    Edmonton | Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I would also echo what somebody posited before that the Streetside townhomes are in direct competition with the NX development across the street. We bought into NX after looking at Streetside because it’s just a far superior product for a similar price point. The Streetside units are very small...

    Edmonton | NorQuest College Singhmar Centre for Learning | ?m | 4s | NorQuest College | DIALOG

    It’s weird, I’m seeing the opposite. I live in the North Edge and every time I cut through the MacEwan or NorQuest campuses I notice how clean they are and how I don’t see many signs of homelessness. I assume it’s because they have regular security patrols. But I’m not a student at either...

    10921 - JASPER AVENUE NW -

    Just seeing this now. I'll echo the comments about it being too bad we're not preserving a right of way for a future rail line. We have made this mistake before with MacEwan. It will get increasingly harder to build a HSR/Intercity rail hub in downtown Edmonton if we continue to build on old...

    LRT Expansion Planning

    Um… I’m not sure if this is the right time to be nit-picky, but it’s “forum”, not “form”. 🤪

    Edmonton | 105 Avenue (Columbia Avenue) Streetscape | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    When I was walking through this pocket park a few days ago there was a contractor pressure washing all the sidewalks, watering the trees, and adding some new mulch. Maybe it’s still in its warranty phase? 🤷‍♂️

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Could it be that this is an older streetlight that will be removed before construction wraps up? It seems extremely odd to me.

    50 Street Widening & CP Rail Grade Separation

    75 Street is not as bad as 50th because it’s not near a yard. The trains go through there at faster speeds and do not stop and backup. I think the next crossing in the city that has the longest delays would be the Whitemud Drive service roads east of Gateway since it’s just north of CPKC’s...

    Advanced Skills Centre | ?m | 4s | NAIT

    It’s on 118 Ave, so still closer to the NAIT/Blatchford Market station.

    50 Street Widening & CP Rail Grade Separation

    82 Ave will extend eastward under the bridge and connect up with the intersection of 84 Ave/46 St.

    50 Street Widening & CP Rail Grade Separation

    There wasn’t enough room without demolishing the office buildings or expropriating more land. Personally I think they should have just built a four lane bridge to begin with and be done with it. Not sure why we need six lanes on every arterial road in this city…

    50 Street Widening & CP Rail Grade Separation

    Yes, once the northbound overpass opens, they will remove the existing level crossing and build a second overpass for the southbound lanes. The whole project is supposed to be complete in 2026.

    50 Street Widening & CP Rail Grade Separation

    This fall, I’m guessing October.

    Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

    Maybe we should have a summer sidewalk program similar to snow clearing in winter. You would be responsible for keeping the boulevard and sidewalk in front of your property clear of litter and swept/washed if needed.

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I’m pretty sure it’s just a lay down site for the place under construction across 116 Street. https://edmonton.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/10308-116-street-m-s-leston-holdings-arc-studio.31965/

    This is the kind of TOD we need more of. A six-storey building being built on what was once two lots a block from Strathearn Station. 😍

    Roads to Avoid

    The LRT on 111 Street is a blessing and a curse. If you time it right, and you’re running next to a train, you’ll get all green lights.

    Edmonton | Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I believe there are lots on Alpha Blvd that are intended for mixed use. Hopefully we start to see a little “Main Street” develop.

    We’ve delivered a bunch of rails and ties to their site recently (I work for CPKC). They’re definitely getting ready to build a rail yard. Not sure what else is planned for the site.
