WATCH: Football fans will soon be flooding Commonwealth Stadium as the Edmonton Elks begin their 75th season. But new changes to transit and parking have some fans and residents feeling frustrated. Kabi Moulitharan reports.
Valley Line LRT construction has prompted changes to the Elks Park and Ride service, which offers free transit rides to anyone with a game-day ticket. Bus service at Davies station has been replaced with the Valley Line LRT.Fans can still park for free at Davies Transit Centre but will instead ride the Valley Line LRT to Churchill Station before taking the Capital Line LRT to Stadium Station rather than boarding a bus.
Residents living near the stadium may also notice changes affecting their residential parking permits. “Finding a parking spot in front of my house is going to be a challenge,” said Andrei Nikiforuk, a resident of the area since 1978.Resident Brian Bradford said he is unsure whether allowing parking without a permit in his neighbourhood is a good idea. He also expects it to become an inconvenience for residents.
