As another resident of the area, centre-running would be a bit better for the pedestrian experience. A single lane in each direction and reduced left turns means slower traffic and fewer interaction points. In both options, sidewalks are being expanded and centre running lanes means its easier...

There will probably be too many siding materials but its great seeing more density in strathcona. The BRT will likely spur a lot more like it too.

Specifically for the curbside lanes option. It doesn't state that they'd use the centre-running lanes and the Option 2 designs place the regular bus stops on the curbs and not the centre stations.

^^ generally agree on all fronts but what happens with every other bus that isn't BRT? Seems like they'd just get stuck behind the single lane of traffic and achieve possibly worse times through whyte. If they're directed to use the BRT lanes instead then their stop frequency is drastically...

I even think there's enough room for the station right after the 85th street intersection. Its already only one traffic lane before the intersection, delaying the change to 2 lanes and shortening the right turn lane a little bit doesn't seem like it would be a big issue.

As much as I love the idea of centre running lanes (fewer interactions with other vehicles, feels more like a train), the curbside lanes might be better in this case. Previously I didn't think about how other bus routes wouldn't use the centre lanes because they'd have fewer stations than they...

This is the next step from the temporary ones they've done before. It's permanent, but way way cheaper and quicker than a rebuild. Full rebuilds happen on a specific schedule for the street and the bike lane will be incorporated into the design whenever that happens (30 years cycles for most...

102 ave really is the best choice for a car-free spine downtown, and that one car lane just doesn't provide enough benefits to justify it over utilizing it for better car-free uses. Shift the bike lane to the car lane and have the sidewalk take up the bike lane so that festivals and plazas can...

could instead turn it into a pedestrian overpass/plaza

might be cheaper to put some pens there instead

I'd be fine with any of them, but option 3 would make such a great use out of the LRT station.

As a layman I agree with these points, but I do think we should get the low hanging fruit out of the way as well: pedestrianizing rice howard way and 104th st (at least between jasper and 103 ave). And I know there's hesitation for it, but doing all this would be more justification for...

god I hope so

Took the bus the other day, I haven't used my arc card in a while so I wasn't sure how much I had on it (didn't bother checking). Decided to tap using apple pay and it worked really smoothly and was super convenient. I might go back to the arc card if I start taking transit regularly again, but...

some art would look great on it
