Light Rail Transit in Edmonton, Alberta officially opened to the public on April 22, 1978 , just before the 1978 Commonwealth Games. Over the past 25 years of LRT service in Edmonton, it has grown from the original Belvedere to Central line to a larger 10 Station LRT system still with plenty of extensions to come in the future. The LRT system has seen 4 extensions to revenue tracks and still has 4 more extensions either approved or in the planning. This section will contain information relating to the LRT system in Edmonton from the early days to the present, with an outlook into the future. Along with the information about the system, we also plan on showing photos and brochures from over the past 25 years as well. Please select from one of the links below:
