If VLSE can handle the crowds from today, they should be good for 5 minute peak service. It's good to see this level of turnout across ETS in general -- must be the weather drawing people out.

I didn't, and to the contrary I think you're shooting the messenger rather than admit your example was flawed. Given how the Metro line has been built to date and the whole fracas with Ellerslie, I expect the number of at-grade crossings to increase due to cost concerns. Just hope there is...

It's not obvious and very misleading because all the elevated Canada Line stations have the same basic setup, but Richmond-Brighouse specifically is single-tracked and is effectively half a station as a result.

Basic as in single-tracked? No thanks, that's one mistake Edmonton has avoided making so far.

No, but let's hope it's never needed -- we'll have failed as a City if so. Rather, a third lane would (should) be added to north Henday.

Access is fine for people north of Yellowhead, but not south (Montrose). https://www.edmonton.ca/sites/default/files/public-files/assets/RoadsTraffic/66Street_DetailedConcept.pdf?cb=1703350548 In particular, people on EB Yellowhead wanting to exit to 66 St have no good options - they have to...

It sucks that the City is able to go all out for the 115 St interchange but not for 66 St.

As long as it's not built, there's always the possibility. However, it has been considered and rejected before: https://pub-edmonton.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=9602 "The at-grade option would use a partial-priority train operation, where trains are held at the Castle Downs...

Good Lord, 14 lanes.... I guess it's the equivalent of Whitemud at Gateway though.

This statement sounds like some carbrained raving -- I want that sheltered public space GONE and asphalted so MUH ROAD gets extended through and I don't have to turn like some SECOND-CLASS citizen... They should start with the carparks, especially the ones next to the LRT. Another option is the...

https://edmonton.citynews.ca/2023/12/12/edmonton-bus-company-charges-fines-safety/ This sounds really bad. I thought they had plans for regular coach service, but it seems like they've stuck to charter buses only. They seemed alright when I took them, but this was years ago now...

Perhaps they were busy with the Ridership Improvement Strategies report that was presented to Council earlier this month. Or ETS is trying to manage all the changes with Valley Line finally starting operations. I'm more miffed that they stopped publishing the annual LRT passenger count report...

There's the non-concrete construction you're looking for! 😂🤣

https://edmonton.skyrisecities.com/news/2017/04/city-looks-impacts-elevating-part-valley-line-lrt.26345 With the pedestrian hit earlier this week, let's look back on what could have been (potential pier cracks notwithstanding)... Also, remember when the City recommended an underpass for 149...

The post was referring to LRV procurement, which has yet to be announced.

It is interesting how the Jasper Freeway was never built, yet Fox Drive and Belgravia Road was.

Anyone know where the satellite garage is supposed to be? Is it an existing space, extension of one, or a new-build facility?

Again, a reminder that the City had considered this before: One more thing is that MacEwan Station should have been buried and the tunnel portal extended to 105 St. It would have avoided the hokey at-grade turn and improved ventilation in the tunnel -- the prevailing winds blow eastward and...
