#yeglrt — Public Fediverse posts

This brand new #SharedUsePath has been open maybe a week. I assume the driver jumped out and triumphantly yelled, “first!” The workers were not there due to the LRT construction. #BikeTooter #yeglrt yegbike

75% of Edmontonians don’t feel safe taking public transit: CityNews poll

https://www.reddit.com/r/Edmonton/comments/1fqb3gw/75_of_edmontonians_dont_feel_safe_taking_public/

I'm pretty shocked that 25% of people are oblivious to the danger.

"The cost to install the fare gates [and] CCTV cameras is estimated at $4.2 million. The operating costs for the pilot are estimated to be $3 million."

"...[the program] will need to identify a funding source, as the pilot would cost more than it would generate in additional revenue..."

This ain't it, #yegCC.

So, what you're saying is that not even crossing arms, bells, and flashing lights are enough to stop drivers from making illegal movements and colliding with trains?

Interesting.

But, y'know, people who ride bikes should be forced to pay for insurance or something.

381 infractions in 48 hours. Maybe we should have kept 102 Ave car free.

@Daveography Yup, got to watch from 22nd floor across from Churchill Square. They also closed Central #yeglrt and cops had the audacity to tell people to walk to Central Station cause it was "safer.' #yeg #yegcc

I didn’t actually ride the new #yeglrt, I had a plane to catch in less than one minute, but Lyle Lanley was right, it floats as softly as a cloud.

So glad it’s finally open. Hope the City builds back and densifies around the stations once it sees how small of a footprint such an urban LRT needs.

One last photo going downhill before we get off at Muttart.

Heading back toward downtown, just past Davies Station.

My turn to try the new #ValleyLine! So far it's a really smooth ride, and faster than I expected.

I don't know who did this but 🤣

A survey about transit in Edmonton.

It's centered around the Valley Line but has some very general questions about comfort, usability, safety, etc. as well.

Didn't stop to get a photo, but saw a crew doing a deep clean on one of the #yegDT Valley Line LRT stops as I was biking home.

That's gotta be a good sign, right?🤞

Edmonton mayor pleads for "immediate action" on bail reform after stabbing death at LRT station

https://www.reddit.com/r/Edmonton/comments/14zl2gj/edmonton_mayor_pleads_for_immediate_action_on/

Yesterday, watched a vehicle turn left illegally across the LRT tracks from 102 Ave.
Today, witnessed a truck drive the wrong way down 102 Ave for several blocks.

Why did we bother letting cars on this road again?
