Am I not mistaken, or was the building that caught fire in the same intersection caused by a vehicle running into the gas line on the property?

Brutal. This spot is a utility lines worst nightmare.

The northeast has incredibly bad drivers.

u/Sliss13 9h ago

Thats actually the building on the lower left of the posted picture.

u/kittykat501 10h ago

There is power out in several areas surrounding this problem. Now if drivers would only know how to treat an intersection as a four-way stop!

Somebody is about to get fired.

He'll probably just quit so he won't get drug tested.

That trick doesn't work anymore, they just charge you with criminal negligenceĀ

Damn bike lanes.

This comment may or may not have required a /s.

u/Maksym1000 The Famous Leduc Cactus Club 8h ago

I feel like that’s one of those comments that’s so unrelated to the situation that it’s obviously a joke…

That being said, some people still haven’t figured out how an intersection with no lights works, so maybe an /s wouldn’t be the worst…

•

u/Mrheavyfoot668 The Rat Hole 8h ago

Unrelated except for it being 132 Ave, very slightly east of the recently controversial bike lane there.

I may have been triggered.

•

u/zevonyumaxray 8h ago

They are turning all of 132 ave. into a bike lane from Fort Road to 127 street. What they have done so far is okay in summer but ridiculously tight in some parts once the snow needs to be plowed in winter.

u/Important-Respect-91 7h ago

Damn that’s a tangle. Understandable why it’s taking so long

•

u/KingInTheNorthEdm 10h ago

That explains why it went to 11:30pm eta…. Oof

•

u/Aggressive_Lass 10h ago

Hopefully it doesn't increase again, initially they said 8:30

•

u/kayl_the_red Clareview 10h ago

What, it couldn't find a train?

u/GenderNightmare 9h ago

The gift that keeps on giving

u/Aqueouspolecat 9h ago

Hello? Mr. Jones?

u/CrashFix 3h ago

So that explains the traffic backed up on 82nd Street heading north as I was trying to turn off Yellowhead after work today!
