That's a good point and illustrates a decades old mentality of this city. Our city council should have higher standards and we ,as residents ,should want and demand more. A core that is entertaining, vibrant and engaging. A perfect example is the High Level Bridge Park that was proposed. A...

Hope they'll proceed soon but with a new design. A cheap looking design could throw off the whole look of the ICE district. They did alright with the others (although Stantec could of been way better). Keep it in the same standard as JW or don't bother until you have the capital to do it right.

Having an expansion of the High Level streetcar line from Grandin to the core would be a dream. I volunteered for ERRS a few years back. I know they're are working on a short expansion from their Strathcona barn across and up to Whyte and there's also a redo of the Fort Ed line. Expansion to...

OK. I'll take your word for it ..lol.. @CaptainBL I'm a proud Edmontonian too that moved back after nearly 30 years. If it weren't for the developments of the past five years, the core would look nearly the same as it did back in 1993. Not Good Enough !!!! So let's all appreciate the BG podium...

Definitely agree with you on the potential part. The first sign that the whole ICE District would not live up to the promise is the deviation from the original renders of Stantec. While the building looks "alright" , it is far off from the original design. Compared to the original, the current...

LOL.. That tall ghost tower reminds me of the Triple 5 tower we were supposed to have. The bait and switch. Oh boy.. what an imagination.... :)

Here are several links to what the Skyscraper Museum website offers. Since they are located in New York, that's their primary focus. However, they deal with global structures as well. The site is top notch. I'd recommend viewing SuperTall 2020 first since that one is only temporarily available...

I don't mind the building design or height but just not there and definitely not in the core. This location is very important with the Mac being there. Why is Edmonton a "free for all" in regards to design? The EDC has no authority but can make recommendations. What is this !? Developers can...

I think it would look good painted black or black siding. I think that's the cheapest route to take. It'll make the building look smaller and make the window dseign pop out. Millwoods library is black and it looks pretty good. Curve some of those sharp edges too.

^^^^^ I see a little plant action going on there. o_O:eek:..The FOX tower taking a peek feeling good about itself. 😂 .Agree on the reskin and I think it'll happen sooner than later.

^ @JNO1 Thanks.. Never knew about a few of these arena proposals. Think of the excitement of all the ICE District tower BG renders we can add here. ;)

So the white spot stays? Put a Pepsi logo over it or something.. ?

@Kaizen ^^ Did someone catch you with a pocketful of rocks or something ? I won't tell.. :)

Ridiculous...sorry.. Sale of Stantec money gone already? As I said before, they should sell it to someone else and let them finish it off. As most, I've followed this since the Greyhound demo and have heard it all. Thanks for the info though.

They've been making excuses on this development for nearly two years. I do understand the supply issues in this instance though. The previous delays especially on the tower portion I just don't get. I wish they'd sell the land to Westrich and let them finish the project.

40.00001m ;)

@_Citizen_Dane_ thanks. I've skimmed through that before. I'll take a closer look at it. I was pretty disgusted about what I read. Bait and switch is a nice way of putting it.

@Kaizen greener angel?:eek:..Whoa

TOURISM We can be a tourist destination if certain things are done right and some will take years to complete. 1) Klondike Days could be a 2 week long festival full of costumes, parades, parties, booze and naughtiness down old Strathcona just like in New Orleans but with a gold rush theme. Make...

@JNO1 Fantastic posts. Shame it never happened. I read a story about it. City council kept giving concessions and the developer kept cutting back on the project. Not sure of the accuracy of the whole story. Would of loved #2 or #4 though..
