Good day for Edmonton Transit


Our future West and South East LRT Corridors with stations.

Edmonton councillors today voted to approve the new South East and West LRT alignments.  This is a great victory for Edmonton that has been LRT devoid unlike other cities around the world.  I was worried for a second there, it looked like city council was going to send the West LRT back to the drawing board to consider the 87th and 107th avenue corridors.  However I should have known better, our City council knows what is best for Edmonton and voted to show it.

If you are not familiar with the new LRT expansions proposed I would suggest you take a look at the below links.

For some quick info, the city has produced these booklets:
