Deep utilities, Water or Sanitary. But there are a lot of power and data lines not connected either.

103ave between 103rd and 104th street has constantly been under construction for the last five years (or more, I only know for the time that I've lived DT), only real breaks in tearing up the street have been from winter conditions.

It's sad that considering the ice district is supposed to be a big attraction for the downtown core, one would think that the city would make sure that construction would be expedited around the district.

At risk of being labeled ageist… look how well this trendy clothing store targeting youth/young adults is doing on whyte ave. I still think Ice District would benefit from the clout of stores like this and it would help rebrand our downtown in the eyes of its future potential residents.

Checked out the outdoor movie screening with a couple of friends in the ice district plaza today and really enjoyed it! I look forward to visiting this spot over the next few months as more stores open up, the ice rink gets going again, and hopefully a nice Christmas tree gets installed!

Was the white/lit background border annoying? Could they not expand the viewable area to minimize that I wonder?

Nice to see the space being used though.

At least you are beginning to understand who you are... that's the first sign on the road to recovery.

Haha. Anymore thoughts on how “unnecessary a trendy clothing store would be?” Or how appealing to youth/YAs isn’t needed?

Seems like whyte is finding success with that, along with different projects at malls around the city.

Pretty tough to have a great future for our downtown when the 15-25 year olds think it’s boring and have 0 reason to visit. This is the perfect spot to start to change that.

Didn't notice this before, but the original dressing room doors from Rexall Place are in the Oilers Store in the Connect Center.

Anyone have an update on what the status of this is?

For some reason the image didn't come over properly but that's the CWB building.

^^^^ Knee-deep in the production of construction documents (with the allowance of an additional 5 floors).

Nah man, nothing makes me feel like a place is bumping like a handful of closed banks at 9pm.

I think 9 pm is optimistic - doesn't City Centre close earlier than that? Yes, little downtown is open late but that goes beyond the bank to "safety issues" or maybe perceptions.

Somehow lots of other cities manage to keep retail stores open in the evening, but apparently downtown is too scary for Edmontonians to venture into after dark.

There are some legitimate issues, but we also need to get a grip on things and quit falling prey to fear.
