This is so annoying, a high profile site with a great location in a nice area of the city and this is what is proposed. I guess someone forgot about no more crap.

Yes, the all white walls are a bit too sterile for me although the black and white on the stairs is a great contrast, the flooring and furniture in this case also. The wallpaper in the earlier one was a bit too much for me, but otherwise the colour was fine. However, I realize we live in an...

It probably seemed crazy too those people who thought bringing in more international students was the solution to several problems with no downsides, but people can and did arrive faster than accommodation was built. Unfortunately those making public policy did not understand economics or...

I like what Procura proposed here, so I hope it does ahead whether it is by them or someone else, but it would be great if they see it through.

Our governments were eager to hand off partial funding our universities and colleges basically to foreign students, who could be charged more to and make up for the shortfall. Well I suppose it seemed like a good idea at the time to all of them, until the unintended consequences happened. Of...

Good question. It specifically says Edmonton twice in the article, so hopefully ...

Yes, it is good to see what was an area of small, old commercial and warehouse buildings become a decent more dense residential area.

It says major development permit, whatever that means, but I would think more than just painting the walls.

Potential buyers would not be getting the nice tennis court green bare lot as shown in the picture, but I suspect most of them already realize that.

Yes, you are right, there are some and that is a good question. IMO the extent of community involvement for a lot of our corporate sector seems to be going to Chamber of Commerce events and complaining about the city. Perhaps that is too harsh, but it might be fair to say they doesn't seem to...

I do feel if we can get past that pre-pandemic hurdle, then some airlines may start looking more seriously at also expanding international service here.

Short of moving a dozen or so sizeable head offices to Edmonton, we are not going to ever have that corporate presence and involvement. Unfortunately, our city is chock full of branch plant offices for eastern companies some that could barely find Edmonton on a map and many smaller local...

It is good that the city is spending the money needed to maintain the power plant building, but until some development moves ahead it will continue to be a sink for more and more city money to do so. So the foot dragging on this needs to stop, not only for the benefit of the nearby community...

I grew up on raw milk for over a decade, as did most other people in the rural area I lived and we all survived without serious illness, hospitalization or death. So I don't think occasionally providing some extra milk to family friends or neighbours would be a catastrophe and it certainly...

No, 109 Street a section south of Whyte Ave. Sometime around the mid 1980's or so I recall.

Yes, I have heard the ambivalent feedback from some Calgarians too, so it is also not all it is hyped up to be. However, it does seem to succeed in drawing in many tourists and visitors so we could learn something from that.

Does no one in this city know how to plant a few nice flowers any more!? Its really not that darn difficult, people here did it downtown decades ago. It makes a real difference.

In fairness, it is probably way easier to get a lot of people to go outside on a nice day in July instead of a cool windy day in November. Because of the time of the year this is more of an indoor event and so anything will not have as much visibility as an outdoor event is. Of course that is...

What about preservation of the existing building? Have they considered maybe that is important to the community too?

I would chalk that up mainly due to lack of her experience. Anyone who actually spent some time on council should have known that wasn't realistic. This is why I feel being mayor shouldn't be an entry level position. Cartmell on the other hand really should have known better. He had other...
