    Car-Free Streets

    Given the traffic volume on 102 Ave can't be any more than 1,000 vehicles per day just based on my observations, the number of some of the infractions is staggering.

    Parking, Parking, Parking

    Yay, service charges no one asked for. I guess they'd rather we use expensive pay stations that are subject to malfunctions and vandalism. (Says the person who ends up paying 35-50 cents to not have to walk to and waste time at a pay station)

    Quarry Ridge - Strathcona County Pedestrian Footbridge | ?m | ?s | River Valley Alliance

    It's one thing if they're trying to limit access to keep it safe, but all the visual barriers they've put in on both sides of the river have been interesting. Maybe a bike ride as far up as possible on the river valley trail?

    Capital Line LRT

    These right turn things. They're often dangerous not only for pedestrians but also among other drivers. There's a high crash rate because of the deep shoulder check to the left required while in motion. Removing them completely would be the safest thing to do, but in suburbia where we do have...

    Capital Line LRT

    And they're modernizing the ones at 23 Ave with the safer design.

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I think many were optimistic that Davies park & ride would provide that intermediary interface to suburban riders while we wait for the corridor to densify. I wish the city would make hard choices like have the 500X run to Davies instead of all the way downtown. Same with the 110X-150X, open up...

    Edmonton METS Plan (1969 Historical Freeway Plan)

    There's nothing confusing about it for me either, but you have to expect other drivers to not know what lane they should be in, whether they should be signalling or not signalling, etc. Same at 109 St towards Walterdale Hill, the drivers know that the right turn lane is for turning right onto...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    You can never get rid of stupid. Seeing cars traveling in separated bike lanes in Vancouver was almost a daily occurrence.

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    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...

    Edmonton METS Plan (1969 Historical Freeway Plan)

    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.

    LRT Safety

    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...

    Edmonton | Metro Line LRT | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    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.

    Edmonton | Edmonton Motors Lands Redevelopment | 170.07m | 56s | Pangman

    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.

    Yellowhead Trail Upgrades

    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...

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Edmonton

    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...

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Edmonton

    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...

    Edmonton | Edmonton Motors Lands Redevelopment | 170.07m | 56s | Pangman

    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?

    Capital Line LRT

    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...

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Edmonton

    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...
