None of them are without massive swathes of post-WWII sprawl though, which can't be said about most European and Asian cities.

Got a good look at this one waiting for the 9 bus near sugarbowl and wow, you guys weren’t exaggerating about the prominence of this one, love it!

Agreed. Yes we have to always demand better but It doesn’t hurt to consider we could be living in *insert American metro of 1-1.5 mil*

I think the look of this one will matter a lot less when (refuse to say ‘if’) those other lots are filled in with towers of similar height, if not taller.

looks as though they’re aiming for our trophy

And yet the city that has been growing by an entire Red Deer’s worth of people every few years doesn’t need any additional full-service hospitals.

I'd argue it facilitates poor driving. I find the places with no right turn on red such as the Whyte scrambles are a far more pleasant pedestrian and driving experience because that point of conflict is removed.

I can understand that they're feeling that, I cannot understand how they feel it is wrong or unexpected.

True, hopefully the pavilion will be visible lol

I like it too... the red to me looks quite nice and the design is unique. Will continue to pop in the winter which I think is pretty important.

Just going back to a discussion about ridership that was had quite a while ago, the daily ridership on route 73 from Feb-April last year is reported to be over 10,000 so is it safe to assume it’s at least 20,000?

Also anecdotal but when I watch it pass McKernan/Belgravia it is also often pretty vacant. I have noticed increased ridership in the last few weeks though.

The thing that made the area what it is will kill it? Ok….

I don't really mind hyphenated names as long as they make sense (South Campus/Ft Ed is asinine) since most people just say the more notable part of the name anyways. While I like perpendicular streets being in names (especially downtown) I think they should still include their original names...

As someone who is in school for planning, the conversations I have with people when I tell them what I’m studying have repeatedly proven that the average Edmontonian shouldn’t be anywhere near where decisions are made about infrastructure. I understand some people believe they should have a...

I'm obsessed with the implication here that elitists have pedestrians as their priority or that those who don't or can't drive are themselves the elitists. As for how much people "love" driving, I don't think anyone I've spoken to in my life has expressed joy about driving downtown; it is a poor...

Could be hard for some people, but most people can say Saskatchewan and Wetaskiwin which I'd argue are very similar words; the only difference is that Wîhkwêntôwin is spelt correctly.

80 km/h just seems too slow. I’ve always thought it felt fast for the design and maybe that it should go down to 100 maybe even 90 where the poorly drawn red line is shown below but 80 seems sluggish, much like it feels sluggish on most of the Whitemud. Of course it’s in the name of safety but...

Yup that's correct, my point was that the current LRT service including Metro and Capital Lines had a ridership lower than 135,000 according to the APTA report which makes me think the figures given for the Valley line were monthly ridership numbers. It's possible the current actual ridership is...
