May 5, 2023: Follow the Latest Updates on the Valley Line Southeast and Take a Ride with Us
In this episode of Take a Ride with TransEd, we are visiting some of the public art collection along the Valley Line Southeast LRT route. The public art collection includes sculptures, art glass, a mosaic, and a series of paintings. The artists chosen to create these pieces include four Edmonton-based artists, three Alberta-based artists, one international artist, one Indigenous artist team, and one Metis artist. The majority of the artists collaborated with locals to conceive and refine their concepts, resulting in artwork that resonates strongly with the communities surrounding each stop along the 13-kilometre LRT route.

We hope everyone enjoys this week’s virtual trip along the alignment. We can’t wait to welcome you on board when the line opens!
TransEd is testing trains along the Valley Line Southeast LRT and mimicking the future schedule. For example, more trains operate during peak hours and fewer during off-peak hours.
Please be aware of your surroundings with more trains on the tracks. Motorists, must always adhere to traffic signals and ensure you follow “NO RIGHT ON RED” signs. Pedestrians, ensure you only cross the tracks using designated crosswalks and follow the pedestrian signals to remain safe. Every pedestrian crossing along the Valley Line Southeast has visual walk and don’t walk pedestrian signals and countdown timers, press and hold the crossing button to activate the audible signal.
