end of the line as of this year,
Had a quick chat with one of the motormen and he mentioned that it's unlikely there's any work on extending the line to Whyte anytime soon, & something about the hold up is that there's some conflicts over a segment of province owned land. Anyone? I would hope they can have the extension opened for the 2020 season. Lets get on with it, they got their DP back in May!

Another B.S. government stall for a good concept and follow-through project.

A bunch of new rail was piled up next to the parking lot at the Knox Church today. For the expansion? ?

^ That would be great if they are preparing for the expansion.

High Level Bridge Streetcar season cancelled
The High Level Bridge Streetcar will not be running at all in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic, according to the Edmonton Radial Railway Society (ERRS).

Dunno if there is a dedicated thread yet, but I saw ERRS has rail sections built up for their extension to Whyte Ave. Very exciting to see, and impressive given the covid situation! We're lucky to have an organization and resource like this in our city!

Have they mentioned anything about increasing service to go along with the extension?

That's awesome news! I hope the ERS has the funding or receives some more to increase the capacity of the line also. There's one passing loop and a 2nd terminal at the Jasper Ave station, but I'm not sure if this would be enough for the increased service capacity later on. From what I understand ERRS had 2 streetcars for the line (they had three but streetcar 601 was shipped back to Hannover, Germany) and I hope they can order at least 1 more to ensure that the capacity is there. Who knows what other expansions will happen down the line...
