    With it being P3 I bet they keep that info quiet. Just going to have to keep driving by I think and watch what happens.

    Saw a two car train between Roper Road and MacIntyre road this afternoon. Yesterday afternoon I saw a train down between 31 Ave and 28 Ave as well. I think they are still doing some testing/training on the Millwoods portion of the line.

    The piers affected are between Davies and Downtown. They are just past the north end of the station. Running between Millwoods and Davies doesn't provide much benefit IMHO.

    It's pretty standard to replace sections due to a poor cure or finish. Devlin construction did out neighborhood rehab and there are like 36 spots identified around our main road where pieces of the sidewalk need to be repaired. Too bad Devlin went bankrupt so they will never be fixed. Some...

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

    Living just off 66 street near the 38 Ave stop I've been watching a lot of the construction on this line and the amount of concrete they have replaced it ridiculous - be it something as simple as curbs and sidewalks, to sections of the track bed, to the across the whitemud, to the 3 sections of...

    Don't forget the 3 sections of elevated track they had to pull down and replace with brand new builds too. I have never seen a project waste so much concrete before in my life.

    They said it was due to lateral forces in the article I read. I didn't see anything related to weather?

    Never.mind the 3 sections of the elevated section they replaced as well. And don't forget the countless sections of the track bed they had to replace as well.

    Guess the only art that's going to installed on the pillars is more concrete to fill the cracks - maybe they should shape it as a bandaid eh?

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

    Just slap a bandaid on it... Not like people's lives depend on it or anything. Has there been one successful P3 built LRT project in this country? Transed should be held accountable for their lack of communication. If they've known for almost a month why have they not said anything? Oh...

    I would think if they are going for a Sept 4 opening they would be hyping it up big time. The fact it's been radio silence to me is indicative of another missed opening date. Mind you it is Transed and logic and common sense don't seem to apply to that group so maybe I'm wrong.

    They have so much egg on their face from past missed dates. It would be nice if we could get some honest answers. I would love for this line to get up and running as I could use it to get to work and not have to drive but I'm not holding my breath for it to be open any time soon.

    You may want to read the replies to that tweet. It appears this is the route 73 that is the LRT replacement route for the VLSE that will be running, not the actual train itself (as I mentioned earlier in the thread). Also Transit Edmonton is not an official account so take what they say with a...

    Drove by the elevated section on the way home from work tonight. Grounding cables have been reinstalled at the north end. Derails have also been added on both tracks. Barricades are still in place. Seemingly no change at the support piers with the scaffolding erected around them.

    It would be really nice if Transed was transparent and answer questions when the general public inquired about things they see happening out and about on the line. I'm pretty sure I'm on ignore on their twitter account.

    Barricades are still across both tracks at the north end of the elevated section. Also noticed last week the fleet of human pylons were deployed at every intersection from 38 ave south to the Terminus at MWTC. Not sure why as these signals were previously in service, so what happened that...

    I've seen trains up there testing - infact I have a photo of one leaving the north end of the station somewhere. That being said as of Thursday there was grounding cables installed at the north end of the guideway north of Argyll on Thursday. Today the cables are gone however there is...

    Also the choice of pillars doesn't really make sense for decorative art. Why wouldn't you do the ones on 75 street that everyone sees when driving by vs some on a minor industrial road?

    They already finished the concrete with a skim coat though? Maybe it's just an issue with that finish coat? ETS seems to be planning bus service as if the valley line LRT will not be running come September.
