While we did not get to meet Jóna, the apartment was absolutely perfect! It's a private studio attached to their home, facing the sea, with a private bathroom. The set-up is extremely comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. For anyone coming to Isafjördur, I HIGHLY recommend Jóna's home.ElizaJune 2016
The apartment is an extension to the main house, but is completely private and you'll have the place all to yourself. Place was very clean, and there's a small pantry area with a hot water flask and !!coffee machine!! where Jona has generously left a bunch of coffee sachets for us to get drunk on kaffi. We were able to use the simple facilities to prepare a small dinner and breakfast. We were perfectly content to stay in the lovely and comfortable apartment since it was stormy then, and entertained ourselves with the LARGE LCD TV that's hooked up to NETFLIX!! Didn't manage to meet Jona which was a pity, but did manage to meet Henry. I'm sure both are very lovely people.EdmundSeptember 2016
Jóna is a kind host and she has been a solid help to tell us whether or not snow will be blocking us on the road to her place, etc. The room (actually a little apartment) has a private entry and bathroom and is close to the city center. Bed are comfortable and relaxing is easy there. Bonus : an access to Netflix ! It has been a nice stay in Ísafjörður, I recommend Jóna's room.NicolasNovember 2016
Joli chambre et très bon accueilGautierSeptember 2016
Jona und Henry sind sehr liebe Menschen und waren sehr freundlich zu mir. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und hatte ein eigenes Bad, sowie einen eigenen Zugang. Die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen.SusanAugust 2016
Jona was a very pleasant women, typical Icelander. Met her husband later and found him to be very friendly and helpful. The room was nicely appointed. As nice as we have ever stayed in.JohnJune 2016
Great place to stay close to downtown. It was clean, comfortable, and Jona was friendly.AshleyJune 2016
Lovely place, warm welcome.( FYI (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps sent us the wrong way on her street). Location is great, beautiful view and room.TrishJuly 2016
住宿的地方很棒很溫馨,設備也很齊全,地點也很好,房東還很親切的推薦我們有哪裡可以去,一早還幫我們查有沒有因為氣候因素有封路的情形,整體來說非常棒,非常推薦!!YI LINNovember 2016
Sigga's guesthouse is a wonderfull BnB. We were welcomed by our host, she showed us around and gave us many tips on things to visit. The guesthouse is clean, nice and cosy with plenty of space: bedroom, kitchen, livingroom and restroom, very well equiped. I wholeheartly recommend this place, Sigga is a true superhost.HansAugust 2016
Sigga is so kind and helpful. Gave very clear guide how to get there, how to use the facilities. It is a shame that I missed the chance staying there due to the flight cancellation. Hope I have chance enjoying the hospitality in future.MinghuiSeptember 2015
This was a very nice place in Isafjordur with beautiful views. Sigridur was very accommodating and her place had all the comforts of home including a hair dryer and towels. Definitely a place to stay in if you're traveling to Isafjordur.DanicaMay 2016
Excellent accommodations! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to visit Isafjordur. The place was close to DT and was clean and comfortable.AlexOctober 2016
Nice clean well equiped apartment. Sigga was away but her friend was able to show us in. Pleasant experience.BergurOctober 2015
dessverre kom vi oss ikkje til Isafjordur, det vart heilt enkelt for langt, det var bleit, og eg vil svært gjerne sjå Westfjordane. Og Sigga ville vore den perfekte vert. Håpar å koma dit, Island var magisk vakkert. Så Sigga får eg møte neste gang.NinaApril 2015
Sigridur welcome us very warmly. She was really helpful and kind with our family after a long trip on that day. The flat was perfect and with all you need inside, even a washing machine and a dryer :-) That was the best place during our stay in Iceland !carineJuly 2015
Great stay, very comfortable, spectacular views!JohnJanuary 2017
As good as it gets.bradleyJanuary 2017
My friend and I had a pleasant stay here. It's located in a quaint town near very scenic drives and the room is comfortable.ApoorvaaFebruary 2017
Hrund's place was perfect for a pit stop in the Westfjords! Great location near grocery store and gas station! The kitchen is well supplied with pots/pans/tools for cooking a home meal. There was plenty of space in the room and it was quite cozy! There's also a TV with AppleTV for Netflix/etc! Overall great stay! Takk! :)ThaoMarch 2017
Because of the unexpected storm in winter, we could not mange to arrive the room. The landlady has kindly refunded part to the fee, which is very nice! We were happy to talk with her. Highly recommended!junjieDecember 2016
everthing was fine. just few steps from the house for nice panoramic view. thnks to her hospitality.RyanMarch 2017
Excellent, kind, generous, and helpful host of a lovely space in a breathtakingly beautiful town. One of the highlights of our Iceland trip.AudreyNovember 2016
Nice and clean apartment. No issues contacting Arni or getting into the apartment.ColinSeptember 2016
We arrived late (midnight) and Arni had left the place open with the lights on!! Though we were only there for a night it was perfect. If you're staying in Isafjordur I wouldn't recommend anywhere else!GeoffJune 2016
Nice flat with plenty of space for a family of four. Clean and bright, with all what we could need.ElenaAugust 2016
Fantastic large place for a family (I was a solo traveler) and in a great location! I stupidly left my water bottle and hat locked inside when I left and Arni's son came down to help me out within minutes. Thanks for a great stay!ChristopherOctober 2016
Logement super. Grand. Propre. Confortable. Situé a l'entrée de la ville et a proximité de services: restaurant, boulangerie, supermarché. Internet disponible. Cuisine équipée.JulieNovember 2016
Before we arrived, Arni was very helpful with many great suggestions as to where to go in the area. When we got there we had a few questions and his son gladly came over to help us out. Both Arni and his son were overly kind and helpful! The apartment is very clean, large and had everything we needed. This was a great place to stay and the location is fantastic!LindseyOctober 2016
Beautiful apartment with two rooms (one upstairs, one downstairs which is extremely cute and cozy). Nicely clean equip kitchen. Love it!RubyOctober 2016
Þægileg íbúð, góð staðsetning, góð samskipti við Árna.Anna DagnyAugust 2016
Place was greatSonnyFebruary 2017
I cannot recommend this apartment enough! We had such a great experience in Isafjordur, and staying here was a big reason for that. The apartment is very tastefully furnished, and was just the right size for my husband, myself and our baby. The beds were very comfortable, and the recently-remodeled bathroom was bright and beautiful. It is centrally located (right on the main drag), and Robert recommended a fantastic restaurant that was just 2 doors down. Even though we didn't get to meet Gurry, she was so kind and sent Robert with some toys for our baby (which she loved).LauraMay 2016
Very enjoyable, clean and fully equipped apartment. Nice little touch like chocolates and coffee on arrival. The hosts were very friendly and gave a good tour of the apartment. They also helped us a lot when our plane was delayed. Good location and close to a supermarkt. Definitely recommend a stay here.DirkJune 2015
Wunderbarer Ort in Island, die Winteranfahrt atemberaubend schön. Super Kommunikation mit Gurry und viele Tips bekommen. Danke für die schöne Zeit, auch wenn es Winter war. Wir wollten es so.NielsJanuary 2017
Bright and comfortable home. Gurry is a careful host: tobe recommended.LucaJune 2016
We enjoyed our stay at Gurry and Robert's place very much. The apartment is central and parking was easy. Gurry and Robert were very pro-active in providing information and we were welcomed by Robert personally. He also recommended a great restaurant with the yummiest food ever. The apartment was the nicest and neatest place we've stayed at during our whole trip. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well-equipped. We felt at home instantly and enjoyed Ísafjördur a lot! Thank you very much!NoraAugust 2015
Yes the listing was more than what we expected.Spotlessly clean and Gury and Robert were such friendly hosts.VinceJune 2014
Empfang und Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Zentrale Lage, nette Wohnung!RudolfJuly 2016
Lovely home - we enjoyed our stay. Host gave good advice. Centrally located. Thanks!KimAugust 2015
Wonderful place in Isafjordur. We walked to the cafe daily for some of the delicious sweets. The apartment met all of our needs as we cooked our meals in.Beau June 2015
This funky, homely, comfortable two level apartment with fantastic views, in the center of Isafjordur, was great. You have everything you need here for a comfy stay. While the kitchen area and bench space is small, it is sufficient. The shower was fantastic - loved it. The beds are comfortable. We had a comfy stay at Isafjordur downtown.JenniferMay 2016
Beautiful apartment with great location. Quick answers from the host before our visit and they also left us a number to call if we had any questions during our stay.FeliciaJuly 2015
Ticks all of the boxes, you have all that you need for a relaxing stay. Cosy and a great location and views.DavidSeptember 2015
An absolutely beautiful home in the middle of Ísafjörður. One of the nicest places I have stayed in and certainly some of the best views in town. The apartment is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It really felt like home. It feels more spacious than you can appreciate from the photos. Washing machine is a plus. Haukur was very easy to communicate with. I would definitely like to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended.Emily and DavidAugust 2015
Haukur was a great host. He was extremely responsive to questions and went out of his way to help us with information about skiing in and around Isafjordur. The apartment is very comfortable and is well-described in the listing. The location in downtown Isafjordur is very convenient and walkable to everything you need.SethMay 2016
Had a wonderful stay in Isafjordur. Haukur was an excellent host, always ready to answer questions about the area, and the apartment was exactly what we were looking for as a group of 3 traveling to the westfjords. The location is ideal, located in the center of the historic part of town, a close walk to most everything. The apartment itself we were very impressed with. It felt new, clean, and uncluttered while also having character. Added bonus was the hammock and box of instruments. Would definitely stay again if I ever make it back to the area.DylanJune 2015
Everything with this stay was great. The one-way streets made it a little difficult to get to, but once we arrived, we figured out the street layout and it wasn't an issue after that. The apartment was clean, well-furnished and really conveniently located just a couple blocks away from the water and the main part of town. Magni was great with communicating with us to make sure that everything was set for our stay. Have no complaints at all and would definitely recommend staying here to anyone.RussellJuly 2016
Magni was a great host. Super fast communication. Really clean place. Thanks. Great location too.RichardMay 2016
Magni's apartment is very comfortable, clean, fancy and in the city center. Magni has arranged everything to facilitate our stay: the key is in a locked box, so you can arrive whenever you want. The kitchen is full equipped, the WiFi connection is ok and a very comfortable bed, what else can you desire? I really recommend this place!RUTAugust 2016
Magni was extremely responsive and helpful. The apartment is located on a dead-end street in a quiet residential neighborhood, right next to a school. It is a 3-minute walk to the center of town. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and well-appointed. We would be pleased to stay at Magni's again.MichaelJune 2016
Clean, quiet, comfortoble & convenient. Magni was quick to respond, generous and accommodating to our needs. Isafjördur is a lovely town. thankyou, DanDanJuly 2016
Góð staðsetning í rólegu húsi en samt örstutt frá öllu. Hæfilega stór, allt til alls. Magni góður gestgjafi sem svaraði fyrirspurnum strax.KariJuly 2016
The apartment is extremely clean and neat. We really liked staying there in the beautiful Isafordur. The beds were comfy and the bathroom and kitchen nice.KarenJuly 2016
The apartment was lovely, just like the pictures. Nice living room to relax, but we couldn't get the TV to work. Too minor a problem to call the host. Well equipped, attractive kitchen. Comfortable bed, night tables and lamps on both sides, lots of storage. The bathroom would benefit from better lighting, some shelves near the sink, and a shower curtain that goes all around the tub--but everything worked well. Excellent wifi connection. Free parking behind the building. Very convenient location for restaurants and to get in/out of town. We were happy to come home to this apartment for 3 evenings.AndeeSeptember 2016
Beautiful and huge place for five people to stay. The host was extremely helpful and we will recommend it to anyone visiting the west fjord.VictorAugust 2014
Annska was an extremely kind and helpful host, and her flat was absolutely fantastic! It was spacious, decorated with fun art, and the location was perfect. Ísafjörður is beautiful, and I think that staying at Annska's flat is the best way to enjoy the town! I've stayed at airbnb listings across Iceland, and Annska was one of the most organized hosts I had the privilege of staying with.KitAugust 2014
We loved our stay here! Annska was very helpful, welcoming, and answered quickly when I had questions. She sent lots of helpful and fun information about the town and nearby sights that we used to plan our time in the area. The apartment itself was great - eclectic style, clean, comfortable, very spacious. The hairdryer and washer/dryer were great bonuses. The apartment feels private but is in a perfect location walking distance to everything in town. I would love to come back and stay again!LisaJuly 2016
Veldig hyggelig vertskap og en fantastisk flott plass som vi kan anbefale på det varmeste. Stille og rolig strøk og gode senger.GerdAugust 2016
The apartment was so lovely and even bigger and more stylish than it appears online. We enjoyed our stay in this space very much and Annska was a fabulous host and provided a great list of recommendations in the area. After 8 days of staying in cabins around Iceland as a group of 5 we were thrilled by how spacious and well-equipped the apartment was including a large shower, washing machine and dishwasher. Could not recommend this place highly enough. Location was very central and we loved coming home and listening to records.TiareSeptember 2016
Tras largas horas de carretera para llegar a Isafiördur se agradece no sólo encontrarse con un paisaje imponente, sino también con un alojamiento tan agradable como éste. Un amplio espacio de vida, con dos habitaciones independientes en la planta baja de un antiguo almacén. Mucha calidez, mucha madera (alguna reutilizada), mucha luz y alguna mezcla sorprendente de mobiliario. Confortable y recomendable. Eso sí, con un cierto toque de "hágalo usted mismo" .CarlosJuly 2014
Only ever a phone call and a few minutes away, Annska and her husband worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was huge and perfect for a family of 4. We were tired from travelling and this was a place you could actually hang out in.SamAugust 2016
Great apartment in the town center. Beautiful interior, very spacious, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, parking right next to the house, walking distance to cafes and shops, super quiet during the night. A must stay while in Isafjordur.AdamOctober 2016
Die Gastgeber haben sich wirklich um uns bemüht. Das merkte man an allem, auch wenn das Haus bereits etwas älter war, so war alles stimmig.RaphaelAugust 2014
This property was exactly as it was presented on Airbnb so met my expectations completely. It is comfortable, homey, very well equipped and very well located. The communication as far as arrival information and information about the property was flawless and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.JoanMay 2014
Beautiful home with an even more beautiful view. This home is perfect for 3-6 people. The kitchen had everything we needed except for a freezer. Asta left very clear instructions for us when we arrived. The downtown is a 15 minute walk or a two minute drive from her home. The beds were comfortable and the home was well heated. Wifi and washer worked very well.SheilaAugust 2015
This place fit our needs well while traveling through Iceland. The town is great as well.KenleyMay 2015
A very cosy and comfortable house in an excellent location. Amazing viewpoint from the house. Thanks Asta for sharing your lovely house with us. We had a great stay and will certainly recommend your house to our family & friends.Khim LoongOctober 2015
The home was very nice and spacious. Our kids especially enjoyed the bunk beds and toys. It is a great place for a family and the views are gorgeous. Asta answered all my questions right away and there were lots of instructions for how to use things around the house.LauraJune 2014
Great, lovely place. We felt at home and could hardly leave the place even if the neighbourhood is great and the location is amazing. The place is clean, nice, warm :) with full equipment, great for travellers who would plan to cook.EvaAugust 2016
This place was a great up the hill location! The home was perfect! Well equipped & beautiful views!CharlieAugust 2016
The apartment was a beautiful base from which to explore the West Fjords. It had a beautiful view and was very comfortable for our family.WendyJune 2015
Very nice and cosy appartment with everything you need. We stayed two nights end of October and it was perfectly placed to go exploring the Westfjord. We would definitely go back!SylvieOctober 2016
Wonderful place with incredible light and a spectacular view of the fjord. Perfectly equipped kitchen (and right next to an excellent bakery, too). We enjoyed everything about our stay, and only wished that we had more time there.NinaJune 2016
Oh man, what can I say? This place was unbelievable. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the best location to stay in Isafjordhur. Location aside, the apartment is beautiful and we were so comfortable there. We can't wait to return again next year and will be very upset if their house is already booked. :-)MichaeleSeptember 2015
We had a great stay at Olafur's place in the Westfjords. Place was clean and easy to find- view was also very nice! We couldn't have been happier with our visit. Would certainly recommend Olafur as a host.JackieMay 2015
It is really a beautiful apartment in a great location. Love everything.AuroraSeptember 2016
We had a really amazing time in the absolutely perfect apartment. Thank you very much!TinaJuly 2015
What a gorgeous apartment! Ideally located, perfectly equipped - we loved every minute. Ólafur's mother stopped by to welcome us, and we were made to feel completely at home. Five stars!RachaelJuly 2016
Very warm welcoming, nice room within walking distance to all the commodities of the town.JocelynAugust 2016
Great experience in Isafjordur! Gurry and her husband were very helpful with suggestions of things to do in town and around. Location is great to town–we walked every where and it was very easy.Níc & KelseySeptember 2015
Perfect place to stay if you're looking for a private & clean space. Very comfortable bed, clean bathroom (shared with 2 other rooms but not a problem), and close to town. Robert greeted me and provided some route trips for the rest of my journey. No access to a full kitchen, but there is a microwave & kettle in the room which was awesome. Thanks!SydneyOctober 2016
Gurry and Robert were great hosts. We didn't see them too much but when we arrived they made us feel very welcome. The room was clean, comfortable, and had great amenities. I loved the heated floor in the bathroom! The location was great. It was easy to walk to all the restaurants and shops in town. Totally recommended!ErinJune 2016
Gurrý and Róbert were very helpful and gracious hosts. They let me check in early because the room was not being used and they provided a helpful orientation to the town including tips for food and walks but they also respected my privacy. The room was very clean and thoughtfully stocked with supplies for coffee and tea and even "disposable" slippers for late night trips to the bathroom, which is shared with two other rooms. The room was tastefully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. I had a very enjoyable stay and would certainly recommend GentleSpace.DeborahApril 2016
Très bon accueil. Chambre cosy.topRogerJune 2016
Gurry and Robert greeted us on arrival and gave us a quick orientation to the guesthouse + Isafjordur. Super friendly and gave good suggestions for places to eat/things to do. Our room was clean, comfortable and well decorated, had a kettle/microwave/coffee machine. Great safe location in town, walkable distance to everything. One bathroom shared between 3 rooms, which was fine. Just anticipate having to share is all. Overall great experience, would definitely stay here again next time we visit.IrisMay 2016
We had a great stay at Gurry and Robert's home. They were very friendly and Robert answered all our questions as well as letting us know all the features of the town. The wifi was great and Robert was nice enough to help my friend having trouble with his Galaxy phone. The town is just a five minute walk away. The room was very clean and we definitely recommend them as a stop in Isafjordur, we couldn't ask for anything better.StephenOctober 2015
Appartement situé dans une ville très sympa, ou se situe le meilleur restaurant de poisson du monde ;) Dagny est super chaleureuse et accueillante. Un peu déçu car la photo extérieure porte à confusion et ne représente pas l'appartement (qui est en fait dans un immeuble basique en face d'une école) mais la maison de la propriétaire ! Par contre l'emplacement est top, car à côté de toutes les commodités (piscine, restaurants, etc.) Beaucoup de petites attentions (fruits frais, etc.) sympathique !EddySeptember 2012
This place has almost everything except internet and laundry. It is very clean, quiet, and beautiful.AndySeptember 2012
Terrific apartment in the heart of Isafjördur. We had a lovely relaxing stay here in the middle of a snow storm! Dagny was also incredibly warm and friendly, and very helpful in giving us advice during the storm. We would love to come back here in better weather!TonyNovember 2012
This apartment was fantastic! Really spacious and fully equipped. Everything is perfectly set up for guests to know where to find things and how to use all household items. Dagny is great, went out of her way to accommodate for our arrival time and gave us useful travelling advice. Too bad we couldn't stay any longer.SaraAugust 2014
I can not say enough good things about Dangy or her home. She is an amazing host. Dagny went above and beyond expectations to make sure we had an amazing experience in Ísafjörður. She is quick to respond if you have a question and took care of our every need. She even drove us to the airport to pick up a rental car! This is without a doubt the best place to stay if you are traveling to Ísafjörður. Dagny's apartment was a perfect home to to enjoy while we took in the sights of the Western Fjords. It truly felt like an Icelandic Oasis when we arrived. The weather was not good the day of our arrival, but when we opened the door to Dagny's apartment we instantly felt at home and knew we made the right decision on where to stay. The home was clean, the beds were warm and the shower was great. We had an amazing time in Ísafjörður and I credit Dagny for making that possible.ZachSeptember 2015
Dagny is a wonderful host! She went out of her way to fetch us to the airport to collect our car and even offered to do so on the day of our departure. Her recommendations for food was also fantastic! Prior to coming to her apartment, she was very patient and responsive over our many correspondence. Her apartment is very big, clean, spacious and bright. The kitchen is well stock for anyone who wish to cook and the bedroom mattress was really comfortable. We felt right at home over the 3 nights we stayed there! I highly recommend anyone to stay at her beautiful place. Cheers!JasonJuly 2015
Beautiful, light, well equipped apartment. Lovely to have eats on arrival. As we were competing in the Fossavatngangen, the invitation to use Hallidor's shop for ski prep was very useful and welcome. Central location to pool and shops, restaurants was fantastic. Dagný and her Mom were so welcoming and perfect English speakers. Loved Isafjordur!WilliamMay 2015
We have spent a great time in Isafjordur with our 7 month daughter! The apartment is very nice : well equipped, clean and ideally situated. Near everything (shops, restaurants, cafes, bakery, swimming pool, tourism office...). Best place to visit westfjords. Dagny was the perfect host, so welcoming and helpful... she even provided a babycot! I highly recommend staying here and I hope I can come back again!AlexieAugust 2012
Ólína was a great host. We had a very nice stay in Isafjordur. We can highly recommend this host!WilhelmSeptember 2015
Olina´s place was great and exactly as advertised. Olina was a very gracious and accomadating host in a great town and I would highly reccomend staying at her place to anyone who is travelling to Isafjordour.CamJune 2014
Ólína made us feel like we were at home, really. She's been very helpful prior to our arrival, super available too. We loved the dog, he's so cute and well behaved! Her home is very clean and well soundproofed. You might also have access to a small portion of the downstairs fridge if you ask nicely to store your Skyr :) She also serves hot water for you during the day. Breakfast was very good with a variety of things, always on time. The location is ideal, it's a small town and it takes just a few minutes to walk to where the port is and all the restaurants. I highly recommend anyone to come here for a pleasant and calm stay! Oh and if you like hiking, I'm sure Ólína can give you some tips as to where to go. And DO go to that fish restaurant at the end of the pier, it's delicious!PhilippeJune 2015
Ólína was an excellent host and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We went to Ísafjörður for an event and another couple from the same event stayed in the next room to us. Ólína went out of her way to make us comfortable, told us about good places to visit and even taught our new friends how to knit in the local style! Recommended!EinarAugust 2013
We had a lovely time staying at Olina's B&B in Isafjordur. Olina and her family made us feel welcome in their home; I'm sure the family dog probably wanted to give us a warm welcome too, but was so well behaved and only came up to us to say hello when invited to do so. The breakfast was tasty and well sufficient (and the house had under-floor heating!)HelenJuly 2014
Olina was a wonderful host. Her place is lovely, quiet and close to the center. We were in Isafjordur for two days and are eager to visit again. We would certainly stay with Olina again!JeremyJuly 2014
Great stay for a night here. Friendly hosts who accommodated our late arrival. Convenient location that was easy to find. Hosts were so nice and they have a great view from their breakfast table!LizAugust 2016
I had a great stay here! The room was really great, delicious breakfast in the morning, and nice conversation with a lovely host.StephanieAugust 2013
This is a great launching point for your Westfjord adventures. Isafjordur is a cozy small town, but also the largest in the area. Arni was a gracious host. The check-in and check-out process was seamless.JaredOctober 2016
My husband and I stayed at this wonderful large house in Ísafjörður for the first two nights of our honeymoon trip across Iceland and it was really comfortable! The projector screen and large selection of movies were great. We stayed in town and didn't need a car - we went hiking and had a blast! There were plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance and the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking.ClioJune 2014
After camping for a week this place was fantastic! Laundry, showers and a big projection TV was exactly what we needed. Thanks Arni!RCAugust 2014
Arni's rental was just perfect, close to everything but on a quiet side street. The beds were very comfortable. The garden space was lovely and private. The large projection tv was fun in the evenings.cynthiaMay 2016
The place was excellent and felt like home as soon as we stepped in the door. Everything was clean and tidy and all facilities in place. We stayed there only over a weekend, but I think this would make for a good place to stay for a week or even longer.Guðmundur F.August 2014
Great location in one of the oldest streets in town. House was spotless. Enjoyed the home cinema one night. Arni couldn't have been more helpful even though he was out of the country. We locked ourselves out and i left my phone behind but he went out of his way to sort it out. Really enjoyed breakfast in the sun from the local bakery in the garden. Would definitely stay here again.johnnyAugust 2014
The house was simply gorgeous! In the middle of Isafjördur, everything handy, we could even wash and dry our clothes and the beamer was fun watch TV. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back! A tip: Do the horse ride - it was so much fun, esp. to watch the movie that was made whilst riding, afterwards :) Thanks a lot for everything!BeateSeptember 2015
Our second Easter at Árni's. Lovely house and everything in line with our expectations. The Fussball table is always a hit.Guðbjörg AnnaMarch 2016
Very nice apartment right in the center of town. Little difficulty finding it but the picture helped us locate. Nice bedroom on main floor with kitchen, dining room, living room and bathroom. Second bedroom on top floor has slanted roofline and is a little tight. For the same price as a hotel room you can not beat this place.DanJune 2016
Hervorragend gelegene Wohnung im Zentrum von Isafjördur. Geräumig und sinnvoll ausgestattet.JochenJuly 2016
Very communicative and welcoming.LindseyJuly 2016
Description was accurate. Comfortable tasteful well located Nice artMitchellJuly 2016
A gracious and communicative welcome and a wonderful stay. Our only disappointment was not being able to stay longer in such a beautiful apartment right in the center of town. We couldn't have been happier.EricAugust 2016
What a beautiful place! If you're in Isafjordur this is 100% the place. We even had salmon waiting for us in the freezer - and man was the bed comfortable. Beautiful town - and probably the best spot. Nothing significant to complain about - wifi is limited here but you should rent a bike instead anyway it's a great time!MatthewAugust 2016
We only had a quick stay, but the place was so lovely and homey, we greatly enjoyed it. Gunnar was communicative and very helpful. Thanks!LindyAugust 2016
Gunnar's top floor apartment was as described and the attic bedroom and extra space was a big hit with our two children. It was quiet and had all the amenities we expected.JosephAugust 2016
We didn't get to meet Eiríkur, but we absolutely loved this house! It was adorable, clean, and in a great location for exploring the town and the Westfjords. We were four adults and the house was the perfect size for us. We would definitely stay here again!AliciaJune 2016
A great house to stay in Isafjordur, very nice, quite big, well located. Radrikur was really clear with informations. I definitely recommend this place to discover the area !VéroniqueJuly 2016
This is a beautiful family home. Excellent for groups of three or more who want a bit more space. Rádríkur also gave plenty of helpful advice for exploring the town and region.KeithJuly 2016
This home is wonderful! Situated right in the town square where everything is close and within walking distance, this place is the perfect stop to absorb the Isafjordur culture and people. The house itself is quaint and lovely with a very lived-in feel - a wonderfully stocked kitchen, a lot of sitting room, and lovely little bedrooms. The place is well-kept and relatively clean. We had an amazing time and highly, highly recommend this charming home!!Bri'AnnAugust 2016
The place is much bigger and nicer than it seems from the photos. It is in a quiet residential are but only a two minute walk to the main square. We loved the place and Erikur was alway quick to respond and very friendly. The home is decorated with a cool and quirky style that I really liked.AaronJuly 2016
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans cette maison typique de la vieille ville d'Isafjordur. Merci à nos hôtes de nous avoir fait complètement confiance en laissant leur maison à notre disposition, nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous et n'avions plus envie de repartir! Nous espérons que tous les visiteurs sauront apprécier et honorer cette confiance. La maison est très bien située dans la ville et est un bon point de départ pour des balades, découvertes... Merci beaucoup, nous connaissions déjà Isafjordur et depuis votre maisons, nous avons eu un vrai coup de cœur pour cette ville :)NewJuly 2016
We were welcome in radrikur's home in isafjordur. It was hard to find as the airbnb listing did not include the house number, only the street. The key wasn't as described, but the neighbors helped us. Being fairly new to airbnb I hadn't asked the host for specific directions to the house, which I should have done.ShannonJuly 2016
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit im Haus von Eiríkur und seiner Familie. Eiríkur hat uns die Anfahrt und Details zur Unterkunft genau beschrieben, wir haben alles problemlos gefunden. Auf unsere Fragen hat er schnell reagiert und uns tolle Tipps für Wanderungen und Restaurants gegeben. Das Haus liegt sehr schön und sehr zentral in der Altstadt von Ísafjörður, von dort aus ist alles zu Fuß erreichbar (bspw. Bäckerei, Bank, Restaurants etc.). Das Haus ist gemütlich, familienfreundlich und stilvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder kommen.FabianJuly 2016
A big and beautiful flat in Isafjordur, where I spent two nights this summer with two friends. Very clean apartment, very spacious, with a big living room, a big kitchen, nice rooms including comfortable beds. And, last but not least, a location in the middle of the (great) north-west fjords. A good place to stay if you're around.BenoîtAugust 2016
Our stay in Ísafjörður was made all the more appealing by Baggo´s spacious ,well equipped ,clean and comfortable apartment right on the main street . Everything is close by and the view over the harbour and mountains is amazing on a still summer night . Would recommend this place for a family or/and as a couples retreat.ÁslaugAugust 2016
The place is very comfortable and is in a great location. Loved it!JaniceSeptember 2016
Frábær íbúð á besta stað í bænum - takk fyrir okkur :)RíkeyAugust 2016
Great location. Great apartment. Perfect spot to explore westfjords fromDevonSeptember 2016
Great location in downtown Isafjordur. The apartment is neat and tidy. The host is really nice and easy to get in contact with. Me and my wife stayed there over a weekend along with two other couples. Will definitely stay there again in the future.AndriAugust 2016
Great for groups and families, perfect location in town, detailed directions and easy to find. Just perfect!CatherineAugust 2016
Great little apartment at the end of our stay. A last-minute find that I only wish had been free the day before too!DanSeptember 2016
Sigridur was a fabulous host! I was driving to Isafjordur and it took way longer than expected. She was very nice about a late check in and extremely helpful when I arrived with not only planning my next day in the westfjords, but I also had a problem with my stay back in Reykjavik and she went above and beyond to find me a potential place to stay once I got back into town that next weekend. As for the room... it was awesome. Definitely the nicest place I stayed my entire trip. Very comfy bed, tons of space, beautiful view, shower with amazing water pressure. My only regret is not staying longer, or having more time to enjoy the beautiful space. I would say here again in a heartbeat and would recommend to my friends and family.NicoleJune 2015
Excellent location, very clean, everything that one would need to make them feel at home. Our host made us feel very welcome; also enjoyed their dog. The house number was not listed on the posting and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps wants to take you up the wrong way on the one way road it is on. I found the bed a little firmer than I like, but that is a personal preference. If I was traveling through the area again I would for sure look at staying here again.JudgeAugust 2016
Sigríður was an excellent host. Her studio apartment is perfect for 2 people - it is wonderfully updated, clean, and has everything you could possibly need. Sigríður happily greeted us (along with her sweet dogs!) and left us a little something fun in the fridge. Aside from falling in love with Ísafjörður, my husband and I did not want to leave this place. It was very comfortable, welcoming, and a quick walk to downtown. We were so happy here and would highly recommend Sigríður's apartment to anyone willing to make the awesome journey to Ísafjörður.KatyAugust 2014
Had car trouble, didn't make it up to Isafjördur. Host was very gracious and communicative, although no refund, which i suppose he isn't obligated to give.willAugust 2015
I absolutely loved my stay. Everything was perfect: the studio apartment has everything one might need and is very clean and comfortable. It is a short walk to the centre of Ísafjörður. I stayed 4 nights and would recommend it to anyone. Sigriður is fabulous. My only regret was not finding more time to chat with her!NatashaAugust 2015
We spent here only one night but we enjoyed the place, clean and comfortable. Sigríður is a really warm host, willing to make everything perfect, and communication with her was very good. Surely a very nice place to stay in Isafjordur.GiovannaAugust 2014
This was our first Airbnb stay and weren't sure what to expect, but Sigridur couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The apartment is in a great location in town, with a lovely garden view, and was clean and quiet. Thanks for making our first Airbnb stay so nice!Elizabeth June 2016
We had a very pleasant stay - the apartment was as described. Our hosts gave us some nice recommendations while still giving us plenty of privacy. It was a convenient walk down the street to the downtown and was quiet and peaceful since it was in a residential neighborhood.RobinMay 2015

CURBED staffer Lauren Ro reports that the world's first solar panel road has opened in France.
The project spans the length of one kilometer in the small village of Tourouvre-au-Perche in Normandy. Dubbed Wattway, the road is covered in 2,800 square meters of photovoltaic panels, and cost about $5.2 million to construct. It will be used by about 2,000 motorists per day during a two-year trial period, and is hoped to generate enough energy to power all of the street lights in the town of 3,400 residents.
France's ecology minister Ségolène Royal inaugurated the road on December 22, and the panels were created by Colas after a five-year development period. The pavers were first tested at four parking lots across the country. If successful, Wattway and other solar panel roads could pave (pun intended) the roadway of the future.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to motor control systems, and more specifically, to a motor control system for centrifugals used in sugar refining machines and the like which implement graduated motor speed control to provide superior processing performance.
2. Description of the Related Art
Centrifugals used in refining sugar and similar substances are required to separate particulate sugar crystals from the syrup fraction of the massecuite, magma, or mother liquor that serves as the raw material in the refining process. When they are used in this way, they generally are classified as affination centrifugals. Also, they are used to spin moisture from the crystallized sugar during the cleaning process. When used in this way, they are called white sugar centrifugals.
The type of centrifugal used in these applications generally is the filter or basket centrifugal. FIG. 1 shows a typical centrifugal of this type. The centrifugal has a drive motor assembly 2 composed of a main drive motor 4 and a discharge drive motor 6 which alternately drive a perforated basket 8 disposed in a housing or curb 10. The basket 8 is usually about four feet high and three feet in diameter and can hold about 830 lb of raw sugar.
When used to separate impurities from the sugar product, the massecuite is loaded into the basket 8 and the main drive motor 4 spins the basket 8 to cause impurities in the massecuite to separate from the sugar due to centrifugal force. The screen of the basket 8 has apertures sufficiently small to retain sugar crystals included in the mixture, but the impurities pass through the perforations in the basket 8 and are drained off at the bottom of the curb 10. The sugar crystals accumulate on the screen and are held there by centrifugal force.
After the mixture has been separated, the basket 8 is spun down through a combination of regenerative motor braking and brake 12, and some sugar crystals adhere to the screen. These must be removed by a plow device 14 such as a knife or scraper that transits the screen surface of the basket 8 at a slow rotational speed when driven in reverse by the discharge motor 6. Once the sugar crystals have been removed from the sides of the basket 8 by the plow 14, a bell valve 16 in the basket 8 is raised or lowered (in the design shown in FIG. 1, it is lowered) to permit the sugar product to pass therethrough and be collected for further processing.
One stage of the additional processing involves the drying of a sugar slurry. At this point, it is necessary to remove moisture from the slurry by centrifugal spinning. This process involves a similar use of the centrifugal in which the slurry is introduced into the centrifugal basket 8 and excess moisture is spun out using the main drive motor 4. Then, the plow 14 is used to plow out the cake of dried sugar crystals formed during the spinning process while the basket 8 is driven by the discharge motor 6.
Prior art systems have used two-speed induction motors for main drive motor 4 to implement the above-described operations. Idealized speed and torque curves for a centrifugal cycle using such a motor are shown by traces 21 and 22 in FIG. 2, respectively, and trace 23 in FIG. 3 shows an actual cycle graph for a two-speed induction drive or current source modulated (CSM) centrifugal drive. The primary figure of merit in these systems is the cycle time, which is the amount of time required for the centrifugal to fully complete one sequential cycle of loading 26, accelerating 28, spinning 30, decelerating 32 and plowing out 34.
In the CSM drive arrangement, the main drive motor 4 is accelerated in its low speed mode until it reaches a desired loading speed (as shown in the Figure, about 250 rpm). The basket 8 is loaded, and the motor 4 is accelerated in high speed mode to spin the massecuite at about 1200 rpm to remove its impurities. Then, the centrifugal is decelerated, reversed, and plowed out as described above.
Operation of the CSM type drive has proven to be problematic for reasons of, for example, poor speed regulation capabilities, loss of kinetic energy due to high-slip operation and the brake 12, high maintenance requirements, and inability to use such motors in hazardous environments.
To partially overcome some of the above problems, prior art systems also have utilized pulse width modulated (PWM) drives for main drive 6, where the speed of the motor 6 is controlled by pulse width modulation. Trace 24 in FIG. 4 shows a typical cycle for a PWM centrifugal.
While these centrifugal systems function adequately, they have several disadvantages. For example, the amount of sugar that can be produced by a batch-type centrifugal such as those described above is necessarily limited by its cycle time.
Since the centrifugal runs in essentially a continuous operation, a cycle time decrease of a few seconds can result in a substantial increase in the efficiency (and consequently, productivity) of the machine. For example, a ten second decrease in a 150 second cycle time can result in an increase of 700,000 pounds of sugar per day over several centrifugals.
Within the cycle time, the loading and spinning time are generally constant for any centrifugal. While the accelerating, decelerating and plowing out phases are variable, they are limited at the lower end by the physical integrity of the centrifugal drive mechanism and by the quality of the finished product.
While the cycle time of prior art centrifugals has generally been viewed as being limited in part by their braking and plow-out times, the inventor has discovered that by implementing variable, non-linear curves for the deceleration and plow-out phases of the cycle, the cycle time itself can be significantly reduced. Further, the inventor has discovered that this technique provides a significant reduction in power consumption from both the faster cycle time and as a result of the synergistic advantages provided by this technique.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a drive control system for a centrifugal that has a reduced cycle time as compared to conventional drive systems.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a centrifugal system that has the ability to optimize the deceleration of the system based on a given drive motor's characteristics.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a drive control system for a centrifugal that implements a dynamic braking function that tracks the dynamic braking curve of its drive motor.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a drive control system for a centrifugal that transitions from spin to plow-out in a minimum amount of time.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a drive control system for a centrifugal that plows out finished product in a minimum amount of time.
It also is an object of the present invention to provide a centrifugal that consumes less power than do conventional systems.
The above objects are achieved by providing a drive control system for a centrifugal that optimizes the deceleration and plow-out phases of its operation based on the torque characteristics of its particular drive motor. This is achieved by providing a centrifugal having a PWM frequency-modulated drive controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) running a ladder logic program. The ladder logic program implements a regenerative braking loop which complements the dynamic braking characteristic curve of the drive motor, thereby obtaining an optimal amount of braking torque for the motor over a wide range of motor rpms. Preferably, the system also implements a dynamic plow-out control for the motor when in plow-out mode to enable the centrifugal to be plowed-out in a minimal amount of time.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the presently preferred exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional affination or white sugar centrifugal;
FIG. 2 is a graph of rpm versus time and motor torque versus time for an idealized cycle for an affination centrifugal;
FIG. 3 is a graph of rpm versus time for an actual cycle of a CSM centrifugal drive;
FIG. 4 is a graph of rpm versus time for an actual cycle of a PWM centrifugal drive;
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a graph of rpm versus time for an actual cycle of a centrifugal according to the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the overall operation of a control program according to the present invention;
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of a regenerative braking process according to the present invention; and
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a plow-out process according to the present invention.
FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and trace 35 in FIG. 6 is a graph of its cycle.
As shown in FIG. 5, an alternating current (AC) line 36 provides power to a plurality of centrifugal drive units 38. Preferably, each of the drive units is a Model 8804 Adjustable Frequency Controller Unit manufactured by the Square D Company of Raleigh, N.C.
Within each of the centrifugal drive units 38, the AC power is converted to DC power by an AC-DC converter 40 and fed to a DC bus 42 common to all drive units 38. This common DC bus structure 42 is essential to the dynamic regenerative braking capabilities of the present invention, as will be discussed in greater detail below.
As is known in the art, regenerative braking uses back EMF signals generated by an electrical motor when it is decelerated to provide electrical energy to associated devices. In the context of multiple centrifugals in a sugar refinery or the like, regenerative braking energy from a centrifugal in the braking phase of its cycle may advantageously be used to power another centrifugal which is in its acceleration or spin phase over a common bus. That is, when the motor is being decelerated, its inertia causes it to spin faster than it would be able solely from the operative power applied thereto. This induces a back EMF in the motor, causing it to act as a generator and output electrical power. Using this braking scheme, the mechanical brake 12 shown in FIG. 1 can be eliminated.
In the above-described system utilizing a common DC bus 42, the cycle of each centrifugal advantageously is staggered relative to other units to most effectively use regenerative braking energy supplied to the common DC bus 42.
Within each drive unit 38, the DC bus 42 feeds a DC-AC inverter 44. The DC-AC inverter 44 converts DC power on the DC bus 42 to AC power to operate drive motor 6. The inverter 44 is responsive to a programmable logic controller (PLC) 46 which controls the inverter 44 to selectively provide a drive voltage to the drive motor 6. The PLC 46 receives as an input a signal representative of the voltage drop across a shunt resistor 48. Preferably, the shunt resistor 48 is of a small value such as 0.1 Ω resistor. By monitoring the voltage drop across the shunt resistor 48, the PLC 46 can effectively monitor the backfed EMF generated by the drive motor 6.
The PLC 46 runs a control program 50 which selectively applies driving voltages to the drive motor 6 based on its rotational speed. Preferably, the PLC 46 is a Model 450 Processor manufactured by the Square D company of Raleigh, N.C. Also, the control program preferably is written using a ladder logic program such as the one provided with the above-noted Model 450 processor. A copy of a preferred embodiment of a control program 50 used in a preferred embodiment of the present invention for one PLC 46 is shown in APPENDIX A.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the overall operation of the control program 50. At Step 52, the drive motor 6 is ramped up to 280 rpms. At Step 54, the basket 8 is loaded with approximately 830 pounds of massecuite or white sugar while maintaining the rotational speed of the drive motor 6 at 280 rpms. At Step 56, the drive motor is accelerated to 1200 rpm and at Step 57, it spins at this speed for 10 to 50 seconds depending on the type of sugar being processed.
Of particular interest in the context of the present invention are the last two steps in this process. In Step 58, the motor 6 is decelerated using a dynamic regenerative braking technique described in more detail below. In Step 60, the motor is driven in a two-stage dynamic plow-out operation to remove the finished product.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart describing the regenerative braking process 58 in greater detail. In Step 62, a gradually decreasing voltage signal is applied to the motor 6. This signal is designed to reduce the speed of the motor 6 from 1200 rpm to a stationary position in 29 seconds; however, when the motor 6 reaches a rotational speed of 900 rpm, the PLC 46 applies another gradually decreasing voltage signal to the motor 6 in Step 62. This second signal is designed to further reduce the speed of the motor 6 from the aforementioned 900 rpm to a stationary position in 52 seconds. Again, this signal is not permitted to run its course. Instead, when the motor 6 reaches 500 rpm, a third voltage gradient is applied to the motor 6 to enable it to stop completely in 40 seconds in Step 64.
By using a segmented braking curve as described above rather than a constant straight line curve as in prior art systems, the particular dynamic braking characteristics of a particular drive motor can be advantageously matched to obtain the maximum amount of available braking torque at any given speed. Since the drive system is able to extract more braking torque from the motor 6 than usual, it is able to bring the motor 6 to a halt more quickly and consequently can begin the plow-out phase sooner.
FIG. 9 provides a more detailed description of the plow-out process 34 shown in FIG. 6. Once the motor 6 is stationary, the PLC 46 applies a gradually increasing voltage designed to accelerate the motor to 300 rpm at a maximum rate in Step 68. When the motor 6 reaches this speed, it is inertially braked to 150 rpm in Step 70, and the plow 14 is engaged in Step 72.
Preferably, the plow-out operation does not rely on the frequency feedback capabilities of the drive motor 6 to accurately gauge the rotational speed of the motor. Instead, it uses a speed switch to provide a true measurement of the motor's speed to the PLC 46.
In contrast to prior art systems which require that the motor 6 be driven to a relatively high speed to provide sufficient torque to accomplish a satisfactory plow-out operation, the present invention is able to increase the torque of the system when it is most needed while still allowing the system to perform the actual plow-out operation at a relatively low speed. In this way, the plow-out time can be significantly reduced while maintaining a thorough plow-out.
Surprising improvements in the centrifuging process can be realized with the present invention. For example, when compared with the present invention, prior art system require 74% more energy in terms of kilowatt-hour consumption, 60% more raw kilowatts, and 830% more KVAR-hours. The energy cost per cycle of a typical prior art system is about 9.21� per cycle, compared with 5.27� per cycle for the invention, a 74.6% increase.
Variations on the above-described preferred embodiments of this invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, as noted above, the present invention may be used not only to control affination centrifugals, but can be used in other phases of the refining process as well. For example, the invention can be used in a white sugar centrifugal with little modification other than increasing the length of the spin phase of the centrifugal cycle to allow the sugar to be dried sufficiently. Also, the invention is not limited to food refining application; rather, it can be used in any applications where dynamic motor braking is effective.
Although a few preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims. ##SPC1##

It's not always easy getting a straight answer out of Michael Howard. Ask Jeremy Paxman, who famously asked him 12 times if he had threatened to overrule the boss of the prison service.
The former Conservative leader was similarly tricky to pin down more recently when questioned by journalists about a letter he wrote last year to the government minister Michael Fallon in his new guise as chairman of his Somali company Soma Oil & Gas.
In it he described how the Soma job was "an appointment I accepted with the encouragement of the FCO".
However, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office flatly denied giving any such encouragement. There followed long and baffling verbal jousting between Lord Howard and the media about what the phrase actually meant.
Anyway, since then, a Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation has been launched into alleged bribery of Somali officials by Soma, following a damning, and subsequently leaked, interim report by United Nations monitors. Soma strenuously denies wrongdoing and there is no suggestion Lord Howard was involved. He is not personally under investigation by the SFO.
On Thursday, he published a letter he has written to the UN security council criticising the leak and saying the investigators completely misinterpreted Soma's payments.
In a combative accompanying press release, Soma warns that the leak left Somali officials vulnerable to attack from militants and could delay much-needed oil exploration in the cash-strapped country.
As for the investigation itself, Lord Howard writes that the UN monitors showed a "basic misunderstanding" of the oil industry and says the law firm DLA Piper advised Soma throughout on anti-corruption measures.
Besides, he adds, the payments Soma made are standard in developing countries, where staff need training before dealing with the consequences of big oil finds.
For good measure, he includes a document from another law firm, Akin Gump, describing how such payments, known as "capacity building arrangements", are often made. To my mind, the Akin Gump stuff serves little purpose beyond spin, given that the UN report itself says CBAs are "relatively common". The thing is, they usually involve funding for scholarships, training programmes and the like. Not alleged direct payments to civil servants. It isn't CBAs per se that the report criticises, it's Soma's CBAs.
Furthermore, the UN report may not be as naive as Soma claims. It cites advice and evidence drawn from "oil and gas experts, legal experts and diplomats" during its investigation, not to mention current and former Somali government officials.
Still, Soma and Lord Howard must now be given a chance to respond, preferably in a public forum.
For Somalia to move on and enjoy its oil wealth, we need clarity and transparency about Soma's actions.Reuse content

So glad they voted this down.
So glad they voted this down.
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits" - Einstein
Hardly surprised this was turned down....I mean Kingsway and University Ave and 111 St are much bigger issues and we know how those places turned out.
Anyhow, this wasn't the point in time to revisit the design, this should have been done years ago....like when we brought up this idea on this thread (still don't see why they didn't consider a cut and cover to cross Whyte versus a full blown elevated portion for 10 blocks)...
In all honesty, being a tram system, the train can wait at certain key intersections like Whyte ave. No need to pre-empt signals for priority.
Save the elevated designs for our actual LRT portions.
Any word yet which Councillors were in favour and against?
Last edited by moahunter; 18-04-2017 at 01:47 PM.
Also I'm calling the low floor system (aka Valley Line) as tram because thats what the rest of the world calls them. (bombardier themselves call LRVs a tram).
I call our existing system an LRT. I'm not using them interchangeably.
I also disagree with the 30 second wait estimate. This will create the exact same problems that have been noted at University Ave, 51st Ave, Whitemud ramps, near Kingsway. And those waits for cars are far over 30 seconds during peak hours.
Next there is the cost of accidents, cars, LRTs, injury and death costs.
Next there is a lost benefit of having the LRT travel faster which can move more people faster, attract more people from cars.
Oops, was hoping for better. It's not only about saving "30 seconds"; at-grade crossings over major roadways compromise the LRTs ability to increase frequency. For comparison, Calgary runs 3 minute peak frequencies on their system. I don't think any of our lines are (or will be) capable of that. Unfortunate
It would have been a lot of wasted money that could have gone towards option #4 for Nait instead.
Mom said I should not talk to cretins!
Or running the Valley further west.
Disappointed, but used to it with this council. Can't wait for the election.
I think the sad thing is that Edmonton doesn't do well with integrating car, pedestrian, bike and LRT traffic. Put a bike lane on the wrong street, people complain.
I think the city would do good having a red-light left-turn signal on 83 Street Northbound.
"Talk minus action equals zero." - Joe Keithley, D. O. A.
This is not overkill. The existing system enables trains to travel between Century Park and Clareview in about the same amount of time (33 minutes) as they will take to travel between Mill Woods and Downtown on the Valley Line.
^ gotta agree with Gunter on this one.

It stops before there to allow an outbound train to leave the station first.
Gunter makes some good points. This whole Valley Line has been poorly planned from Day 1. Now that Council hasn't approved the elevated section at BD, it's going to be that much more difficult to approve grade separated sections where they'd be appropriate on the west leg.
Having said that, the line is being built, there's no going back, and the elevated section would have at least made the SE leg workable. This route was approved years ago, before some of the current councillors were elected, so it's not completely their fault. But they had a chance to salvage something here, and they didn't.
^^Which is necessary because both trains need to use the cross-over to be on the correct side, which is only a conflict because the trains are scheduled to cross one of the major avenues at the same time to reduce impact on the light cycle there.
There can only be one.
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction" - Blaise Pascal
Our city planners really need to decide what they are building. Is it rapid transit or a streetcar? Street cars can operate in their own ROW too. A streetcar has frequent stops. Rapid transit stops less frequently and travels faster.
Its pretty easy to see the differences when going to a city like San Francisco. Subways, LRT, streetcars, tourist cable cars, trolleys, buses.
So long as City Administration continues to weigh the possible development aspirations along the route higher than the efficiency of the line transit in this town will remain a black hole of money, time & effort.
Highest fare, lowest fare recovery & a network designed without efficiency in mind, the hallmarks of ETS. I'm sure we'll get it right in 20 years, just as autonomous driving makes our relatively well-planned road network a true asset for modern transportation systems, or would have if we didn't intentionally jack it up to artificially prop up & incentivize mediocre-at-best transit.

Where would the extra $220 million have come from this late in the game?
Live and love... your neighbourhood.
^ That's only a guess, it might have been significantly less but since admin didn't get a quote from TransEd Partners we'll never know.
The extra money could come from delaying the west part of the line for a year or so, or from lopping off the part past WEM that doesn't make much sense.
Or from a tax increase, or debt.
There can only be one.
Or perhaps lobbying the NDP for some of the carbon tax revenues earmarked for transit anyways.

I am quite certain this line will be a success. It will give people all along this line frequent fast, not rapid, public transport to downtown all day seven days a week. It will give them the connectivity and access like no other transportation system we have. We don't need a Go train to help accelerate the development of far off suburbs we need to improve the transportation system within the city. This line has the potential to encourage development whereas our current system is geared to the commuter.
What makes me furious is council does not want the system to be the best it can be. They had an outcome that they wanted to achieve and made up a story to suit their purpose. The mayor is quote as saying "$220 mil to save a few seconds". Two lies in one we all know this is a grossly inflated figure and since when does 30 seconds become a few. Then to justify their decision they say it will take traffic off the road so it doesn't matter if motorists are delayed. Tell that to the people in Sherwood park who are trying to get downtown.
This whole exercise was just a core up for the wrong decision they made initially. Making a mistake is not a sin not fixing is.
Canada is the only country in the world that knows how to live without an identity,-Marshall McLuhan
Forget Sherwood Park. I had to make a trip from Griesbach to Lendrum earlier this week. The best route was 97, high level, 111. No traffic at all, but I got hung up pretty bad at both NAIT and on 111 St from LRT. Traffic did not impede my progress, the trains did. And other than driving down residential streets, there was no "other route". The same is going to occur at 82nd. Anyone in Argyll, King Edward, and Avonmore that gets groceries at Bonnie Doon is hooped. What detour will they use? Even if they use 75 St, every road back toward the mall still has tracks across it.
What a mess.

No, no, no... don't worry, it's all gonna be good. They'll only be delayed 30 seconds by the trains... oh, wait, the intersection's failing and will be operating at level F in a few years anyway (so they say, believe them if you will). Well, they can all just use the train... oh, wait, it's a low capacity streetcar, but it'll be high frequency... oh, wait, they won't be able to run high frequencies because of the at-grade crossings.
Yup, you're right, what a mess...
And the traffic will freaking bad going east and west on 82nd ave so the recommendation is to take alternate routes which are also blocked and increase travel times or take transit which is buses also stuck in the same traffic waiting for slow streetcars going north and south.
So after the lines opens way later than scheduled as the norm here in River City, then they will realize that they need to elevate the line in Boone Doon and have to make more long detours and even shut the streetcar down through that section until they can rebuild the line.
Messy, messy and more messy

I've seen drivers cut through neighbourhoods in South Edmonton to get to their houses, thanks to the LRT. I'd like to see overhead cameras like they have on the busy intersections, so they can adjust the lights.

Unfortunately, I am no longer surprised by how this council responds to critical response or alternative proposals from citizens - they are generally ignored or dismissed.
I think our more recent councils are better than the ones under Jan Reimer or Cec Purves. One group could complain at the 11th hour, and a project wouldn't go ahead.

Advocating a better Edmonton through effective, efficient and economical transit.
This thread is typically full of blowhards defending their right to drive without interruption.
Unfortunately they can have no such right.
Public transport outweighs all private conveyances.
Get used to it.
^ umm, no.
The 'blowhards' have concerns that the line as designed will not function well, and will impede all modes of transport in the Bonnie Doon area. Bus riders, cyclists, pedestrians, taxi riders and LRT riders will all be affected by this poor design, as will drivers and passengers in private autos as well as commercial traffic.
I have no intention of 'getting used to' poorly designed and implemented transportation projects in this city.

We had our Zone A citizen working group update meeting yesterday which went well.
Some new renderings, station details and schedule update.
Perhaps the most important update was the extent of construction information/plan for 102ave. Image to follow.
I'm not sure if this is within the scope of the LRT, but is there talk of a pedway to the renovated library?
"Talk minus action equals zero." - Joe Keithley, D. O. A.
^Why would there be a pedway? The valley line stops right outside at grade.

Especially since the library is under renovations until or about phase 1 of Valley gets to Churchill.
Mom said I should not talk to cretins!
The pedway could connect between the Library and LRT, or the tunnel to City Centre Mall.
"Talk minus action equals zero." - Joe Keithley, D. O. A.
I'm sure the boffins have something superlative in mind.
Nisi Dominus Frustra
Another example of how this project seems to run counter to city plans regarding pedestrian access. (first is Louise Mckinney Park EW trail closed for 4 years - only trail on downtown side of river valley) This trail is closed completely for two and a half months with no alternative way or side route. Go on the road it seems. Guess Vision Zero is only working on vehicular issues and not pedestrian dangers. But for cars we will pave over green area to give you a temporary way out. Sigh!
My antidepressent drug of choice is running. Cheaper with less side effects!
I wonder if construction scaffolding could be placed on the respect bike trail, like office construction.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: I travel for work a lot and maintain a few homes. This is one of them. I live in this apartment when I am in Miami and am able to make it available to others when I am not in residence. I am sure that you will enjoy staying here as much as I do.
Why the Owner Chose Brickell, Miami, FL, USA:
There were hundreds of condos for sale in Miami, when I started looking, and I think I saw almost all of them before I bought this one. I had been searching for six months and when I saw this apartment, I knew it was the one. I loved the views, the project design, the atmosphere, the location and the over-the-top amenities. The floor to ceiling glass walls make me feel like I'm part of the river scene. The pool area is beautiful, and you can even see part of the bay, Miami Beach, and the Key Biscayne Causeway. And I guarantee, if you look carefully enough, you WILL see dolphins and manatees swimming in the river, right from the window!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The Icon is truly one of a kind. The decor of the lobby, media room, spa area, restaurant, cafe, and the rest of the common areas, have to be seen to be believed. Additionally, the W Hotel provides a unique vibe.

text: I know there's a couple out there I've heard whispers about but I can't really remember them. I know you can look at the main site backwards by using Elgoog. if you type in the word "askew" in the Google search box and click search things become crooked Also if you type "Answer to life" "answer to universe" "answer to anything" the top result is the #42, which is a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference that google programmers seemed to like. Are you aware of any of these features on Google? If so please share for my sake and possibly others as I find entertainment in some of the most simplest things.


text: I understand that it makes indexing and searching a little slower on the the server, but so many search terms for firearms are less than 4 chars. AAC 51T Sig 938 300 blk STI GSG CZ 455 And on and on. Quite often I can't figure out any way to find posts I know are in here somewhere. And of course I can never find lots of stuff I don't know about, which is the point of search. Better searches mean people find stuff easier so there are fewer duplicate threads and forsale items reach more people so that's more benefits. Could still disallow common words. Or maybe make a list of firearm terms to whitelist in searches. Thanks
