    I was curious if had the link to this available?

    Edmonton METS Plan (1969 Historical Freeway Plan)

    Bumping an older thread. In light of the built up Gateway Boulevard, I think the 91 St ROW is a missed opportunity for a free flow Hwy 2 into Edmonton to Whitemud Drive. The issue is with it ending at 63 Ave, it doesn't serve as much purpose further north, and obviously the Mill Creek extension...

    Edmonton as a national capital

    I'll play along with the premise of the OP and ignore actual politics or likelihood of it materializing. If all four western provinces were to form a separate country, the first choice would probably be one of the existing provincial capitals. My first choice would be Victoria...if it was more...
