I wonder what the Capital Line's historical ridership was. Vancouver's Expo Line was 21,000 per weekday on average post Expo 86. Everyone starts from somewhere. Many of the studies I see say that light rail, particularly traffic-integrated light rail, does not attract nearly as many passengers...

The hairpin intersection is easy enough to deal with, I'd rather they fix the confusing 101 St and MacDonald Dr intersection. They should lower 101 St below MacDonald Dr and then grade it up to surface towards Jasper Ave.

Did you mean BRE NTW OOD ?

There are still a lot of professionals and students taking the LRT. The City of Edmonton can certainly do something to improve the perception of safety but without support from the provincial government and, seeing how it is clearly a Canada wide issue now, the federal government, municipal...

It's going to take far more than the build out of Blatchford to increase Metro Line frequencies. The trains are primarily packed with NAIT students.

Just bought a bicycle from Revolution too for my partner. They kept their Electras upstairs which were fortunately spared so they sent it to Sherwood Park for me to pickup.

They've poured some of the cast in place concrete barriers over the winter but it has progressed at a snail's pace. Maybe someone who has experience with construction labour logistics can explain how concrete pours are avoided in the winter and how it's difficult to redirect work to concrete...

Traffic prioritization would be no different than Valley Line, they'll time everything as best as possible but the bus may be held at some intersections. 76 Ave is a 40km/h collector. The upcoming 75 St to 99 St renewal will have multi-modal transportation in mind and is only going to make it...

The No 3 Road busway in Richmond was amazing, but it existed for less than 6 years before Skytrain was built. I wouldn't support building a fancy busway if rail was set to replace it in the next 15 years or less, and all the rail infrastructure dollars for the next 15 years have been committed...

I'm sighing in relief it's not right downtown, for the sake of my wallet. I wonder if this is temporary until they can move back to their Stony Plain Road location or permanent?

Vancouver's MK2.5 and MK3 Skytrains have the Option 3 type seating layout and I much prefer that to transverse seating. It would offer a wider aisle than the current 2+2 configuration which means more passenger capacity. Longitudinal seating is way more comfortable than transverse seating in my...

Vancouver has had great success with their B-Line buses that's since been rebranded Rapidbus, except the OG 99 B-Line which is going to be replaced anyway. But I think Calgary's MAX would give us a better idea of what ridership will be like. If Whyte Ave is not going to get LRT for at least 20...

What if we tunnel vehicular traffic under Gateway to 105 and keep BRT/LRT up at street level?

Was there a collision in that video? It just shows a pickup on the tracks with LRVs still slowly moving north and southbound.

Robson has only ever had turning lanes at the Art Gallery, and they closed the straight-through lanes ever since they closed Robson to vehicular traffic there. But Georgia two blocks north is the designated arterial. The alternative to Whyte Ave is 97 Ave and 63 Ave which is a lot farther away...

Most of Vancouver's underground station entrances are standalone boxes. Granville is somewhat integrated both in the Bay building off Granville from back in 1986 as well as the sketchy entrance of Seymour that has our Central Station's Empire Building entrance vibes. Then also in the early 2010s...

Roadway clearing priority 1 through 3 listed 5 days as the standard. If they haven't broken out super major arterials in its own priority, perhaps they should to actively clear those routes during active snow events.

They need housing. Barrier-free housing, in the sense that sobriety is not required. My brother is as conservative as you can get, is already on team Polievre, but he is a psychiatric nurse who does community outreach and says sober housing is among the biggest barriers to sobriety. Having a...

I hope that because Yellowhead north of Blatchford is being straightened that a lot of the work can happen in the background and it might be quicker too. Kind of like how the Metro Line extension just happened without anyone really knowing.

Forgot about MacEwan Arts-112 St. The Norquest stop seems closest to the main part of the campus though.
