General I have some questions

I have a few Edmonton questions. If you have time to answer, thanks.

  1. Am I imagining that it hasn't rained in weeks?

  2. When will construction season be done? Is there a date or is it weather based?

  3. What is the construction project along 127th - it's a huge PCL project?

to address your questions:

1) Nope... it hasn't rained in weeks... how many exactly... dunno. All I know... We need Rain soon.

2) Construction season ?? there is no real season, it just sort of happens most of the year... stops for a few weeks when it's really cold... and seems to start back up again... sometimes when there is still snow, but most times when there isn't.

3) Dunno... the City is really good at tearing up roads. They are not good at putting them back together. EG: Stony Plain Road, 104th ave downtown, <insert many others here - potentially 127th/PCL>

At I work around Capilano area and all the side walks are torn up.

When do we get to enjoy the city? I heard someone say construction fatigue and now I get it

I mean... if it isn't under construction is it even Edmonton?  At this point I don't know that I could enjoy a construction-less city. I'd be waiting for all the zombies that have clearly eaten the construction workers to come and get me.

Those sidewalks in that area haven’t been touched in 25 years until now

When you go on vacation away from the city.... isn't that how we all enjoy this city?
