What if we tunnel vehicular traffic under Gateway to 105 and keep BRT/LRT up at street level?

Was there a collision in that video? It just shows a pickup on the tracks with LRVs still slowly moving north and southbound.

Robson has only ever had turning lanes at the Art Gallery, and they closed the straight-through lanes ever since they closed Robson to vehicular traffic there. But Georgia two blocks north is the designated arterial. The alternative to Whyte Ave is 97 Ave and 63 Ave which is a lot farther away...

Most of Vancouver's underground station entrances are standalone boxes. Granville is somewhat integrated both in the Bay building off Granville from back in 1986 as well as the sketchy entrance of Seymour that has our Central Station's Empire Building entrance vibes. Then also in the early 2010s...

Roadway clearing priority 1 through 3 listed 5 days as the standard. If they haven't broken out super major arterials in its own priority, perhaps they should to actively clear those routes during active snow events.

They need housing. Barrier-free housing, in the sense that sobriety is not required. My brother is as conservative as you can get, is already on team Polievre, but he is a psychiatric nurse who does community outreach and says sober housing is among the biggest barriers to sobriety. Having a...

I hope that because Yellowhead north of Blatchford is being straightened that a lot of the work can happen in the background and it might be quicker too. Kind of like how the Metro Line extension just happened without anyone really knowing.

Forgot about MacEwan Arts-112 St. The Norquest stop seems closest to the main part of the campus though.

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...
