Administration is proposing that there will no longer be transit running on Stony Plain Road or 156 Street once the Valley Line West LRT is constructed.
Two residential properties will be expropriated in West Jasper Place for the construction of the Valley Line West LRT: 9941-156 Street (house) and 9937 & 9939-156 Street (semi-detached). As well, the liquor store, porn shop, pawn shop and body rub parlor on the corner of 151 Street and Stony Plain Road will be demolished for the Valley Line West LRT.
The Valley Line West project team recently posted a new virtual reality, 360-degree video which helps demonstrate how the Valley Line LRT will transform communities into more pedestrian friendly areas. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUy0WC6b5rs
