! I'm sure they could be convinced.

    Edmonton | Manchester Square | ?m | 2s | 76 Group Co | Gardner Architecture

    Speaking of, what's the latest here on "green" buildings? Rotterdam and Amsterdam are both pushing green roofs and other nature-based approaches to things like rainwater and heat management. e.g. (Utrecht) https://skyrisecities.com/database/projects/hawthorne-tower
