I thought this issue was worthy of discussion in its own right since Edmonton is practically unique in its peers in not having a intermodal transit hub, or even a potential location identified for one. Following on a motion in 2017 by Councillor Knack, the following areas were identified as hub / interchange locations in Edmonton's draft City Plan:
Ideally, an intermodal transit hub would be situated in the inner city (if not outright downtown) and consolidate operations for multiple services under one roof including (but not limited to):
- Rail: Metro, LRT, Commuter, Intercity, HSR
- Bus: Motorbus, Coach, Trambus, DATS
- Rideshare: Taxi, Carpool, On-demand
- Cycling and Micromobility
There have been previous potential locations that were identified but have since been rendered non-viable, including the site of the new RAM and the Edmonton Via station. This thesis paper in particular is an excellent example proposing the Jasper terminal of the High Level Streetcar, but Procura is now preparing to break ground on that site for the Stables at Mayfair.
