Gorman (ETS)
Encyclopedia
Gorman Station is a future LRT station that is part of the proposed northeast extension of the Edmonton
LRT
system. The station will become the northern terminus
of the LRT line and will be located near 153 Avenue and Victoria Trail
.
The concept plan for this extension was approved by Edmonton City Council in 2008
. The extension was announced on May 1, 2009, costing $210 million, and will receive funding from three levels of government. However, funding was shifted to the NAIT LRT line in July 2009 as city officials saw that line as a higher priority for the city. But the city has not ruled out a near-future extension to Gorman.
