630 Ched has reported that the West LRT concept plan was approved. The next phase of the West LRT route is the design stage.
If you were involved in the West LRT concept planning and had attended the meetings and workshops please let us know in the comments section if you feel that your voice and ideas were listened to. Was the process and planning stage fair?
Also let us know what issues the West LRT will create and how the City of Edmonton plans to address these issues?
Some questions Westmount residents have are can we expect more commuter traffic through the neighbourhood now that popular access routes have been cut off? How will people on foot be able to travel from one side of the tracks to the other safely? What will be done to keep people safe at train stops and train stations? Will crime potentialy rise for nearby homes and property around train stops and train stations? How does the city intend to deal with this issue? How can we the residents of Westmount continue to ensure that the West LRT route fits properly into our neighbourhood?
Sound off in our comments section if you can provide more information on this new element to our neighbourhood or if you can answer any of the above questions.
