What else would be an option? It's too narrow for a functional traffic circle, the tunnel is too expensive and comes with technical and political implications...

A decently sized traffic circle could, but sadly it's not possible here. I honestly think that the only realistic solution here would be to somehow have a tunnel/overpass, but even that I don't really know how we'd be able to make work properly (not to mention the cost).

Okay, you have to roll with the bad calls, but there's the psychological effect of having any momentum you gain broken, repeatedly, by bad calls (honestly, sometimes they felt almost ill intentioned, but I'll no accuse anyone since I don't have proof). The finish was lacklustre, but the mains...

I would've done the same, but my budget was too tight for it. I've done this before in trips to Texas, for work, when the money wasn't coming from my own pocket.

Oh, probably 100% funded by this. It's over $500M in this term alone. Go back to the 1990s and you're gonna find BILLIONS in disparity

Actually, the next one is Quebec City with ~850k and Winnipeg is a close 80th with ~840k (December 2023 numbers, so they both are likely a little over that)

You'd actually be surprised. Also, who seems very uneducated about their way of life, their needs and desires is the premier and her government. They keep doing whatever the hell they feel like with no regard for the people who voted them in, jus assuming they'll keep voting blue because these...

Saying that people in South Edmonton should use a hospital in freaking Red Deer IS STUPID. Sorry, but no one in their right mind would disagree with this. Implying that because Red Deer is growing a lot they need a hospital, but ignoring that Edmonton CMA grew by the equivalent of 7 1/2 Red...

I believe that is the bigger issue. There have been recent examples of how having a political party behind candidates can skew municipal elections. This also tends to create problems such as partisan politics influencing thing at scales where it shouldn't. it can also strengthen the provincial...

Might be a combination of these. As far as I know, they're flush with cash, and they also might've been able to secure lower rates on any kind of debt financing. They're also renting a lot of their stuff above market averages, which in turn improves the economics, and since their product and...

I have one counter to this: maybe having ONE small commercial bay in a building such as this could be a good thing, so that maybe a mom-and-pop thing like Stop Gap cafe (not necessarily a coffee shop, but small scale, community gathering things) could be more common.

I don't know about the Falcon and Stationlands, but I have it on good authority that The Parks is going ahead regardless (when I can disclose my sources, I'll be glad to do so. Right now I am bound by an NDA). I believe the Falcon and The Parks fall under the tax freeze, but not Stationlands...

So, Oil & Gas and Industrial Services worker here... If you're concerned with people reducing the UCP supporters to uneducated hillbilies, you shouldn't be doing the same thing to everyone who supported Notley and NDP. I have an "I love Oil & Gas" sticker right next to my Notley sticker in my...

Welcome to the forum! That was a great introduction. I actually like Duggan quite a lot, and out of our residential neighborhoods it might be one of my favorites (I love the 1960-70s bungalows and the shallow basements we can find throughout the neighborhood) and I'll go to Duggan Park quite...

Yes! The company I now work for is one of the largest environmental and industrial services in Canada, publicly traded and with absolutely no demand for more parking than what an office tower DT would offer. Yet, we're in freaking Sherwood Park, in the middle of a suburban hellscape.

Or both, which is more likely

Mercury I must be having quite a success to motivate them, I guess.

I was just gonna say that. Manchester Square is somewhere one goes intentionally, and a car-first location. That area already sees substantial foot traffic, even in the winter. With the how much density the area has added in the past year or so (and will be adding in another few months)...

Also, saying that a building that's 14 years old is dated is pushing a little bit.

Sad, but true. I was one of these, unfortunately. When I went to San Diego, the only option I could afford to fly out of YEG included an 11hr layover in YYC, so I just drove down and flew straight from there. I don't know which one annoys me the most: having to fly from YYC or having to drive...
