Wouldn't it be super convenient being able to walk to any of the mall's stores and services without even putting on a jacket? Why aren't apartments above malls more common?

Anyone know which seating layout they ordered them with?

You might be right, it seems like too many stalls to just be guest parking for the residents.

Would it be unreasonable to call 911 while witnessing something like this?

That location has felt like it's "about to go under" for the past 10 years I feel like, and yet it keeps on truckin' somehow.

You joke, but I bet a lot of proposals failed due to a lack of parking in the area :confused:

By some quick math, Westrich will be removing 5,375m2 of parking between their Lilac Park and 106 street projects, and will only be adding 3,840m2 between their 104st lot and this site. So that puts them at a net negative of about 1,500m2 at least? Not sure about downtown overall though.

With the city collecting applications for Rossdale power plant, could we see a renewed proposal for this?

Maybe not, Dubas & Didama haven't posted here yet.

I don't know if I have much faith in EDC based off their comments on the Westrich parking lot at the BMO site..

The road on the left is Connors Rd, the valley line tracks are beside it.

That's because the site looks like trash and there's zero reason for normal people to go there currently, so it's a free space for people to do drugs and not be bothered. If the site is cleaned up and given a new use that actually draws foot traffic, the drug users will find somewhere else to...

Also, rice howard parkade is 75M from this site and has 440 parking stalls. Library parkade is 165M away and has 860 stalls. We don't need another 70 stalls here.

@IanO please at least place some of these on the site: They are already operating here, there are some at Telus world of science. I think this would do well in this spot, there is definitely a need for secure bike parking downtown.

Somewhere near here, probably was a drone shot since there's no tall buildings nearby afaik https://maps.app.goo.gl/gDHEiNZ6GEmqLGHYA
