    Warehouse District Park

    I lost count how many times the weather changed in that clip.

    Warehouse District Park

    Vancouver to some extent as well. Lots of surface and (dedicated) multi-level parking lots.

    I see building permits issued in 2024 so far for about 30 row homes, plus 11 secondary suites.

    Blatchford is easily a frontrunner neighbourhood for us if they at least start breaking ground for a new elementary school by 2028.

    The ones that do work smell funny inside. Is that smell bad for us? I was going to wait in one with my year old daughter but wasn't sure if the chemicals could affect her so I opted to wait outside in the blustery cold.

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

    I feel like bicycles on trains are a cheat code. I did the same this morning on Capital Line which really needs the same bicycle/wheelchair area treatment as Valley Line. I'm often not in the mood to ride all the way to work in the morning but I do love that afternoon ride home.

    Capital Line LRT

    15 minutes now for Capital Line all day Saturday and Sunday now. https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/lrt-station-locations Elks games are still attracting 20,000 fans and, unlike Oilers games, there's almost nowhere to park a reasonable walking distance away. The park and rides are their bread and...

    Capital Line LRT

    Is it normal for the Capital Line to run at 15-minute frequencies with the Elks and Oilers games? Or was it because it was a presason Elks game and road Oilers game?

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

    Beautiful sight Saturday late afternoon. Churchill Square full of people just enjoying a nice day in the city, a large crowd of people spilling out of the inbound Valley Line train and some of them could've been heading to the Oilers watch parties but there were lots looking like they were just...

    Arc Smart Fare System

    If you're on an Edmonton Transit bus or train, there's absolutely no harm not tapping off. Only scenario I can think of is maybe seeing you have $2.75 left on your card which is perfect as you just need to make the one trip, then you go and tap on and it takes the missing $2.75 fare you forgot...

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

    Really good for a midday. My PM rush hour train was equally as busy. Easily 100+ passengers on a two car train set. Then the train going towards downtown was surprisingly busy, I'd estimate at least 75 passengers. Maybe the OIlers game had something to do with it.

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

    Knowing what we know today about transit ridership trends and say we were debating on the final Valley Line alignment, would we have run it through downtown or through the university, perhaps with a stub into downtown?

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    The issues with confusiing beginnings and ends, missing middles, etc. is not unique to Edmonton. A lot of municipalities are behind on biking infrastructure, and a few examples of the safe and shiny bicycle corridors in other cities is not going to translate to the rest of that city. Tour any...

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

    I usually park at Stadium Station and ride my bike in. Funny as a Vancouverite of 22 years I prefer not to ride my bicycle in the rain, yet have no problem with riding when it's -15 out. I decided to drive to Strathearn today and take Valley Line in. 8:10am, rear of a two car train set, I'd say...

    Yellowhead Trail Upgrades

    Has anyone noticed any traffic issues with people using St Albert Trail and 156 St interchanges to turn around? I find navigation apps tend to route people on 123/124/128 Ave so maybe it hasn't been a huge issue. Although I still think St. Albert Trail interchange is a very good candidate for...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    I can believe most of those numbers except motor scooter loving Southeast Asia. According to the Canadian 2016 Census, 12.4% took transit, 12.1% carpooled, and 6.9% walked or cycled. https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/as-sa/98-200-x/2016029/98-200-x2016029-eng.cfm?wbdisable=true

    EVER (on Baseline Commercial Plaza) | Ever Red

    I feel that Sherwood Park has put up a lot of barriers in order to keep the community exclusive and desireable. From pricier real estate (more the result of supply and demand) to the largely car centric development other than Centre in the Park. I'm surprised they have as much transit as they do...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    If there's no dashed white line, it's one lane in that direction. So Hermitage Road is technically a really wide single lane in each direction. There was someone speeding up that parking lane the other day and abruptly moved into the driving lane because there were parked cars. The Towards 40...

    Must've been on the other side of the extent of project line.

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    As someone who often drives and sometime bikes on 132 Ave, 144 Ave, and Hermitage Road whether during rush hour to late at night, there is no reason those two roads should have ever been designed as four lane roads to begin with. There is never enough volume to justify the capacity so the wide...
