    Gotta support them sports salaries... and feed the kitty for the upcoming stadium.

    Edmonton - Red Deer - Calgary Hyperloop | ?m | ?s | Transpod

    You rode the Dayliner? I did, several times... it was actually fun in my opinion. And I like the concept that it fed into communities along the way -- I took it on occasions to visit relatives in Ponoka (from Edmonton); I took it once to Red Deer to meet up with friends doing a short stacay...

    Downtown

    I know San Diego intimately for 30-odd years now. As a visitor you would totally miss the mark of this City -- it has a world class zoo and a ton of associated amenities in the same area; it has a world class Seaworld; it has a world-class Old-town, -- all of these encircling the downtown...

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Edmonton

    Don't delude yourself -- BRT does not work on Whyte, PERIOD!

    Edmonton Real Estate Market

    Most buyers just want a reasonable price for accommodation no matter the type. Do you think that buyers are really waiting for prices to go up in Edmonton; more likely they are waiting for prices to go down in the rest of the country? Economic dictates, as I have said before, is more of an...

    Edmonton - Red Deer - Calgary Hyperloop | ?m | ?s | Transpod

    I love your off-key expressions @Gronk! -- they always make me smile. There were eight 2-minute stops along the way -- this article sort of hits all of the points -- https://www.ponokanews.com/community/theres-a-fast-and-flashy-new-train-down-at-the-ponoka-station-6682689# -- for my part I was...

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Edmonton

    Okay, as per current discussion on this thread assumes a BRT down Whyte Avenue from Bonnie Doon to UofA. To be an effective BRT route through the area that is most congested (say Whyte from 100th Street to 109th Street -- the very area in this pedestrian-oriented urban scene where we have...

    Edmonton - Red Deer - Calgary Hyperloop | ?m | ?s | Transpod

    Apparently people didn't when that service existed in prior years (Dayliner history). Depends on the radius of the turns (comparable to banking and turning in an aircraft). The flat Prairie gives lots of options for large turning radiuses. The atmospheric pressure inside the pod would not...

    Disagree a little -- if the notion is to make Edmonton a centre for Hydrogen production then it would be a "money where your mouth is" situation to support that industry with Hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles -- should be a City priority.

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Edmonton

    I didn't say that BRT existed only in the third world, I said that it was more prominent there (on the other hand Calgary haters might agree that Calgary is a third-world city). BRT is a bust and the trend in more modern cities is to convert existing BRT lines to LRT. BRT lines break up...

    Edmonton | Edmonton Motors Lands Redevelopment | 170.07m | 56s | Pangman

    There had always been a plan to start with the more westerly tower (property-wise), the one set back from Jasper Avenue -- so even if that one were to begin construction in the short term, the other tower would not necessarily begin construction for a minimum of 3 years at least.
