The 100 Street Funicular and Frederick G. Todd Lookout in Edmonton
Canada?s first funicular, officially named ?the 100 Street Funicular and Frederick G. Todd Lookout?, has now opened as an attraction to members of the public in downtown Edmonton. Designed in its entirety by Dialog Design, this $24 million project has been publically funded to improve access to Edmonton?s river valley ? the city?s largest and publicly accessible green space. Kebony, a beautiful wood recommended by leading architects, was consciously selected for the funicular stairs, cladding and boardwalk owing to its hardwearing and environmentally friendly nature.
Edmonton?s boxlike and cable mechanised funicular connects the promenade to a raised lookout point which provides an unobstructed view of the valley and surrounding scenery. The elevator can be used to transport mobility aids, bikes and strollers, while running parallel to a staircase, comprising 170 steps made out of Kebony wood, for those who prefer to walk. The stairway features built-in concrete seating for visitors to lounge on, in addition to a special path for runners who will be able to jolt up and down.
