City hall tossed around so many plans for elevating or burying LRT lines Wednesday, one councillor worried they had turned “skittish.”

“I wonder if we’re all getting a little skittish because of the Metro Line,” said Coun. Scott McKeen, referring to the northwest line that causes traffic delays near NAIT.

At that intersection (Princess Elizabeth Avenue and 106 Street), traffic in all directions must stop to let the train through. No one estimated the full traffic impact before a last-minute design change sent the tracks there west to Blatchford.

“I don’t want this to be a cascade of errors,” McKeen said.

No work or decisions on further grade separation between streets and LRT rails will happen until council decides how to proceed. Debate is scheduled for April 27. But administration said its initial review suggests council may want to consider elevating the west track over 178 Street and 87 Avenue for an estimated $50 million. Edmonton could also put the track underground to avoid 137 Avenue and Castle Downs Road in the northwest for $70 million. Those options were earlier considered and rejected.
