I would rather see that crossing underground or trenched. However, I'm willing to live with it as proposed so long as the other two are underground--137 Avenue most of all. But you're right, having an underground/trenched station immediately before and after a street-level station with an...

Jack Campbell's now trying to do the opposite.

No, let's stick with the underground/trenched stations at these locations. It seems that in this instance the City is making the right decision for the long-term. Particularly at 137 Avenue, where an at-grade crossing would be a disaster. North of the CN rail yard, the line will be running...

No one's asking her to "run" the City of Edmonton--she has one lone vote on a council of thirteen.

Yeah, the electorate made a few mistakes in 2021--the worst being voting out Bev Esslinger and Moe Banga.

Valid point. He doesn't have enough gas left in the tank to command that price. He's more than seven years off his single Art Ross Trophy.

Sad news about a former Oiler. Sending positive thoughts to Andy Moog and his family. https://www.houston-today.com/news/bc-hockey-legend-andy-moog-diagnosed-with-cancer-7114978

And look at the number of car/train (not to mention pedestrian) accidents Calgary has had on its at-grade sections. Edmonton has had exactly zero car/train accidents on the sections where the train is either underground or grade separated. As to your second point, I wouldn't put much faith in...

Well, if worst comes to worst I'm hearing good things about Macklin Celebrini.

They're getting a better player back in Draisaitl. Why would we make that deal? Two words: Erin Basil.

I don't draw my conclusions based on members' self-descriptions or avatars, but rather on the positions they take. A Calgarian would advocate for surface running LRT and against grade separation because it's a decision (read: mistake) the city made decades ago and it's what that community is...

But United (Denver, Chicago, Newark) and Delta (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Detroit) also have hubs where they deal with cold weather and yet their OTP is miles ahead of AC and WS.

To Vegas Golden Knights: Leon Draisaitl C Jack Campbell G To Edmonton Oilers: Jack Eichel C Erin Basil GF Jiri Patera G This deal solves multiple problems for the Oilers. It gets rid of Campbell and his contract, both of which are albatrosses around the team's neck. It provides for an...

I'm almost convinced that you are an actual Calgarian at this point. What other reason would there be for your opposition to giving Edmonton proper infrastructure? Why else would you support something substandard when a growing city deserves public facilities and a transportation network that...

Traffic volume on Ellerslie is only going to grow as development continues in the area. Elevation will almost certainly be necessary. @Yeggy insists that the presence of the Henday makes expanding Ellerslie unnecessary but it's important to remember that the Henday does not provide direct access...

Consider Vancouver's Canada Line. The cut-and-cover tunnel build was hugely disruptive on Cambie Street when the line was being constructed (which is why a somewhat different method is being used for the Broadway extension to the MIllennium Line). But since the line opened, how disruptive has...

We're going to regret not elevating the Valley Line SE at Bonnie Doon and building a proper Davies-style station (instead of the bus shelter they have now). If and when the Bonnie Doon site is redeveloped with additional density and housing, the current line and "station" (bus stop) will prove...

Where Edmonton has failed to grade separate because it cut corners to save money and because city councils at the time wanted to be cute, there have been years of problems as a result. University Avenue, where the city cheaped out and failed to either run the LRT underground or in a trench...

It's possible to both "give communities access to the system" and to tunnel or elevate where appropriate. Ottawa's LRT has had its share of problems (they clearly picked the wrong vehicle, and the partnership was in over its head) but the route itself is excellent. It is entirely...

Oilers management has been horrific at finding and developing talent for decades. This is the same organization that chose Selmar Odelein (who?) in 1984 when a guy named Patrick Roy was available (so, for that matter, was Luc Robitaille). In 1985 they picked Scott Metcalfe over Joe Nieuwendyk...
