I wonder where the switchtracks will be built.

Wonder no more: https://www.edmonton.ca/sites/defau...le5_Part_1_General_redacted.pdf?cb=1775199338
Towards the bottom you'll see all of the drawings after page 1-89.

Here's a review of the LRT construction process. I think the major challenge is identifying utilities in older neighbourhoods.

I imagine that 87 Aveune North (Westbound) from 178-189 Street will have reconstruction this year.

I have a suspicion that the Misericordia connector will be the best of the entire line... I can hardly wait for it to be developed.

They are motoring along now.

Wow, lots of indoor construction on the Miz and WEM Stations!

 

[archited]

I am really interested to see how these stations would then connect to the hospital and WEM. And would it spur some residential/hotel additions at WEM. Interesting to see who might be the first to jump at the residential connection -- WEM or Southgate.

For now, I’m guessing outdoor walkways.

I posted this on UrbanToronto:

Seriously, I really wish we could acquire Edmonton's 7-module Flexities for this line [6].

They have 26 cars, while Line 6 has 18 cars. Those extra 8 cars should be enough for a Woodbine extension and service increase.

The Edmonton cars are 40.6m long, while the Citadis are 48.4m.

Edmonton could have a unified Hyundai-Rotem fleet on the Valley Line, while we can send our cars to Ottawa to alleviate their LRV shortage, and have a unified Legacy/Line 5/6 fleet.

Fantasy I know, but it would be nice...

The Flexities were meant for Toronto, with their blue marker lights, red door buttons, and TTC/Bombardier chime

I know what @smallspy said, but I'd still like to see the 15 [Kitchener-Waterloo] cars (7.5 double-consists) on Line 5.

I was wondering how Edmontonians would feel about this proposal?
