    Capital Line LRT

    Hopefully contruction closures to the MUP going up 111St are minimal, as that is pretty much the only connector for cyclists who live past the Henday to commute into the city. Any detours would be extremely inconvenient.

    Terwillegar Drive Expansion

    I noticed that the at least a part MUP is open now (have been out of town for most of the previous months) - does anyone know if it is entirely done?

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Not sure where else to post this, but the old Connors Road pedestrian bridge repurposing work is now complete, with the bridge in it's new location crossing the Blackmud Creek in the the current 111 St bridge area.

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    To continue airing my grievances about cycling infrastructure on the southside, here is an example of a completely unnecessary slip lane, leading into the Skyrattler neighbourhood going off 111 Street SB onto Saddleback road (photo is looking eastbound). The turn radius to cross the road and...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Definitely, I've ridden enough kms on roads in this city to know various strategies to keep myself visible to drivers and anticipate certain manoeuvres. It seems that there is a general lack of understanding on the part of many drivers on what it's like to ride a bike on the road. This lane can...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Late to this, but here is another example of the Saddleback Road (in the SW) painted bike lane near the 23 Ave intersection, earlier this year. Street parking right beside it, 2 parking lot access points (sightlines obscured by parked cars), and a busy intersection ahead of people making turns...

    Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

    I also have to laugh at the 40km/hr sign there because with a street designed like this, you know damn well that nobody is going to adhere to it. With how car-centric this city is (and how selfish some drivers are) the most effective traffic calming method, I feel, is by road design... not sure...

    Southwest Transportation Improvements

    I think that I read somewhere (can't quite recall) that supply issues with regard to Covid had delayed the bridge work. All the shoulder extensions/widening are pretty much complete by now, though, in addition to the widened 111 St interchange (exiting EB). Surprised that we haven't seen any...

    Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

    The connection to the MUP/crossing changes are welcome, but overall it is pretty underwhelming.

    As a frequent winter cyclist, I'd argue that the freeze-thaw cycle is worse to deal with as opposed the -30 or colder days.

    Terwillegar Drive Expansion

    I really hope that this project might also include rehabilitation of the MUP as well on the west side of Snow Valley, and possibly the portion including the bridge. The east portion that was redone a few years ago when the ramps were rehabilitated is quite nice but the other side of the hill has...

    Photos from Rutherford Library, taken today. Plaza coming together fast, hopefully ready to open soon!

    Terwillegar Drive Expansion

    40 Ave progress, as of today (taken while stopped at the light heading WB, on a bike ride).

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Wedgewood Ravine MUP reconstruction (old 184 Street connecting Cameron Heights and Wedgewood, pretty popular for city cyclists heading to the SW) is also likely to occur through September-October, as per the project manager. I do have a copy of the construction bulletin with tentative plans (it...

    Edmonton | 100 Street Funicular and Frederick G. Todd Lookout | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton | DIALOG

    I wish they'd upgrade the Grierson Hill MUP (is it even one?) for an alternative route to DT, especially considering the detours through Louise McKinney Park as well.

    Neighbourhood Renewal

    Looks like early last week they were starting to work on 88 Ave in Garneau. Not sure about the 110 Street bike lane, has anyone been through there recently?

    Southwest Transportation Improvements

    If I recall correctly (can't find the plans offhand), the eventual plan for Terwillegar/170 St is to become another freeway to the airport/QEII, no? On a completely unrelated note with regard to cycling infrastructure in the SW, it will sure be nice when the last section Ellerslie Road over the...

    Anthony Henday Drive

    Yeah, I wonder what the holdup is for the river bridge... possibly supply issues or Covid-related delays? The Wedgewood Creek work has been fenced off for quite a while now so not sure how far along they are there. The other bridge near the Whitemud/87 Av also looks to be coming along nicely...

    Capital Line LRT

    Nothing yet on an estimated time for construction to start?
