Metro Line
The Edmonton LRT Metro Line is a light rail transit line from northwest Edmonton to central Edmonton scheduled to have begun operation by early 2014 but instead opened on September 6, 2015.〔 The line uses of new track, three new stations, and seven stations on the existing Capital Line. The cost of the project is $665 million, jointly funded by the City of Edmonton, Province of Alberta, and the Government of Canada.〔 It is the first new line that is not an extension of the existing line. The line is expected to add 13,200 riders per weekday. A trip from NAIT Station to is expected to take nine minutes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edmonton.ca/transportation/ets/lrt_projects/downtown-to-nait-lrt-study.aspx )〕 A number of roadworks are under construction or completed to revitalize the surrounding community. An extension to the northwest city limits has completed conceptual design,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metro Line (NAIT to North City Limits) )〕 and a further extension is proposed through the city of St. Albert on Highway 2/St. Albert Trail.
==History==
In spring 2007, the funding for a concept plan and preliminary engineering was commissioned and the City approved the plan the next year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edmonton.ca/transportation/ets/lrt_projects/north-lrt-project-history.aspx )〕 In 2008, during construction of the Epcor Tower, the City ordered that the tunnel section below the tower be dug before the tower was completed, this saved $140 million from digging after the tower was built. The remainder of the tunnel, under Downtown Edmonton, was bored, and completed in November 2012. In 2009 the City approved the relocation of funds from the Gorman extension to the Metro Line, as the City felt northwest was a higher priority. In 2010 the City began preparation work, including utility relocation.〔 The permanent closure of 105 Avenue between 102 Street and 105 Street was performed so MacEwan Station could be built. 105 Street was permanently closed to vehicular traffic between 107 Avenue and 108 Avenue to allow the line to continue along the existing road corridor, which alleviated the need to widen the corridor and remove some existing trees. 104 Street was closed between 108 Avenue and Kingsway in a similar fashion.〔
Testing began in July 2013,〔 and the line began operation in September 2015 using an interim signalling system, with trains running at a frequency of 15 minutes, rather than 5.〔 There have been three delays in beginning operations on the line: one from April to June 2014, one from June to December 2014, and another from December 2014 to February 2015. The delays have been caused by issues with the signalling system built by Thales. Thales gave control of the system to the City of Edmonton in March 2015, but failed to provide adequate documentation to place the line into service. The public plaza surrounding MacEwan Station, except for the area required to build Rogers Place Arena opened for use by people other than the construction crew in December 2014. Most testing on the line is complete.〔
