does anyone knows if they're removing the boulevard trees in 104st?
These ones at the centre of the street:

And one way or the other the tracks down the middle of 104 th Avenue is a done deal. I think the only real thing that the city has to figure out is for future LRT, do we build LRT to move people quickly and efficiently with very little interaction with the roadway like a lot of the capital line is, or do we build more trams through the city that does interact with roads and can tend to be slower to a certain degree and can potentially slow traffic a bit more due to its design?

That was thought about, debated, and decided before the VLSE was built. Heck, the thinking heavily influenced the design of the Metro Line North of 105 Ave.

It should have been elevated over the entirety of 104th. And please spare me the tired arguments about the 'urban realm' or costs. Elevated over 104th (especially at what will forever now be the gong show at 109 st) would have looked quite urban. It seems to work in Vancouver. As for costs - when it comes to generational infrastructure like this, it's ALWAYS better to spend up front, rather than trying to fix it later on.

Yeh. We had this debate 10 years ago you are a bit late to the party

I don't think so, they aren't in the way of LRT construction.

They are shown in the valley line west booklet as well:

Bold choice of music made me chuckle.

I hope that 102 Street LRT access can be maintained from Rogers Place.

Great pictures. But wrong thread, this should be for the one in Holyrood.

Looks like most of the deep utility work and ocs foundations are done to 103rd street

I wonder where the switchtracks will be built.
