Overview

127 Street SW

127 Street used to be rural grid road Range Road 250 south of Edmonton. When the city was numbering its streets, it was found that this road laid south of Quadrant (1) Avenue, and so the city adopted a quadrant system, naming it 127 Street SW. It is now under reconstruction as neighbourhoods approach it. The University of Alberta farm, to the west, is the expected location of the LRT south extension towards the Edmonton International Airport. The north extent currently ends at Anthony Henday Drive with a mandatory eastbound enter and exit. Plans are in the works for the street to cross over and meet 119 Street NW and Anthony Henday Drive westbound.^[1]
