Any LRT extension from downtown to the community of Mill Woods must cross the North Saskatchewan River. Any such crossing within City limits would require development within Bylaw 7188 boundaries. From 2008-2009, the City of Edmonton Transportation Department undertook a comprehensive, multi-step decision-making process to identify a recommended corridor for the LRT Southeast Extension. Numerous alignments were initially considered and subjected to a fatal flaw analysis. From these, four proposed alignments were analyzed more closely, using weighted criteria approved by City Council; public input was sought throughout the process. The process culminated in identification of the “Connors Road Corridor” as the recommended corridor, followed by City Council approval of that corridor in December 2009.

  • Getting 'Er Done: Cultural Planning and the Phantasmagoria of Public
    Getting ‘er Done: Cultural Planning and the Phantasmagoria of Public Art in Edmonton By Ariel MacDonald A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Human Geography Earth and Atmospheric Sciences University of Alberta Ⓒ Ariel MacDonald, 2021 Abstract This research provides the first comprehensive account of Edmonton’s public art collection. It asks: How is public art understood and practiced, what landscapes do these understandings and practices give rise to, and what is the relationship between such landscapes and broader processes of urban development? Edmonton’s first public artwork was commissioned or purchased in 1957, and the collection has since grown to include over 260 artworks. Central to the collection’s growth was the adoption of a percent for art policy in 1991, whereby one percent of qualifying capital expenditure budgets have gone towards the creation of public artworks. Data were collected through site visits to public artworks, qualitative interviews with key informants working in the administration of public art in Edmonton and an examination of three key planning documents. The central data set, gathered from site visits to the artworks in the collection, was analyzed in three segments: (1) an overview of the collection noting its spatial and temporal growth; (2) the application and discussion of an interpretive tag system; and (3) the description of 12 exemplary artworks in the collection. In order to explore the relationship between the landscape of public art in Edmonton and broader processes of urban development, the theoretical lens of phantasmagoria was utilized. Popularized in early 19th century Paris, the phantasmagoria was a spooky lantern show where images were projected onto walls or screens but their source was obscured.
