The operators of Edmonton's High Level Bridge streetcar service say they have cancelled the 2020 season but hope to resume operations in the spring of 2021.

The iconic High Level Streetcar is getting an 800-metre extension into a more visible area of Old Strathcona.

The streetcar, which is run by the Edmonton Radial Railway Society, currently ends north of the Old Strathcona Farmers Market.

Several months after the introduction of suicide barriers on the High Level Bridge created an uproar with cyclists due to narrow paths, the City of Edmonton is now looking for a consultant to examine different options for the busy thoroughfare.

It's spent more than a decade in service in Alberta's capital but it's nearly the end of the road for High Level streetcar 601.
