A. Wong Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I had no intention of finding 7110, but it appeared in front of me while driving. Despite the filthy rear end, I looked at the fleet number and there it was! It was starting service at Clareview West on route 2: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 None that I've spotted yet. Shields have made it to as low as 4406 so far. Lots of LF's and LFR need to have them installed, but that's the lowest numbered one spotted so far. A/C retrofits have started on LFR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 4808 on 140-01 looks to have been the first bus dispatched from Kathleen Andrews. Pics on the ETS twitter and it was one of 4 buses I "tracked down" on T55 at 5:40 as being among the first out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I’m lucky that I don’t drive. Also, I’ve noticed a lot of LFR’s lately with the weird A/C unit above the driver’s cab, like this quick image I got of 4875 for instance. I see them every day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's whole purpose for being built was to replace Century Park pank n' ride. I guess it might not be complete yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is to have Heritage Valley Park and Ride near Ellerslie Road and 127 Street SW completed, so people could park there and take a bus to Century Park if they need to connect to LRT. I do not think it is complete yet. Here is an earlier article: https://globalnews.ca/news/4908245/century-park-park-and-ride-city-of-edmonton/ This may work well for those close to the new terminal, but for many, it doesn't make sense to backtrack and go further south to park (say 10-20 minutes in rush hour traffic), board a bus to take a 10-15 minute bus ride back to Century Park, then transfer again to get on the train.

M. Parsons Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 It's been ready for awhile now... " Heritage Valley Park & Ride construction was completed on time and on budget in late 2019. The shuttle service was initially targeted to begin in early 2020. However, in light of the November 2019 budget discussions, the shuttle service will open in December 2020. The City is planning to align operation of the shuttle service with the construction of priority bus lanes along 111 Street to ensure the shuttle service is safe, fast, convenient and reliable for Edmontonians on opening day."

Interesting find! So the construction is complete, but no service there for an entire year. So it is going to sit as an empty parking lot for now?
