There's this thread @archited Thought I saw something else somewhere too Never mind. @Kaizen beat me to it. lol

Ha ha, Stevey. But seriously, I think 5 minute frequency might be a bit difficult to deliver reliably and consistently. Then again, Bombardier/Alstom should be experienced enough with tram signalling to make it work. It's not like trying to fudge things (CBTC/fixed block and heavy rail arms...

The signalling issue may or may not be 'behind us'. We'll see how it works. Hopefully the line speed increases, the traffic issues improve and intersections work better for everyone. Frequency-wise, when the line reaches Campbell Road, I think we'll probably eventually need to grade-separate...

Metro Line has been switched over to the fixed block system today. https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/edmonton-metro-line-lrt-operating-on-complete-signalling-system-after-seven-year-delay

That left-right image flip disoriented me for a second. Suddenly the building was on the SE corner of the intersection and St. Albert had switched to driving on the left! This looks like a pretty good development to me. If LRT ever does happen in St. Albert, this is what they need...
