I see 3-6 cleaners in Vancouver anytime I walk somewhere. I see 0-1 here in Edmonton. Clearly different levels of intentionality and funding.

But also a higher level of care by business owners and the general community I would say.
I cannot wait to see these awful blights with paved, drained and well crafted spaces. The lady I saw get out of her car stepped into a puddle, almost slipped and penguin walked to the sidewalk for safety. Unacceptable, unsafe and blights on the goals of our collective Downtown and city.

$106 million is apparently allocated for downtown revitalization by the province over the next three years under "Edmonton Downtown and Coliseum Site Improvement"

Alberta Budget 2025: Province sets aside $106 million in Edmonton deal with city, OEG to demolish Coliseum, build event park and Downtown development
Alberta’s answer to Edmonton’s calls for arena funding as Calgary could be a $106-million agreement with the Oilers Entertainment Group.
edmontonjournal.com
- 52 million for an event park in Downtown Edmonton just east of the arena
- $37.5 million to demolish the Northlands Coliseum, former home of the Edmonton Oilers, and improve the site
- $16.4 million to prepare the land at the Village at Ice District, an expansive private development by Katz Group expected to include retail and commercial space alongside new housing units
"Descriptions of the “event park” located east of Rogers Place appear to describe the location where the OEG’s named “fan park” now sits. That space has been converted into the Oilers’ “fan zone” during the NHL playoffs, carnivals and other events in recent years. Provincial officials said Thursday the $52-million event park would include an indoor and outdoor component east of the arena. It would be a public recreation and community gathering space."

Here’s just hoping that the $106 million number makes some people go “oh hey we can build apartments here” and get this ball rolling a bit more.

This is good, although as the article indicates in a round about way, the $106 million for here is not equal to the $330 million for the Calgary arena.Alberta Budget 2025: Province sets aside $106 million in Edmonton deal with city, OEG to demolish Coliseum, build event park and Downtown development

So perhaps there will still be something more in the future to be announced, maybe for some other similar facilities or projects in Edmonton.

$52 million should go a long way.
Servicing the lands north of Rogers is great, it should force parking demand in the interim into the actual downtown core, and to transit.

Sad to see it leaving the core of the core, but glad to see them sticking around.

Actually, we are doing fairly well comparatively and this corresponds to the steady increase in activity downtown I have noticed over at least the last year.
