The legislative language in Bill 20 means the West LRT project is at "serious risk" of going ahead, according to Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson.

Edmonton Transit is working towards a new fare policy for 2020 and it is proposing that more groups than seniors should get discounted fares.

While the signal contractor Thales says the Metro LRT system is ready for service, the city will take "a number of months" to evaluate and field test it.

Edmonton Transit Service management recommends running a pilot project as a way to test supplemental service delivery models and figure out which works best.

The company responsible for the signalling system along Edmonton's Metro LRT Line had until Tuesday to respond to a notice of default filed by the city last week.

The Metro LRT Line was originally supposed to open in April 2014. Four years later, it's still not running at full speed or frequency.

The work has been underway since last June and now planners have mapped out their preferred route for Edmonton's Centre LRT.
