GUNTER: Don't expect Edmonton administration to try to correct the Valley Line LRT collision problem

Summary

65% Informative

Edmonton 's southeast Valley Line LRT has been involved in 18 collisions with vehicles and five with cyclists and pedestrians.

That’s more than two a month.

The city insists these collisions are not their fault; it hasn't got the money for meaningful improvements.

It's not far-fetched to imagine the Valley Line West will have collisions weekly if the city doesn't take meaningful (and expensive) measures.
