Mass transit is an additional layer of transit that boosts service to the busiest parts of the network. This project, Mass Transit: Implementing for 1.25 Million People, will be exploring new mass transit options, specifically focusing on adding non-LRT mass transit options, such as bus rapid transit or streetcar, to the transit network. There’s an opportunity to expand our transit network by adding more mass transit through “non-LRT” options in order to meet the needs of our growing city and achieve the urban city envisioned by The City Plan. Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) provides a broad range of bus-based and LRT service. Mass Transit moves a large number of people using buses, trains or LRT throughout a city. By using both LRT and bus-based mass transit, we can bring high quality transit service to all areas of Edmonton.įor more information on how these corridors were selected, please visit edmonton.ca/masstransit. While Edmonton remains focused on building out the City’s LRT network, the City Plan has identified a number of additional transit lines where bus-based mass transit might work better than LRT. Whyte Avenue, (between 99 Street & Bonnie Doon) The segment of streets (corridors) that have been preliminarily chosen for immediate mass transit implementation are: A number of factors about how these routes will change remain to be determined including spacing and location of stations and what the street design (cross-section) will look like for each. The routes will support major nodes & corridors and improve transit service using current roads. The locations of the mass transit routes were determined in the Mass Transit Planning for 1.25 Million project and The City Plan. Implementing mass transit means the street needs to change too. Looking at the street this way is referred to as cross-sections. The way the street and sidewalks are designed, from where the building, or its lot, end across to the lot on the opposite side of the street, the space in-between is known as a right-of-way.Ī right-of-way can include vehicle lanes, parking lanes, bus lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, boulevards (centre medians with plantings), sidewalk plantings, bike parking and more.ĭesigning a street means thinking about these elements and deciding which is correct for that particular street. If you are unable to attend one of the workshops, we have recorded the presentation shared at the workshop, which you can view below. Please select the corridor (or date) you would like to join and a calendar invite will be sent to you, including Zoom link. Please RSVP to join the conversation.Įach working session will dive into the details of a particular corridor. There will be four working sessions, each focusing on a different commuter corridor that has been identified for mass transit. Online Working Sessions: Join us October 19, 20, 25 or 26 to learn more about the project and help the project team design what certain mass transit corridors could look like for major roads in Edmonton.Mass Transit Principles: Share ideas about the non-LRT mass transit principles.Survey:Share your input on options for adding non-LRT mass transit to corridors around Edmonton.
