They are installing concrete curbs and jersey barriers.

From Paths for People's Instagram today.

I might have to head down and take a look over the next few days....

they paved both of the approach paths last night and left the bridge 'open' this morning without barricades but later this afternoon it looks like the barricades are back so not sure that the bridge is officially open. in any case the deck looks done but still has some tools and garbage sitting on it.

Barricades back on Tuesday too. Hopefully, they open it soon because the detour down to Snow Valley is horrible.

They still haven't fixed the path that has been crushed by heavy machinery. Anything similar for a vehicle detour would be unacceptable, but fair game for active transport detours, apparently.
 
New 113St MUP to Kingsway Ave (the crossing and Kingsway Ave MUP to 122st will be completed in 2026)

Nice path southbound with views of downtown.

No roadway space was taken north of 111Ave.

113st street parking was removed south of 111Ave for this permanent two way bike lane. Traffic now one way.

No bike sensor at 111Ave and 107Ave crossings. The113st path connects to network at 105Ave here.

Is there a chance these haven’t been put in yet and will be next year? Are there beg buttons (or whatever you call them) to get the light to change like at 107 ave by Manchester Square?

The light at 107Ave/113st does not change right away when the crossing button is pressed by pedestrians or cyclists.

There was no traffic on 107Ave in either direction when I was there and so I could have just gone across, but I waited to see and it was somewhere from 45-60 seconds wait for light to change (and it had been green prior to me arriving at intersection - it didn't go through a walking cycle just before I arrived).

The 111Ave light changed right away when pressing the button.

I hope they can install sensors for 107 AV this season, but that would be optimistic. Usually my timing with riding along 113 ST is just right and I can get the lights to change just as I push the button, but with the wind slowing me down yesterday, I was waiting a surprisingly long time for the light cycle to go at both 107 and 111 Av.

I'm also disappointed that the City seems to have cut back on a proposed asphalt path that branched off the MUP at 113 AV and 113 ST that would connect to the Kingsway/Princess Elizabeth intersection.
 
Hey, I used to live in that apartment -- the Viking Arms (before I bought my first house) pictured in the second photo above.
Viking Arms is at Southgate (106 St & 46 Ave), this is West Edmonton Village in Callingwood. Very similarly developed pockets of the 70s style concrete blocks, but wouldn't be your former home in this case!
