The LRT is coming.

https://blatchfordedmonton.ca/lrt/

The transit mall design will feature:

A separated commuter cycle track along the entire length of the LRT.

Very few crossings for vehicle traffic which will limit commute time and promote safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Public plazas designed next to the LRT stations will add extra amenity space to the community and a chance to sit and sip your coffee (or tea) while waiting for the train.

Treed boulevards along the length of the tracks which will make the LRT corridor feel more like an active community street meant for walking and cycling.
