I am thrilled about what this is doing for the pedestrian realm west of downtown
When car is not the TOP or only priority, it can make for much more livable streets and neighbourhoods.

I saw guideway blocks for three sections. The Gantry crane could be busy next week.

I took a look at the two piers for the elevated guideway at 178 Street. The piers are 50 m apart, longer than the average 35-40 meter distance between the other piers. Will the 178 Street crossing be any different?

Do we know approximately how long it will it take to get from downtown to WEM?

After riding the R.E.M. myself, I do believe that this is the perfect kind of metro system for NA cities. 100km/h top speed, 2.5-5 min frequency on the main trunks, smaller trains and stations, and reutilization of existing rail infrastructure. I love the Valley Line for what it is, but damn it would've been nice to have something like the R.E.M. here even if it took longer to build out...

25-30 minutes.

Whoa that's awhile but I guess there are so many stops.

Still faster than the bus.

An hour for the whole Valley Line isnt too bad and seems to be the norm for a European crosstown tramway. Helsinki's new crosstown tramway (which is around 25 km, 2 km less than ours) takes about an hour too for one direction.

Closer to 40-45 minutes. The Valley Line West 2024 booklet says 1 hour 15 minutes for the whole 27 km line.

You’re not going all the way to the terminus if you go out to WEM though.
