> Yeah, Edmonton has a LOT of suburbs. When added all together, the greater Edmonton area has over a million people. Without counting the suburbs though, Edmonton only has about 600 000 or so. Let's see....if memory serves (so don't trust me on this) we have Spruce Grove and Stony Plain to the west, Sherwood Part to the east, St. Albert and Castle Downs to the North, and Leduc (which is atually a lot farther away then the other suburbs; it might still be considered its own town) and the international airport to the south. I think that Capilano is also around somewhere close, but I'm not sure in what direction. Of course, most of the people in the suburbs work in Edmonton. At would seem that during rush hour, if there are 1 000 000 people on the roads, the road's limit is around 990 000. It slows substantually, but we're not usually at a dead stop ever (except if there's an accident). > > -Ka"Hope this helps for...well...whatever...."z!
I thought one or two of those you named were just communities of Edmonton, like our Hawkwood and Mount Royal and Edgemont, but I don't know for sure. I know that most of the ones you listed are communities that were absorbed, although Leduc is still considered completely separate to the best of my knowledge. I think the reason why Calgary hasn't absorbed too many communities, though, is because we are surrounded by arable farmland, and so there weren't too many closely place communities to begin with. But I'm not sure.
