	Better Transit for Edmonton - A Vision for Transit [1] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		While Edmonton has indeed been fortunate in that the present growth has been largely accommodated within the facilities provided for in the origins of the city, these are approaching saturation and most certainly could not accommodate the projected increases in transportation volumes nor any significant change in the choice of travel modes.
		Rapid transit should be recognized as an important municipal asset, the value of which extends to all the citizens of the area and not just to those who pay their fares for the privilege of riding the trains.
		The City of Edmonton, by its determination to plan ahead, is making a serious effort to avoid the problems which so many cities face today because the great peak hour tide of passenger movement has increased with a rapidity that has completely overwhelmed their transportation facilities.
