Seems to be what is happening :)

New pocket park = big improvement

If only cutting entire programs could be boiled down to "common sense". These policy decisions are extremely multi-faceted, regardless of what your opinions are.

I'm happy you noted this. I've thought for quite some time that Shoppers and Dollarama are the key reasons behind convenience stores shutting their doors.

What does this practically mean for the lot? A park?

True. But the city also removed a lot of parking for the Valley Line and for cycling infrastructure. I don't think we can say what the final product will look like.

I think that was the point being made. Much like Return to Office mandates, I refuse to advocate against people's quality of life in favor of the street vibrancy that comes from high rents and downtown cubicle farms.

There will need to be incredible infrastructure on 101 Street and Whyte Ave or yes, this will happen.

They have a beautiful space. It should be packed if they market and price correctly.

Remind me what the retail component of this will be?

Even if Hinton and Nordegg could offer half of what Canmore does (which they can) - it would be fantastic for the people who live here.

If anyone has visited the food courts at the Well in Toronto or the Forks in Winnipeg, I can see that working extremely well here. They only lease to top-tier grab and go places - think Farrow, Culina, Made by Marcus etc.
