100 Street Funicular

The 100 Street Funicular in Edmonton serves as a vital link between downtown and the River Valley, enhancing accessibility for locals and tourists alike. This landmark offers a unique way to transition from the urban hustle to the peaceful surroundings of the River Valley Parks, catering to pedestrians, cyclists, and even those with mobility aids like wheelchairs and strollers.

Operating like an elevator without the need for an operator, the glass-enclosed funicular can transport up to 20 individuals at a time. Its inclusion of features such as a sheltered canopy, seating areas at the top platform, and a grassy seating spot with integrated public art along the promenade, ensures a comfortable and visually appealing experience for visitors.

From the urban staircase to the pedestrian bridge and the lookout offering panoramic views, each element of the 100 Street Funicular contributes to creating a seamless and enjoyable journey through its innovative design and focus on accessibility. The project, which also features an elevator and barrier-free access points, was made possible through collaboration with various levels of government and local organizations.
