If all goes well this aftenoon

I could end up getting a Red Robbin's Angus burger for my lunch. Its going to be a late lunch, but that's ok. After some shopping Anne is getting that for me shortly. 

With an all day session yesterday at City Hall, it was finally decided to leave out the West LRT 149th street interchange proposal. That interchange would have taken out nearby businesses and slow down traffic even more then it already could. Once the tender process has been selected, the City of Edmonton what's to have shovels in the ground for the WLRT project by 2019. The WLRT will run down (low floor) right by my old apartment building I used to live at in the '80's and most of the '90's right above the sign in the yard behind that tree. That was my old suite. What could have been a option would be to have a trench system like the proposed St. Albert line, run the train down a trench system after it leaves the Jasper Place transit station and emerge on 87th after the 156th street intersection. I was on board of having the WLRT run from the University of Alberta cross the river and tunnel out onto after the 87th Ave traffic circle. As envaneo, I made my voice heard on that concept.

Switching gears here with 8 games remaining in the Oilers NHL schedule, the only things to be decided for the Oilers is can Connor McDavid win the Art Ross trophy again and can the Oilers finish playing 500 hockey?  McDavid is currently one point behind TB's Kucherov. McDavid can close in and maybe move ahead of Kucherov but both teams have 8 games remaining and Kucherov isn't just going to be standing still. Its going to be a real horse race here. This list gets refreshed at the end of the day. If McDavid wins the Art Ross then that's something the Oilers can really behind for next season and makes this bitter pill of a season easier to follow. Anyway, that's al for now.
