This station will be busy, not only with Norquest students but also Grant MacEwan students. Wonder if they could name it Norquest-MacEwan and rename MacEwan to MacEwan-Ice District or something.

A bulk of the bike ways (calmed shared streets really) Vancouver built up between 1990-2010 have largely been off main arterials. Honestly it's a lot nicer not having to breathe in car fumes. Vancouver's approach was actually pretty decent, stop signs for traffic crossing the bike street and...

Yea, a temporary path that takes people all the way down into Rainbow Valley and back up. Not a great detour.

They are needed upgrades, but I'm still waiting for substantial central and missing middle (between central and suburbs) improvements.

I had to ride on the sidewalk on 66 St (north side) as I was with my 12 year old and didn't realize there wasn't a shared used path along there. I realize I've been riding on the road since I was 11 but traffic seemed a lot calmer and safer 30 years ago. Now I don't want to ride on some of...

If it's anything similar to Vancouver, the platform might be steel or a continuous concrete beams that'll be erected into place with a mobile crane as the structural requirements on the platform are much less than the LRT guideway.

Single vehicle accident where a speeding pickup truck went over a median, struck a fence, and flew onto the Capital Line tracks Saturday. Doesn't appear any other vehicles including LRT vehicles were involved...

I didn't see an obvious pedestrian connection west from the station but I didn't think to check north. We wanted to explore with baby but it felt much colder in that area than it did in Chinatown. My partner appreciated the heated shelters. I plan on going back sometime this week when it's...

New York City's attempts to stop fare evaders. The problem is that emergency exits exist. The video also catches someone piggybacking a fare-paying passenger through the new gates that were supposed to deter jump-overs and crawl-unders.

I don't think it's a lightbulb out issue, it's a switch flipped off or wires disconnected issue.

Tokyo, New York, and Montreal have fare gate attendants who provide information and are at least an extra set of eyes who can radio for nearby police. Fare gates without attendants are like expecting a television set to parent a child. Or forego the costs of fare gates and implement more...

I witnessed a person fling his backpack under a fare gate and then squeeze through the wide gates intended for wheelchairs in Vancouver. So those who are a threat to safety are still getting on the system, paid or non-paid. Translink never wanted it citing that what they would recoup in fare...

That's amazing, thanks! Seems as I would have imagined. The Southern part of Ebbers is within a 10 minute walk from Clareview especially with the extension of Clareview Station Dr. There were three development permits issued that will provide 822 new dwelling units plus underground parking --...

Can Albertan municipalities table legislation that protects them against provincial government overreach?

Voted for slashing the bike infrastructure budget in half Cartmell.

I would've liked to have seen Clareview Station and the area in the 80s. A concrete platform with a couple of waiting shelters in a then fairly rural part of town. Sad that it wasn't an LRT station but rather the Anthony Henday Drive that's caused development in this area to explode. The...

Link to the video if it works:

A lot of people transfer to Metro Line to get off at MacEwan Station. We can tell people that it's only a 3 block walk from 102 St Stop (2 blocks if ECC is open) but a 3 block walk on unactivated streets feels like forever. Case in point, I'd rather transfer onto the Valley Line to 102 St to...

I hope not, same with 50 St whenever it gets built. Not every road that crosses a freeway needs to be an interchange. Same with Terwillegar.

Most of them! The whys matter and it's nice to see the thought behind it.
