Wow the renders are so accurate, they even added a visitor from Camrose onto 7 Ave.

Wow, totally didn't see that. Thanks.

Now I can make out the tracks, but the car and lack of catenary wires threw me.

"Noise and vibration impacts." - my brother in Christ this is an electrified LRT line that will be quieter than a diesel bus. The only reason the current LRTs in downtown rumble is because they are street running and vibrate into the asphalt roadway. This will be built on a guideway with continuous weld rail and resilient low vibration concrete ties. Not to mention freight trains pass directly adjacent to this station. What are we even doing here??
 
Lol for real

Elevated trains are cool across the planet, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo, Pusan, Vancouver; but they are a concern for one of the worst downtowns of North America. Build the damn thing
