Brad Smid, P.Eng., our speaker on January 26th, pictured above, is the City of Edmonton's Project Director for Edmonton's Valley Line Stage 1; a 13 km urban-style, low-floor LRT system which will run from downtown to southeast Edmonton. The Valley Line is the City's largest infrastructure project to date, and its first project to be delivered as a Public-Private-Partnership (P3).

Brad has been involved in the implementation of Edmonton's recent LRT expansion projects, including the South LRT (Capital Line), North LRT (Metro Line), and Southeast LRT (Valley Line). 
 
Construction is scheduled to start here in 2016 and we were given an inauguration date of December 15th 2020. Put a mark in your calendar!
