Also, it looks like there will be a near-side traffic signal for the new pedestrian crossing at University Ave/114St.

 

[BrettB]

That is a great development!

 

[supplanter]

Wondering when they'll be getting that crosswalk active cause those near-side lights have been up for a little while

There was a shot with the Global Edmonton helicopter and it looks like there’s progress with the middle pier on the LRT bridge at Henday and 111 Street.

 

[Airboy]

Yes they are well above grade on the middle pier. went by on Sat.

Unsure if vandalism or temp fluctuations, but MANY of the pedway windows at Century Park were not in good shape the other day. It was very consistent, which makes me believe it was a product failure, but odd given how long they have been there.

 

[MacLac]

As in “all of the windows are smashed?”

 

[IanO]

Many of them are, but it looks more like a uniform failure than anything.

Odd.

^ probably insufficient allowance for freeze-thaw expansion/contraction for the sealed units -- someone probably built these units to spec without the proper allowances and when the cold came... c-r-a-a-a-ck. They may have realized it at the time of installation, but since they were already built said, "let's see what happens!?!"

Odd.

Two are cracked between the platform and the transit centre. They have been this way for quite a while. I don’t see any impact points so I’m guessing it wasn’t vandalism.

Expect Hyundai Rotem cars which are longer than the U2s and SD160s.

4 car full length trains instead of the current 5.

 

[chrisvazquez7]

What does that mean for full capacity? Will a four-car train have the same capacity as an existing five-car SD160? Do you know the model we might be ordering from Hyundai Rotem?

Odds are that capacity is actually higher, just by reducing the number of cars (less wasted space)

I'd hazard a guess each car would be 30-32m long. Based on my assumption, a 4 car train would likely carry more passengers than an existing 5 car train, on account of additional passenger space from 2 less cabs, and the coupler space been 2 cars. Regular weekday consists would likely be 3 cars trains which would be 90-96m long vs 100m long of an existing 4 car train, but again because of less cabs and coupling space probably likely the same capacity or slightly more of a 4 car train.
A 2 car train would be 60-64m vs 75m for an existing 3 car train. Probably less capacity.

Edit: Just checked with a source. Specs included 31m car length with 195 passenger capacity, so that means more capacity in a 4 car 31m train vs 5 car 25m train by 50 people, 3 car 31m train vs 4 car 25m train is the same capacity, and 2 car 31m train vs 3 car 25m train is less capacity by about 50 people.
