The light purple isn’t under construction yet, only the dark purple line, so yeah just to Ellerslie Rd

I’ve never seen the Century Park bike parkade this busy! Especially in January

This is doubly impressive given that to access it you have to go downtown and fill out a form that the service center people don’t even know exists, to get a blank white card that only works at this one place

I would be very interested to see changes in traffic counts along these three roads pre/during/post valley line construction...

My thoughts are maybe we don't need 3 multi-lane arterial roads within 1km...

Where are you starting that route from? the Capital Line South extension is only going to Ellerslie Rd in Phase 1, so WAY further away than that.

The 727 which it will connect to will get you to the library in 7 mins tho!

Very interested what comes of the route 7 when the Valley Line West opens

It follows a similar route, but since it has local stops it could be a great ridership builder

My main hope is we see frequent service on 107 ave all the way to 101 street

So excited to get this up somewhere

No offence to Edmonton, but I sorta assumed BART would be operating on an order of magnitude higher boardings than our LRT

I always underestimate the Canadian power of running half decent bus service

Wild rating distribution on this one, cannot wait to see ping pong movie

This is the planned alignment. I think it's gonna have such incredibly high ridership if done well.

It upgrades one of our busiest transit corridors, and provides access to an incredibly isolated retail street on Calgary Trail. The key will be to actually speed up buses, not just build pretty stops

Final version of the map made for Christmas! I think it looks pretty good.

I think our LRT budgets would be smaller if we didn't use them to massively expand our road infrastructure...

A ground floor facade that looks more like this would be much better. More interesting materials and less complicated.

This is in Edmonton's Trumpeter neighbourhood outside of the Henday

There is no reason why all new neighbourhood and main street commercial can't look like this across the city

I think that Wîhkwêntôwin should cede the land in blue to Queen Mary Park in exchange for a military alliance to invade Westmount and Downtown and capture the areas in red for Wîhkwêntôwin

If you haven’t been here before, the indoor garden in the Citadel is one of my favourite places in Edmonton

Such a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere

One of the best parts about taking the Valley Line is the many construction projects I get to monitor the progress of

I watched Link95, the Winspear expansion, the Edmonton Ski Club, so many plexes, and now Strathearn Heights

Why do we insist on putting fences infront of townhouses that face a fairly quiet street?

This can’t be easier for the residents who have to walk all the way around now

I am downloading Cincinnati

There are 6000 people in this neighbourhood, and the bus route sees not even 600 rides a day. With a station going here, it will either force what was once a one-seat ride to the grocery store to be a transfer, or have a competing bus route with the LRT
December 8, 2025 at 5:13 AM
I am still of the opinion that Twin Brooks should not be getting an LRT station

It is a rich single family neighbourhood that will not see densification

Is too isolated for it to improve any regional trips

It will slow down trips for the rest of the line

Can anyone say bunching?

This was the view from the 56 bus I was just on

It was so packed I was standing up against the window

I too think that these situations are equivalent to
