^Such a missed opportunity for a mixed use building.

All the paths and sidewalks are icy this morning. Be careful

Maybe the turnover is due to coming up with a Summerside plan for 240 and Michener to look like a suburban plan. Bland and not innovative. Likely not the highest ROI either. I’m just guessing though.

This is likely what Rail Alberta will publish sometime this summer. Won’t just be high speed , but commuter and regional all in one planning document. https://www.railwayage.com/passenger/high-performance/cascadia-hsr-55-2mm-for-planning/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=49752

Nice article. Except Canada unlike the US, does not have a Passenger Priority bill to ensure passenger trains get first access which is important for scheduled service.

VIA chooses to keep the long time to arrive in Jasper at sunrise. The CN tracks are now majority double tracked from Edmonton to Jasper. If VIA had any interest in the west they could have a 4 to 4.5 hour train trip quite easily. Not great yet but with track improvements, 3 hours would not...

Bixi would be awesome.

-Provincial govt will finish the rail study and launch Edmonton to Jasper daily service within a 24 month period (ordering of equipment) as it needs little rail upgrades compared to all the other potential routes. -Oct civic election will have a large turnover of councillors and a new mayor...

Has the city changed the policy to add private contractors for MUPs, sidewalks and bike paths? In Royal Gardens this morning at 6 when I was walking the dogs, noticed a private operator and trailer parked beside a cleaned off path. Then noticed a green John Deere with plow motoring along...

This is Southgate bus at 3 pm. Not cleaned at all today. Anybody with mobility issues or wheelchair would not be able to pass. Why is this acceptable?

And don't forgot the Mazankowski still has the 7th and 8th floors that are not being used other than for a bit of storage. Once Stollery is built, if we use the existing space well we could have the equivalent of a new hospital in terms of beds. I would still rather have the SW hospital too...

Glazing up to 3rd Floor now

When snow removal is done way better than Edmonton. We should be aiming to be as good or better than Montreal. Yes may involve a bit more taxes but I believe the majority of residents would be supportive if they saw this in action in a timely manner.

Nice piece. Well written compared to some of the fluff that is out there.

Hmmm data centres being quiet. The hum of all those servers will scare off all wildlife. I will believe when I see it running. O'Leary is a great salesman but seems to drop off on execution of a lot of things.

I will believe it when it’s actually running

Interesting research as to why transit building is so expensive in Canada. https://stateofcitiessummit.ca/files/041224_Understanding-the-Drivers-of-Transit-Construction-Costs-in-Canada-A-Comparative-Study.pdf

Makes me sad that for these drawings, high school parking takes more land than the school itself.

Yup, then Monday morning it’s done. But for 48+ hours it’s not passable
