All that huffing and puffing in the article, and basically... yes, the signalling system is still broken. Everything that is being complained about is that the signalling system on the 2 km extension is indeed still broken, meaning that the crossings are being ultra-conservative.
It's a known issue, and one day it will be fixed. it's either this, or Mr. Hopper would instead be writing an article about the huge waste of money of all this rail infrastructure that's not being used at all. (Something that was indeed written constantly about, as it sat idle for a year)
I've driven a little in Edmonton, and along the older sections of the line wait times aren't nearly as bad as described here. The arms come down, the train passes promptly, the arms go back up.
[also I've retitled the thread given that this is our de facto Edmonton LRT thread]
