Spoke to a rep and they said 'hoping to open before Sept 1'.

Aiming for school start. Not surprising. While it would've been nice to take it for Folk Fest, it doesn't make sense to target one off events versus the start of school where you have regular ridership.

Looks like testing at 85 Street and 95 Avenue:

I hope further renovations will occur at Louise McKinney Park so that the riverside promenade can be extended under the Tawatina Bridge. I don't like the abrupt stop of this promenade.

It's now July - the Tawatina Bridge benches that were forthcoming this past spring still haven't been installed.

Honeybees take over downtown LRT signal light

A swarm of bees covered a signal light outside Edmonton City Centre mall Tuesday afternoon.

Why? Beecause!

 

[Dubas]

I'm sure the bees will be cited as a reason for another 6 month delay

 

[Greenspace]

^They have been removed

I guess in Shakespeare's equation "to bee or not to bee" the "not to bees" won out.

Looks like the new transit peace officers have BEEn hard at work!

Last of the project trailers beside the Library are gone this morning.

I hope that doesn't mean that they are finished.

There is an architectural exterior panel scope missing, no?
