    Edmonton City Centre Mall (Renovations) | ?m | 2s | LaSalle Investment Management

    In my opinion, Kingsway. Kingsway is too close to downtown, has way more options, and free parking. TD Square gets the office and local crowds, also the botanical gardens brings people in, weekends included. Calgary also doesn't have a quality mall near their downtown (sorry north hill)...

    Prairie Sky Gondola | 76.2m | ?s | Prairie Sky | DIALOG

    I love this idea actually. I always scratched my head on how the city would build a mass transit crossing from WEM to University and it not being controversial. A gondola with a route like this is the least invasive and the most scenic. Bring back the Festival line name too, it's fitting. Bet it...

    Commuter & Regional Rail

    I wonder how affordable it would be to extend the line from Ellerslie to Beaumont also. There is prime right of way along 50th, and lots of space for construction. Could build a decent size park and ride at the north end of town for commuters.

    Municipal Politics

    Hamilton announced she is not seeking re-election. She hinted running provincially isn't off the table. Glad to see her on the way out.

    Commuter & Regional Rail

    It would be easier to just extend the Valley line south to Beaumont. South extension is planned in that direction anyway.

    Municipal Politics

    Sarah Hamilton is making an announcement tomorrow. I imagine it will be her. She's announcing her intentions for the municipal election.

    Riverbank Landing | 50m | 15s | Boudreau Communities | Arc Studio

    Here's another, the podium is looking great too.

    Municipal Politics

    I could see her running for Edmonton South West. I'd be happy to vote against her once again. Hamilton is an absent councillor and engages in the bare minimum with her constituents. Giselle General is running again and I appreciated her last campaign. It's gonna be interesting with municipal...

    Hat @ Old Strathcona | 66.14m | 20s | Cidex Group

    I'm pretty sure this building is considered 'Block 1B' of the project. I'm not sure the full scale of the build. But maybe we'll see a tower after this phase. 1B is being built behind a playground and not street facing. I'm interested to see what they're going to do next 👀

    Touch the Water Promenade / River Valley "Seawall"

    Pretty sure what's holding this project and area back is the Gondola outcome. That set Rossdale, this project and the entire River Crossing plans back years. Last update mentions Spring 2024. I hope more information comes out soon or in 2025.

    Whyte Avenue Bus Lanes

    That's disappointing. I expect curb bus lanes to be completely disrespected in winter time.

    Ville Giroux I believe will be 16 and 20 stories off of Ray Gibbon. Last time I checked this was fenced off with equipment on site.

    Misc. Transportation Projects

    Looks like Highway 16A is getting some signal lights and new intersections. This will be interesting. https://yourparkland.ca/acheson

    Miscellaneous

    Agreed, but those ones are outside the Currents. I believe this spot is near the Safeway in the parking lot. Love to see less separation between shops and people. Helps vibrancy and people won't have to cross a stroad.
