I've often thought about the downhill go-karts. I've been to Skyline Luge in Calgary and both locations in New Zealand. The two best ones are in Rotorua NZ and Calgary which have ~100m elevation drop. The one in Rotorua is especially good because it winds through an old growth forest. The...

And to be clear, I am in favour of this proposal. I agree that traffic has become accustomed to the closure of 102 Ave and appears to be operating just fine. I support the idea of prioritizing pedestrians in the core of our city. I just feel that the south half of the streetscape would have...
