I really didn't see a problem, The Taste starts north of the line, just 100th north of Jasper is totally closed this year. Great connections, just walk off and BAM, you're there!

Interesting that initially the Husky tower was proposed for Edmonton, but council... well it went to Calgary instead. There used to be a great river valley view from the top of the Chateau Lacombe in "La Ronde", the top of building revolving restaurant. Sadly, not a visitor site, which got...

It would appear that we have read the same information and came away with the same reasons for the previous failure. It can only be more cost efficient IF we have 1 solitary set of managers etc.

I wouldn't want to bet money, look at the downtown dispatch on 105th... I have read some place and have heard mentioned by deputy's that they will be building a new 2 hall, as they did not want any interference from the tram line. That was a while ago, maybe things have changed???

what were the reasons it went sideways before?

I recall that it was being re-assembled, thanks for confirming... Hopefully this time they 86 this nonsense about keeping all the old admin and empire buildiers etc. in place adding costs. 1 set of managers is all that is required.

and ring your damn bell when overtaking...

how about part of "Big Water" then? ;)

it's really looking better, the station revamp was great (wish they'd fix that broken sheet of glass), clareview was good and dense, BUT it takes so long...

what's the problem, city's currently are there at the will of the province, that way no "special" deals for certain liberal mayors who blindy support attacking the province on orders from Ottawa. Equality eh?

I'd like to see a set standard city wide, all the same, would go a longs ways rather than this patchwork of varying styles...

Exactly how many does this core transportation infrastructure for a wide variety of folks really serve throughout the year, like a number, and at a cost for a bike lane at 1 million per KM? NOT saying we do not need some, but most of the year they are vacant...

Donb' Don't know why you'd think the Province would do that, From my reading these funds would be new projects so new busses could be a possibility, alas the city doesn't have a great track record with O&M

That's because the mayor is already his mouthpiece...

IIRC, Corona was designed to have the rails run straight west under Jasper and surface around the old CPR bridge and run west. I recall seeing or reading something along those lines eons ago. Turning north at 121st would have been a straight run into St Albert. There were so many...

actually, with proper redevelopment, the via station could also be a LRT station and intercity bus station, and 121st was abandoned long before blatchford was an idea, remember 97th street is so very wide as there were plans to run an LRT up the middle, but those plans have also been cancelled

agreed, in fact back when the cnr lands were still available, the city could have run a surface line down them out west with a leg north up 121st and out to st albert (the old interurban line). Said line could have turned south at 109th (the cpr lines) and tied into the high level and points...

I'm much more concerned with the impact on the fire hall further up 107th that will now have southbound routes blocked. I've read somewhere that a new fire hall is required as besides the blocked access the trains running in front can also impact on operations... Hopefully somebody includes...

Overall, looking good, too bad it'll be a few years before it sees service, and yes, agree that we are looking at a shared pathway, in fact isn't that the new branding vs bike path?

The city is great for funding new projects, upkeep, maintenance, not so good...
