  • LRT Network Expansion Projects Summary.Pdf
    Attachment 3 LRT Network Expansion Projects Summary This attachment outlines the status of each of the seven LRT network expansion projects. CONCEPT: Downtown Circulator The scope of the downtown circulator project includes delivering a concept plan ​ (aligned with the approved LRT Network Plan), featuring an urban-style LRT service starting from Downtown, crossing the river to the University of Alberta and east to Bonnie Doon, and connecting back to the Valley Line corridor. ● Current Project Status The preferred Centre LRT corridor was shared with stakeholders and the public for feedback at open houses in February 2018. However, the segments through the University of Alberta and adjacent to Alberta Health Services facilities require additional discussions with those key stakeholders before finalization. A Council report to provide direction on the segments of the alignment running through Downtown and along Whyte Avenue is tentatively planned for July 2018. As part of the concept planning process, the preferred route will be used to develop the alignment of the LRT, as well as the number and location of stations. to understand the ridership projections and traffic impacts . ● Communications and Public Engagement The project’s second phase of public engagement is complete. Three public engagement meetings were held in February 2018, at which the preferred route was shared and feedback on the route, stop locations, and community integration was requested. A project update and invitation to the meetings was sent to residents throughout the study area and a letter was sent to all property owners along the preferred route encouraging them to participate. An information session for the Old Strathcona Business Association was held in March 2018, and two town hall events were held at the University of Alberta in April 2018.

  • Metro Line Fact Sheet – Operations
    METRO LINE FACT SHEET – OPERATIONS For the first time in Edmonton, two different LRT lines are operating on the same set of tracks. The Capital Line continues to operate between Century Park Station and Clareview Station, while the Metro Line is designed to operate between Health Sciences Station and the new NAIT Station. LRT passengers will be able to change between the Capital Line and the Metro Line anywhere between Health Sciences Station and NAIT Station. SIGNALLING SYSTEM Light rail systems operate according to a few basic principles, including ensuring enough space between trains for the system to operate safely. Edmonton’s original LRT system, the Capital Line, has used a fixed-block signalling system, which divides the track into defined blocks and ensures there is always at least one empty block between trains. A new signalling system is being installed to manage train movements on both the Metro and Capital Lines. The communication-based train control signaling system that the Metro Line uses is a type of moving-block system, which maintains a block of space around each train rather than a block of space between each train. This allows ETS to safely tighten up the spacing between trains so they can run more frequently. It has taken the contractor much longer than anticipated to deliver the new signalling system, which has delayed the opening of the Metro Line. STAGED IMPLEMENTATION The City has developed an interim solution in order to open the Metro Line to public service as soon as possible: Fixed Block vs. Moving Block Signalling In the short term, Metro Line trains will run every 15 minutes between Century Park and NAIT.
