Went out early Sunday morning before the winds were doing their worst to take some West LRT pics from 37th St up to 69th Street SW.

Close up of of the tunnel portal at 38th St.:

Extreme wind notwithstanding, this was the easiest walk along this part of the route that I've done. Most of the major construction work is done now, so most road and pedestrian routes are restored. The lack of signage at Sarcee & 17th is incredible. While walking westward, a vehicle stopped beside me and the woman inside didn't know how to get to NB Sarcee. I told her, she did a U turn and was on her way. The interchange isn't complete, but more temporary signage is required.
