What We Heard in Round 1 of Engagement

28 September 2022

From July 5- August 5, the project team was online and in the community hearing from Edmontonians about their vision, experience and concerns with adding non-LRT mass transit to the City of Edmonton transit network.

Overall, we heard that Edmontonians want a safer, more reliable system that won’t negatively impact other modes of transportation, particularly private vehicles, from conveniently getting around the City.

A What We Heard report is available.

Keep up to date and have your say about the future of our community.

We acknowledge the traditional land on which we reside, is in Treaty Six Territory. We would like to thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose ancestors’ footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Cree), Dené, Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis’ homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. It is a welcoming place for all peoples who come from around the world to share Edmonton as a home. Together we call upon all of our collective, honoured traditions and spirits to work in building a great city for today and future generations.
