Where did you hear about the timelines being officially delayed? The project page is frustratingly out of date, and the latest quarterly update only says that the 2024 routes have either begun construction, or will begin this fall. Is there a place to see more detailed info?

I can't say where I learnt this, but VL daily boarding are at ~15,000, so that checks out with what Blizzard said. Also, Blizzard has previously given insider information that turned out to be true (I.e., they're the one who told us to expect the announcement re: VL commencing service), so...

Will they roll out a revised door for VLSE, or leave it as-is with no door?

Funny, I had the same thought yesterday. The pics that you two shared are great, so I'll just supplement with some different views of the path connection. The incomplete path connection, right by the NAIT/Blatchford Market stop The nearly-completed connection, which is a little further from...

Darn, you're right. The permit says "Business/Personal - main floor CRU 1, General Industrial use - main to 5th floor, no RTUs". I didn't realize they still had to specify a main floor CRU even if it was still the same business as the floors above. I'm guessing it's for their offices? I thought...

The new Affordable Storage building on 116 st and 105 ave is getting siding now. I think the development permit mentioned ground level commercial, does anyone know if they plan to lease some space to another business?

EPS has a couple of transit-dedicated police teams, and I believe they said a few months ago they're on track to have 50 total officers dedicated to transit by end of year. Going off that first point, the military is being hampered enough by wildfire response; transit security duty would take...

Is there a repository of older books over time? I found one on google from 2021, and while there weren't too many differences, it'd still be nice to see how it changes over time as design work progresses.

As someone who drives the streetcars, that plan was sadly very unrealistic. Off the top of my head, they drew the streetcar in the tunnel half the width that they actually are, meaning a path actually cannot fit there. Also, they didn't separate people and streetcars on the top deck, and one of...

The Q1 2024 update says that they hope to have Stoney Plain Road opened in Q3. I dunno about the bridge though.

Later this year, apparently. https://www.ualberta.ca/en/facilities-operations/projects-initiatives/infrastructure/university-commons/index.html

Low floor LRT and streetcar service do have many similarities, but there are important differences too. Namely, streetcars more often than not share their right-of-way with vehicles (though there are some exceptions, like with some routes in Toronto), whereas low floor LRT has segregated...

In Edmonton, it was moreso because the city was too broke during the Great Depression to invest almost anything more than light maintenance - like replacing old rails and streetcars. In 1937, city admin recommended switching completely to trolley (and some gas) buses rather than trying to tackle...

I also just noticed that this past June, a Google Streetview car went through Blatchford for the first time ever. It gives a great glimpse at where the neighbourhood is at.

Fortunately, it's due to get a little better with the pedway/streetscaping project that's underway. But I don't know if this part of the project is funded yet. Here's the project map: And here's what the website says about funding: "This project is currently funded for the completion of...

Just going to put this here instead of one specific LRT thread: 2024 Mid-Season LRT Construction Update

I think it was up to Taste of Edmonton. They had two entrances I think - one on each end of their 100 St. boundary. The rest of the perimeter was fenced off from what I could tell.

I commute by there for work. I think demo happened a month or two ago.
