Maybe they are the new pavers going in at the 101 Street and 102 Ave intersection for the LRT crossing? I know they are putting in pavers along most of 102 Ave versus asphalt and concrete.

Interesting that the existing TransEd consortium wasn't shortlisted... Wonder if they even bid, or just didn't make the cut for some reason?
101 Street is mostly open again.

Wow, it looks great, they did a real nice job. I mentioned it above, but I love the use of the brick pavers. Funnily enough, what stands out to me as one of the biggest improvements though is those new freestanding traffic lights. Up until they redid the intersection they were those super old, and cheap looking ones that just hung around on wires over the road.

Apparently they didn't bid.
"TransEd, the group of companies developing the Valley Line southeast extension, did not make a bid for the west extension, spokeswoman Sue Heuman said in an email Wednesday. Bruce Ferguson, the city’s LRT expansion and renewal manager, said each of the companies that comprise TransEd were given an opportunity to bid, but many opted not to. Bombardier, which is doing trains for the southeast extension, has indicated it would like to bid on trains for the west extension, but that part of the procurement won’t come until late" - (Source: https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/valley-line-west-lrt-shortlist-includes-snc-lavalin)

I am very impressed by the new paving treatments at the intersection. My only worry is that if utilities need to be dug up for some reason that the crosswalks, sidewalk, et al. will be patched with asphalt. I truly hope there is a healthy supply of pavers to avoid this!

@Nosirrah , agreed, the Paving Stone walk looks great. One of the many benefits of this product is the ability to remove\reuse\replace to access subsurface if need be. No worry about supply, ever. Concrete heaves and cracks and needs to be patched as does asphalt. I was a project estimator for a large landscape firm in the Kingston/Ottawa area years ago. They really know how to build with stone in that part of the country, stone & paving stone roadways hundreds of years old! The potential problem might be with the install, which has been getting better in Edmonton over the years, but usually not up to par.
