So lots of upheaval to move it back to the original opening date?

Yeah. One thing I will say is MIP (Colas and Parsons) seem far more motivated to get back on schedule than transed ever did. Extending hours, bringing more resources in, more road closures, extending work into the winter. Plus they’re communicating the issues they’ve had and plans to get back on track. Transed was 2+ years behind on the shared use path and didn’t really care. Just kept pushing the opening back
 
From the Global News article - proposed full and partial closures:

Phase 1 (April to July)​
  • 104 Avenue corridor (106 Street to 121 Street)
  • Stony Plain Road at 124 Street (full closure)
  • Stony Plain Road at 156 Street
  • 87 Avenue at Meadowlark Road
Phase 2 (July to September)​
  • 104 Avenue corridor (106 Street to 121 Street)
  • Stony Plain Road at 142 Street
  • 95 Avenue at 156 Street
Phase 3 (September to November)​
  • 104 Avenue corridor (106 Street to 121 Street)
  • Stony Plain Road at 149 Street
Pardon me for being dense, but what's the difference between these proposed partial closures and the partial closures that were already done for the past couple of years?
 
^ The 104th Ave corridor will see the biggest change with the northside (westbound lanes) carrying one lane traffic each way. This should theoretically allow for uninterrupted construction of the roadway and tracks. A significant amount of the CBD disruption should be over by year end if they do this.
