I really wish more of Edmonton's street lights can be upgraded from low-pressure sodium lamps that emit dimly-light orange light to LED lamps that emit white light. These upgrades appear to be done in a haphazard fashion.

Not so fast! What is the impact on the natural living environment? Of course there are lots of studies and news articles on this.

Yes. I think the constraints of the slope may be an issue and I wonder if they were waiting for the development nearby (Sedona) to occur, which looked like it would free up some space on the other side of the road.

The only reason why I avoid the QE2/Hwy 39 interchange is due to the numerous traffic lights between the QE2 and the Hwy 19 roundabout.
