102 Ave is completely closed between 104 St and 102 St, so I hope they'll begin hooking up the VLW line to the VLSE line sometime this winter or spring. The sidewalks on both sides of 102 Ave are still open, pedestrians can access the Atrium restaurant.

103 Street could be quite busy come playoff time.

Edmonton is filling out nicely with alternative modes of transportation. I don't expect it to be finalized with what is already under construction -- I see several aerial trams in Edmonton's future, a river conveyance, an expansion of the Radial Railway and extensive fingering of MUP and bicycle routes throughout the City. If we continue to propose solid ideas and projection of future possibilities the City will "get there" in a leadership position with exceptional character and artful build-outs to its credits. However, we should not be willing to accept these "candy-cane lane" 6-storey constructs as moving us closer to the utopia we are all dreaming of.

long discussion thread on reddit re traffic light timing on 104ave. Have to admit, I also find the light cycles long.

Solution for the left turns: HAVE NO LEFT TURNS. They're inefficient, unsafe, waste a lot of space and make it slower for everyone. This was such a wasted opportunity to get rid of them at least on 104 Ave.
I will die on this hill.

I wish these intersections could have left turn restrictions during certain times. For example, 109 Street at 104 Avenue Westbound could have no left turn restrictions from 3:30-6:00 pm.

Please, everyone, submit these on 311 or email Jennifer from Marigold here: jennifer.sheehan@marigoldinfra.ca
I’ve been fighting with them about the same issue on 95ave and 156. Takes 2 minutes for the full cycle to go around. Cars often clear the intersection in less than 20 seconds and then sits empty while everyone idles cars and pedestrians freeze.

A big hard NO.
Either have left turns or no left turns. Having left turn restrictions during certain hours of the day is what confuses drivers, who proceed to wait until they can turn left anyway, pissing off other drivers and pedestrians (looking at you, 101 Street at Jasper Ave).

Better signal timing fixes this. Agreed with Gronk, driving downtown is such a mess in the mornings because drivers ignore the banned left turns from 7-9am. People who want left turns banned all together are just silly and likely never drive anywhere ever. Goodluck achieving that, people will revolt if that happens, even if only along 104 ave.
