  • 170 Street Planning Study (Ellerslie Rd- 41 Ave
    170th Street Concept Planning Public Information Session (Ellerslie Rd to 41 Street SW) Responses to Stakeholder Comments www.edmonton.ca/roadplans November 2010 Public Involvement Introduction The following is a summary of the written questions and comments received after the June 22, 2010 Public Open House covering Ellerslie Road to 41 Avenue SW. Where possible, the project team has included a response for clarification. Philosophy Why does this proposal create a free flow facility through the Windermere community to serve what we must assume are non-residents of the community? 170 Street has been identified by the City of Edmonton and Alberta Transportation as a “Highway Penetrator” since the 1990’s. Both parties have since prepared plans for the 170 Street corridor based on that understanding. Although 170 Street will provide regional connections to the south, the infrastructure proposed for this corridor serves mostly City residents. Immediately north of Ellerslie Road, approximately 85% of the northbound traffic in the AM Peak hour and 60% of the southbound traffic in the PM Peak hour is development traffic accessing one of the three crossing arterials (Ellerslie Road, 25 Avenue SW, or 41 Avenue SW). The remainder of the traffic is regional traffic. Will land access to the Windermere ASP area be sacrificed for free flow movements in and out of Edmonton? Land access is not being sacrificed. Within the south study area, no accesses proposed by the Windermere Area Structure Plan Traffic Impact Assessment have been removed. The only change in access occurs at the four collector accesses that have become right-in/right-out intersections onto the one-way frontage roads.

  • What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan
    What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan October to December 2018 Public Engagement Summary: January 2019 What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan Project Overview The City is currently developing a plan to upgrade Terwillegar Drive, between Anthony Henday Drive and Whitemud Drive, to an expressway. An expressway is a high-capacity roadway which includes widely spaced signalized intersections. The Terwillegar Drive expressway will include up to four travel lanes in each direction, increased capacity at all intersections and the Whitemud Drive/Terwillegar Drive interchange, the potential for dedicated transit lanes and bus stops, and a shared-use path on the east side of the roadway. This is the second phase of engagement for the current Terwillegar Drive Study. Phase one was completed in early 2018 and presented freeway options for Terwillegar Drive. After analyzing the public and technical needs, an alternative solution to the freeway, an expressway, was developed. In October 2018, the City’s Urban Planning Committee unanimously accepted a motion to advance on the expressway option. For detailed information about the study and to view the draft concept plan visit: edmonton.ca/terwillegardrivestudy 2 What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan Public Engagement Process This phase of public engagement was designed to gather feedback and perspectives on the Terwillegar Drive expressway draft concept plan, including the following elements of the design: + Shared-use path: location and connections + Transit accommodation: dedicated + 142 Street pedestrian/cyclist bridge: transit lanes and bus stops bridge styles + Naturalized landscaping: locations Between October and December 2018 engagement activities were conducted with property owners, community leagues and the public.

  • 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.
