`We are actually less than seven years from an active airport to somebody living here,” [Tom Lumsden] said. “I know suburban neighbourhoods that have taken the better part of a decade to go from farmer’s field to where people are living.”

`Recently, things seem to be taking off. A 90-townhouse project is under way, four- to six-story buildings are coming, and another 90-unit apartment-style development is about to begin construction.'

I wanted to see how far the new #NAIT #LRT tracks went into the #Blatchford development. Well, they go right up to the Yellowhead Trail. And a #yegbike trail runs alongside, complete with traffic lights, although the cross streets may not be built ... for a decade. At the far north end is a second LRT stop, deserted but done. Lonely as it was out there, somebody still emerged from somewhere and managed to holler out if I had a light!

#yegbike, is there any reasonable way to bike in or out of the #blatchford development yet?
