- "In keeping with the commitment to provide a competitive
alternative to automobile travel, the Transportation Master Plan recommends the extension of the
existing LRT line deep into South Edmonton."
- "Specifically, the LRT line would extend from its existing
terminal at the University campus to Heritage Mall using the 114/113/111 Street corridor. The extension
would be predominantly on surface except for a transition section south of the University campus.
Grade separations with roadways at key intersections may need to be considered in order to isolate the
LRT from vehicular congestion and to maintain the travel time reliability and superiority it is
intended to deliver."
- Priorities in the Next Ten Years:
. . . "Construct South LRT extension from University to Heritage including transit priority
measures/improved bus access from West Edmonton and Millwoods/Meadows to the LRT extension."
|
- "Develop and maintain an integrated system of roadways,
public transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities and services to support and enhance Edmonton as a
growing, vibrant and culturally diverse city in which people choose to live and work."
- "Provide and maintain a transportation system which
protects and enhances the Edmonton Capital Region's ability to keep and attract business, investment and
tourism in an increasingly competitive global marketplace."
- "Make effective and efficient use of the transportation
system."
- "Mitigate the community impacts of the transportation
system."
- "Support initiatives which encourage the reduction of
transportation-induced impacts on Edmonton's natural environment."
