Well, I for one am going back on topic.

I've noticed that since 104 Ave was fully reopened, many folks who are turning from 104 Ave WB to 112 St SB are making U-turns onto 104 Ave EB just to go to the Tim Horton's drive-thru. Isn't that against the law, or am I out to lunch?

How soon before a car gets hit by an LRT train?
 
The only crossing gates on the Valley Line will be at the Lewis Farms OMF parking lot. They're still staying away from crossing gates at the Henday exit at 87 Ave.

They are putting gates on OMF? I thought it was completely gate free? (Not that im complaining because it means they might add more in the future)

Just for the parking lot crossing where the trains will enter/exit the OMF. South of the big T.

Yeah, I’m hoping that puts us on a slippery slope to add gates at all crossings west of WEM Station and south of Davies Station, and hopefully improve speeds. The current council seems resistant to the idea though.

Some of the crossings I don't think need crossing gates due to the very low volume of traffic that will be at some areas meanwhile other intersections that are major intersections should get the gates

The thing with gates is it brings full signal priority, so reducing delays, even with low traffic volumes it can still slow down trains.
 
I'm guessing that the Marigold crew will be clearing snow from some of the track beds this week, and possibly some tarp covers for track bed prep.
 
Reopen the lanes, just to close them again. Doing trackbed in that area doesn’t even require lane closures either
 
There are probably trucks and other vehicles with construction workers in the right lane, along with any possible staging.
 
Idk they’ve had those lanes closed for 2 full construction seasons. Seems excessive, plus they could have just waited till spring, or poured the concrete in the fall? It’s not like they’ve made huge progress since end of November, all they’ve done is work on the switch and put up some Davit arms
 
It might be difficult to keep 87 Avenue EB to two lanes. At the very least, work on the tracks could be paused when it's peak hours. I'm thinking that the westbound lanes of 87 Avenue might be rebuilt this summer. Hopefully a good chunk of this construction is done this year.
