For sure, and I do want to see the tech develop, but it's going to take a long time imo.

I think with trying to fit a large train station into a central area, there's issues to consider no matter where you put it haha. I think replacing the Canterra strip mall with a large train station would be the most ideal option, as many large stations around the world often have mall-like...

Cool idea!! I like that you put the downtown station where the old Canadian Pacific station used to be 😁. I think this may honestly be one of the most solid options for a downtown train station, as it'd probably be relatively cost-effective when compared with a fully new bridge and underground...

I literally walk past by this site every morning when I'm going to uni, but I haven't taken any pics till now 😭

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly I have mixed feelings on the downtown vs. Strathcona station debate. In my ideal world there would be both with Edmonton's unique double-downtown situation, but if there had to be one I'd say is should be downtown, specifically in the current location of ECC...

With all the debate about rail, HSR, etc. happening in the Commuter and Regional Rail thread, I decided to update this one map I made a while back of potential passenger rail services in Alberta (link). Right now I only have three things on it, with more to come when I decide to work on it...

I'm excited to see what's gonna go into the CRUs in this building. so cool to have so many options in this 4 block radius with Mercury, OEX and this building now 😁

A temporary park and ride, along with a few rerouted bus routes would do Blatchford Gate WONDERS. Running the line there would serve North-siders very well and would be perfectly fine until it’s replaced with dense housing and businesses imo

A chilly and windy day at NAIT/Blatchford Market Station!

Hey what's the verdict on the location? Felice Cafe or Panini's

Yeggator beat us to it, but me and @erudyk_29 + a few other friends might go and check it out after classes on Monday!

"gUys it's grOwiNg oN mE-" With all due respect it looks like the Remand Centre with funny colours.

6. I'll do all of these to prove you right

I mean... in my mind it kinda has everything to do with Transpod. Hyperloop One was the largest player in this industry BY FAR, and the only one that managed to make a prototype which could carry humans safely akaik. So to see that they've shut down due to, allegedly, a lack of interest in their...

This project broke ground less than 2 years ago, so the amount of progress feels insane but awesome to see!

I dunno what it is exactly but, there's something I like about the scale of this new building + the fully-grown trees in front. Feels very European imo (besides the cheap finishings).

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄🎅🌟

I'll grab a pic of it when I'm by there again, but looking southeast on the corner of 124th and 107th ave you can see the Edward and Citizen + the Pearl and it makes the whole area feel quite developed and dense.

I can try to explain my viewpoint as a transit-oriented enthusiast! I think you're right in saying that any new forms of rapid transit investment, whether that's on rails or wheels, in cities which had little to none beforehand is great and should be appreciated. Most of the contention comes in...
