Those simply will not function for any length of time as retail. There is nowhere near enough density, foot traffic now or in the mid-term and they are hidden.

I expect a couple of localized 'amenities'/med/prof, but otherwise these will sit.
 
I think they'll sit too, but I'll stay positive and pray for success. It is not an Edmonton isolated thing as it is right across NA. I guess the last option for these retail bays would be to turn them into ground floor lofts or some form of short term apartment rentals?
 
There should be an announcement on the tower within the next couple of months... all told with employment from Epcor, CN and City Hall with close association vis-a-vis RAM and now with added residential components tower 1 (almost finished) and tower 2 (with a soon-to-be-announced start) all that is needed is a couple of hospitality ventures and then (what I call) smart Retail (3-pronged presence -- in situ, internet, and community collaboration) will begin to be evident. Negative prognostication aside, let's see what develops.

Biggest issue is how they resolve the issues of this area and the shelters a block and 2 blocks directly north. The shelters aren't the problem but the lack of cleanliness I've seen left there unattended more often than not.

I think we here in North America are really good at ruminating. More often than not I think though that what really happens is we use the excuse of ruminating, where as we are more simply kicking the can down the road hoping that the problem will be passed along to someone else.

Politicians often think in cycles of four years or less, which not coincidentally is related to when elections are held.

However, sometimes they can be embarrassed into dealing with things or convinced it is beneficial for them to do so.
