That was an incredible show. Looked to be close to a sell-out too.

https://www.sprucegrove.org/community/heavy-metal-place/ https://www.sprucegrove.org/media/7743/3.jpg The new civic centre in Spruce Grove (now Heavy Metal Place) is well under construction. The facility will feature two ice surfaces, one with a 1400 spectator capacity and one with a 250 seat...

Coming along slowly.

I acknowledge most of the downtown entrances were built in the 70s, but I wish they were more like the Canada Line entrances in Vancouver. Most of ours are super narrow and not inviting in the slightest. I think this is a great example of how CPTED has changed design too...

I'll be a bit contrarian here. I know that ideally these higher density developments should be connected to transit but at the same time we always bemoan how these new communities are typically low density sprawl. I too would love more towers in central areas but I think they serve different...

If the development goes ahead I wonder if (and this might be heresy given its history) Diamond Park turns into a more formal park instead or the sport use changes to another (soccer, some basketball courts, etc). I suppose you could also just change the orientation of the diamond since there's...

I wonder if there would be value in having a couple smaller police stations scattered around the core. Like just a very small store front or something to show their presence. Maybe the beat officers could be based out of there.

Holy. This is definitely flying under the radar.

1) The initial phase of Strathearn Heights finally breaks ground. 2) Further details regarding Ice District Phase 2 are announced. 3) A new central river valley bridge is announced. 4) Someone will take a chance on a mid rise building in the Quarters but ground won't be broken yet. 5) Details...

Man what a win it would be to get something built on the parking lot east of Edmonton Tower. Would really help to further urbanize that intersection.

This site is an absolute blight on downtown. The screening on the fence is becoming non-existent again. Such a prime piece of property and nothing is being done with it. Such a shame.

I think retaining the arches is unnecessary, especially in these tight economic times. If they can retain elements of the design on the top, such as the railings, then it will appear to be a similar bridge to the majority of bridge users. A standard girder bridge will also have less impact on...

What kind of business scheme? A scheme to operate a flight to make profit?

A bit of a hot take but I think St. Albert (at least initially) would be better served by a heavy rail connection. With the UCP coming up with a commuter rail plan I think that would be something to consider as a possibility.

I've thought about it a lot too but I see 113 Street as really being the ideal route. It sort of splits the difference with the Capital Line well. If you go 127 Street then you've only really got one residential neighbourhood to the west the length of the line. You also miss out on tying into...

I know there's few details out yet, but how much space would a move from UofA to the new building free up for the non-childrens hospital? How many beds does the Stollery have right now?

The one in Strathcona County already announced or one in Edmonton?

She is easily the most ineffective councillor in a while. Her questions today almost felt like a weird filibuster, if anything, and it is clear she is extremely unprepared and didn't put the work in advance to understand the implications of her own motions. I think she is trying to put on a...
