That business park appears to be about 10 km south of the "design phase" Heritage Valley Park & Ride and about 5 km south of the projected terminus of the current SW LRT expansion.

"The Capital Line business case is currently with the federal government for review and submission to the federal Treasury Board by the fall of this year."

I didn't realize they weren't doing the full build out to Desrochers-Allard right away.

The feds have been in Calgary and Vancouver recently to announce funding for the Green Line and Expo Line Extension respectively. It sounds like Edmonton's announcement is scheduled for this fall but it would've been nice if they made a stop here.

Eventually it will go to the airport, or just to the east of it closer to the mall with a spur to the terminal, ‘twas on drawings that were out when the mall was being talked about. It will run right through discovery and by then it will be built out with a few thousand people working there so it will get its own station I’m sure. You may have a grey beard by then though.

I want this LRT to go right to the airport arrivals lounge, maybe as far as the adjacent Renaissance Hotel. I want absolutely none of this Nisku mall/shuttle business.

Muttart LRT stop - construction update

Black Star · #**10366** Posted **Jul 16, 2021, 1:05 AM**

I dare say its looking great.........

Coldrsx · #**10367** Posted **Jul 16, 2021, 2:45 AM**

River Valley Access, Ski Club, Edmonton Queen, the Muttart and Folk Fest will never be the same and in a very positive way.

Coldrsx · #**10368** Posted **Jul 16, 2021, 1:31 PM**

Edmonton's newest river valley stop 'Muttart' that will provide access to the Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton Queen Riverboat, trailhead for Millcreek, access to the Edmonton Ski Club and will be very helpful for major events like Folk Fest as it is a short walk away.

Tawatinaw walkway is joined.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**10370** Posted **Jul 17, 2021, 2:30 AM**

The MUP of the Tawatina Bridge is not joined yet, but very close. After that, they'll need to install railings and such.

Drumbones2 · #**10371** Posted **Jul 17, 2021, 5:50 AM**

Oh. That was behind the bushes on Airboys photo. Honest mistake.

Strathearn LRT stop - do you see what I see?

Coldrsx · #**10374** Posted **Jul 19, 2021, 2:53 AM**

A lot of work yet to be done... yup.

Yea I see the same ridiculous unfinished concrete ramp they can't get poured over the last three years.

If there is any method to TransEds madness, it's totally lost on me. It's been and continues to be exceedingly painful to watch them stumble towards the finish line.

Cradle-to-grave job protection is all that seems to make any sense.

DKaz · #**10377** Posted **Jul 19, 2021, 5:44 PM**

It's not a lot of concrete left to pour and acts as a deterrence against accessing the station.

A deterrence? The 'station' is a step up a curb.
Is that why they randomly sections between the tracks unpiured too and randomly show up once a year and knock off a few of them then dissapear?

They took work that was supposed to take a season and stretched it over three.

Coldrsx · #**10380** Posted **Jul 20, 2021, 3:03 AM**

...or four.

To permit what they did in certain key areas along the route better be a lesson learned...
