Anyone have new pics from the community lately? Newer batch of homes in the northern tip of the project done almost? New ones started on the western edge I heard? Is all of pilot completed?

copy paste the whikwentowin one...wth is this...

We need to start clearing MUPs way faster to take advantage of warm spells. The 3-5 days leaves most of them packed down with multiple inches of thick, bumpy snow that quickly becomes ice as it warms. Then we spend the rest of the winter pushing/brushing snow off the ice and it’s never better...

It’s bad out there currently. So much soft snow on top of thick ice. We gotta find solutions.

I know, but I’m speaking to a new HLB and the idea of the festival line or something similar. To me, those are still completely different areas and what they’re serving is far apart. No one wants to get on a tram at gateway, go west to 109st, across the river, then back to Churchill/fairmont...

Both are quite good already and Rossdale transportation plan is improving. But yes, those are key. I primarily bike river valley road MUP to get here. But for any business to survive the winter, we have to be realistic that non active modes are critical connections.

Parking solution needs to be 1) gondola 2) improved transit 3) underground parkades from midrises, like what mercury block has provided 124st.

We basically have that in Churchill already.

This is Edmonton to a T. Opposite of Toronto where so much is over-hyped and marketed and then often average. silver skate could up its game a lot too.

I honestly think they’ve abandoned it recognizing they were just spinning their tires. For better and for worse, attention is being put into warehouse park area, jasper ave, valley line, Whikwentowin renewal. Blatchford. All better ROIs. But man, the quarters is still decades away because of...

Gondola, then all the usual, just executed well. No need to reinvent the wheel. We know what works elsewhere. Let’s just do it well. Medium density neighborhood with destination style retail/F&B. Tie in to riverfront.

No new suburbs could be a start. The up front costs of those are massive. ROI is much faster for infill and higher density. Pause the sprawl for 10 years. We don’t even have a transit station in the SW yet, let alone a higher frequency train/BRT.

Another reason why we should have the central city zone cleared by the city as a benefit to residents and business owners in our most productive land area of the city. The patchwork of private residents and businesses leaves too many potential weak links where the chain can break. If even just...

1 block from Sherwood/glenwood stop. 3 new 8plexes, 3 stories. Next to the already topped off 4 storey/40unit build just north.
