Are there any pictures of what this will look like?

Stunning design. Does anyone know the architecture firm behind this?Not really a rendering, but there's this in the Capital Line South Fly-Through:
I have no doubt that P3 will be the process under the UCP and teams are quietly being assembled in anticipation. But a new Government in 2023 might select another procurement process unless the UCP speed up the process and lock it in contractually for a P3 or some variation including “operation”. I don’t think they will be doing any detailed Functional Programming on this hospital. Look for the private sector to assist in contract specifications and AHS sidelined as much as possible.I doubt the design has been assigned to an architect yet.

Few things are more Edmonton than a render of a billion-dollar mass-transit extension that shows how efficiently we can move people through low density sprawl, greenbelts, and utility corridors without the risk of having any stops where people live, work, shop, or generally need to go on any sort of regular basis.Not really a rendering, but there's this in the Capital Line South Fly-Through:
They have a pretty extensive team of consultants that have been doing a lot of planning (including functional programming) for a few years now. AHS is quite heavily involved in the whole process. Not sure if the exact delivery model has been decided yet, but like you said, a new government could completely change everything.I have no doubt that P3 will be the process under the UCP and teams are quietly being assembled in anticipation.

Won't the hospital be a place where people work?Few things are more Edmonton than a render of a billion-dollar mass-transit extension that shows how efficiently we can move people through low density sprawl, greenbelts, and utility corridors without the risk of having any stops where people live, work, shop, or generally need to go on any sort of regular basis.
"Ride LRT! But also, make sure you have a car if your travel plans are anything other than commuting between a hospital and post-secondary institution."
bringing high quality transit to these areas is good in a vacuum, but the impact it has on the rest of the city needs to be considered. The suburbs need good transit for sure, but there are many other areas of the city that needed it a long time ago.Few things are more Edmonton than a render of a billion-dollar mass-transit extension that shows how efficiently we can move people through low density sprawl, greenbelts, and utility corridors without the risk of having any stops where people live, work, shop, or generally need to go on any sort of regular basis.

At the very least, if they are building these communities at the same time as the LRT, it should be transit focused and transit oriented development. This community has a great opportunity, there is no other recent examples in the City of a community being built at the same time as a good transit connection. Often times the argument for the car dependant and car oriented nature of the suburbs is lack of mobility and transit in these new areas.bringing high quality transit to these areas is good in a vacuum, but the impact it has on the rest of the city needs to be considered.

Yep it's going to be an interesting one--hell, even the recent energy prices should this trend continue for the next 2-3 years could completely change the process if Alberta is bringing in surplus' to the tune of billions a year.They have a pretty extensive team of consultants that have been doing a lot of planning (including functional programming) for a few years now.
