Valley Line West LRT road work moves to 149 Street/Stony Plain Road intersection
If you've driven in west Edmonton recently, you've seen the Valley Line West LRT construction from the ground. Here's what it looks like from above. A major west-end intersection was partially closed to traffic Friday, a day after another one east of it re-opened after several weeks, as crews advance work constructing Edmonton's new LRT line. Crews building the Valley Line West, which will run a 14-kilometre route between downtown and Lewis Estates, partially closed Stony Plain Road at 149 Street on Friday to work on transforming the intersection to accommodate the east-west LRT line. The city said in a Friday morning media release that the intersection will be partially closed for about nine weeks. On Thursday, the intersection of Stony Plain Road and 142 Street fully reopened to traffic after two months of partial closure. Brendon Unrau, superintendent of the project for Marigold, said shutting down intersections allows crews to complete the work in less time. 'Normally, when we build intersections, we have to do it in a lot of different phases -- the sequencing would work from corner to corner to corner -- but on this project, this year, the city's allowed us to shut down these major intersections so that we can work the whole thing through,' Unrau told media on Friday. 'It gives us a lot more space, and it lets us get the work done a lot quicker.' Brian Latte, the City of Edmonton's Valley Line West director, said the decision earlier this year to put an accelerated work plan into place has been successful, acknowledging the disruptions to daily lives but adding its for the short term. 'It's a significant inconvenience for a short period of time in place of a moderate or much higher inconvenience for a longer period of time,' Latte told media. Signs posted near the Stony Plain Road/149 Street intersection let drivers know of the road work they're approaching. Transit bus route No. 7 will follow a modified route during the latest intersection work, using 149 Street, Stony Plain Road, 142 Street and 107 Avenue. Construction of the line, which started three years ago, is slated to be finished by 2028, followed by testing.

‘I remember them every day': Antique car show in honour of N.S. family
A classic car show in Sydney, N.S., is more than a chance to feature shiny makes and models, it's also an opportunity to honour a beloved family. The Aaron Jolene Memorial Car Show is in memory of Aaron Tuck, Jolene Oliver, and their daughter Emily Tuck, who were killed in the Nova Scotia mass shooting in 2020. The inaugural car show was held that same year. This year, more than 100 antique cars are expected for the show. 'The car show, it comes deep from our hearts,' said Dana Gillis. Jason Gillis says he and Aaron were best friends, bonded by a love of old cars. 'Aaron was like my brother I never had,' he said. The star of Saturday's show will be a Pinto named 'Emily.' The car was Tuck and Gillis's baby and would have eventually belonged to the young woman it was named for. 'It was going to be Emily's car when she turned 18, so that's why we named the car 'Emily,'' said Jason. Emily Tuck is well-remembered for her fiddle performance with her father as part of the Ultimate Online Nova Scotia Kitchen Party during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and for a cheeky catchphrase she uttered during that show. 'At the end she kind of got a little sarcastic with (her father) and said, 'There's some fiddle for ya,'' recalls Jason. This year's show will fall on what would have been Aaron's 51st birthday. 'I remember them every day,' said Jason. 'Like, I wake up every morning and I look at their picture and say good morning to them. In the garage, just me working on the car I'll have a conversation with Aaron and try to get his help and guidance so we can get the car up and running so we can drive it and show it in their memory.' Proceeds from the show will go to Loaves and Fishes in Sydney. Organizers say last year's event raised more than $2,500. While hundreds are expected to come check out the old makes and models, it's the family's memory that is the driving force behind the event. 'We'll never forget them,' said Jason. 'They're always remembered. We've got great support from our community and people just seem to like our show.' The Aaron Jolene Memorial Car Show is scheduled to take place Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Plaza Ford in Sydney. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
