The original timelines of 24-36 weeks for many of these….how many weeks have they already been worked on? My sense is that we’re 2 years in to a number of these…unsure how they count the weeks though.

Anyone know more? Like are we not at 50-100+ weeks on some of these roads shown to be 36 in the agreement?

36 weeks means it could be over 2 construction years like the document mentions. Also I believe this is strictly road works, so sidewalks etc. most of these areas have had utility relocations, duct work, abandonments etc over the last 3 construction years but that might not qualify as “road works”
 
I like that the intersections (e.g. 104 Ave/SPR at 109, 116, 124, 142, 149 and 156 Street) would be staggered. Perhaps the work around MacEwan couild be done while school is out.
 
Here is my prediction. Time and money will be spent on figuring out the effects of completely shutting down major intersections. Meanwhile the construction schedule is up in the air somewhat. Information comes back that traffic will be a gong show. We go back to the original plan to keep traffic moving during construction.
I might be totally wrong but if intersections are totally closed down, there will probably be even more complaints about construction and minds of those in power will be changed again.
Let's try and have the resources needed to complete the current plan and do it, not change tack halfway through.
Just my thoughts and like I say I could be totally wrong :)
 
People said the same thing before transed closed 95ave…. At the end of the day city administration doesn’t really care
 
My biggest complaint is the lack of quality in the temporary paving they do as work progresses and changes sides. Seems to me it's no more difficult or expensive to do the job correctly. The paving as is, and if you drive these sections you know, bone jarring and vehicle damaging.

The constant bad repaving, redrawing of lines, and rerouting while developing the SE leg was atrocious. So far it seems like the west line has been a bit better, but maybe I'm just not on it enough.

I thought they would be, but I double checked the December 3 line-wide notice about upcoming changes, and realized that the work area shading covers the whole roadway, not just the west side they'll be moving to. Perhaps that was an oversight, but maybe they'll actually be closing both sides. There should be a site-specific notice before anything changes though, which will have more details.

I think the map shows the northbound lane clear with the turning arrows at the 107 Street/104 Avenue intersection.
