Our guest speaker this week was Alexander Pecuh from the city of Edmonton.
Alexander is with the City Transportation Department and he talked about the plans for expansion of our LRT “rapid” transit system.
Alexander advised that construction of our LRT system started in 1978 with the Edmonton to Clareview line.
Currently they are experiencing some problems with the signalling system for the Metro line but the contractor “Thales Canada” has an otherwise very good reputation.
Construction for the Valley Line SE to Millwoods is currently underway and it is expected to be completed in 2020.
The next stage will be construction of the Valley Line to Lewis Farms.
