Preliminary engineering for an LRT extension north of Clareview station was completed in 2010. The City will move forward to design and construction once funding becomes available.
City Council decided the Southeast to West LRT lines are the next priority after, or concurrent with, the North LRT to NAIT.
City Council approved the Gorman community concept plan.
City Council approved the alignment and approximate station locations for the extension of the LRT from Clareview to the North City limits.
City Council approved a new criteria for LRT Route Planning and Evaluation. This criteria reflected a shift in the City’s strategic planning direction, as reflected in The Way We Move and The Way We Grow.
For LRT and Transit investments, the original goal was to minimize travel times and increase ridership, but the new focus was finding a balance of travel time and shaping land use.
At this time, planning studies were underway for a West LRT line. However, the change in policy direction led to a decision to re-evaluate potential west routes.
In 2009, the City also completed a long-term study to define the future size, scale and operation of Edmonton’s LRT system. The Network Plan calls for the potential development of five LRT lines across the City.
For lines that don’t physically connect into the existing system, such as the Valley Line, the Network Plan called for the development of Urban LRT. This means the system should have smaller, more frequent stops that are better connected to the surrounding community.
