Edmonton is running Phase 2 of public engagement regarding “Mass Transit: Network Implementation for 1.25 Million People” project. There is an online survey focused on street design options that will allow for non-LRT mass transit on key roads, particularly Gateway and Calgary Trail, 97 Street, and 87 Avenue near West Edmonton Mall. There are also online working sessions that participants can register for, regarding each segment of road. Be sure to make your voice heard!
