Very interesting... I get the location but that is tough for motocross people but they had a good ride. Will get more expensive as there's no city land that they can go to and get a decent lease.
The planned extension of 50 Avenue SE would cut through the property anyway, so the motocross track would likely be closed regardless of whether or not a new garage was built.
If 50th avenue is going to be extended through the property then the transit property will be split into two. Wonder how that will work.
Not necessarily through the middle per se, but it would cut off the south side of the property. See the city's diagram below:
Is 50th going across the river? It looks like it would be about the same place as the Green Line bridge...Not necessarily through the middle per se, but it would cut off the south side of the property. See the city's diagram below:
I believe so yes. IIRC crosses the river in the Deerfoot master plan but no connection to deerfoot itself
Transit hasn’t wound down any bus operations at Victoria Park, other than running weekend service from a different site.

From 4 car trains to two cars, there may be savings. In the past, going from 3 cars to 2, the labour to break up the train sets, by its nature, less efficient, negated the savings.
With the questionable economics as pointed out by darwink, maybe it's the first step to having some permanent 2-car trains that will run all week. The article also mentions.
Using capacity to justify also doesn't make sense. Theoretically any off peak train is going to have unused capacity, but if every train you get is packed with no seats at all time of the day because they've optimized the train length, that would be a terrible experience. People expect it to be crowded at 5pm and will still take the train because the traffic tradeoffs are high. If it's still packed at 10pm, a portion of those people will simply choose to drive because the traffic tradeoffs are lower.
