I also have an update on the Saddletown extension.

Enmax is currently working on wiring signals, communications, etc. McKnight-Westwinds Station will be closed over the May long weekend to "tie-in" the new extension to the signal system.

Turnover date from Transportation Infrastructure (the business unit that manages the construction of the project) to Calgary Transit is at the end of June. After this, testing, training and commissioning the line and stations for operation will be done. On past short line extensions, this has taken roughly a month. However, the official opening date is September 2012, and if this is the case it will likely coincide with the fall service changes that usually come in the first week of September.
