Looks like they are adding continuous crossings on the next phase of imagine Jasper. Page was recently updated:

"Utility relocation will begin later this year and road construction will begin in 2025. Construction is anticipated to take 3 years to complete."

What are they saying is the next phase?
 
There is no link to the Imagine Jasper Ave page from the City-run Project & Plans > Downtown section of the COE website.
Someone has dropped the ball. Surprised?

Love this. Looks like raised crosswalks along the north and south sides of Jasper Ave - probably from 116 st west.

Anything is better than the mess frpm 112th west. Too bad the city has killed jasper avenue since the first days of the LRT construction...

A good part of what continues to kill Jasper Avenue is the inordinate amount of time it takes to actually complete things.

That means this 10 block long project will take roughly four and a half years (!!!!) from now until construction is finished and that’s if it finishes on time.

For perspective, it only took 12 months longer than that to complete the 1,150 km Trans Mountain Pipeline construction twinning from the County of Strathcona to Burnaby.

Definitely things seem to take too long. Any insight why this happens?

For starters:
  1. Capital budgeting from the City - I suspect this is why Jasper Ave revitalization has been done in phases.
  2. Other competing projects. Do you really want Jasper Ave to be snarled by traffic due to revitalization projects while 104 Ave is in the midst of the Valley Line LRT construction until 2027 and the Stony Plain Road Bridge over Groat Road is closed until at least the end of this year?
  3. LRT projects are a higher priority over cars. Climate change and all that.

Anyone have any idea when these stupid wood temporary traffic light posts at 109st. and Jasper will be removed and the permanent lights will be installed? It is ridiculous how long it takes this city to do things some times considering that the work on that intersection was completed last fall.

I made the above post two years ago in April 2022. This project was completed in October 2021. As of this morning, this temporary wood pole is still here. How this city is so incompetent and apathetic towards completing projects especially in premier areas of our downtown blows my mind
