But repurpose it into what?

The power plant looks a little like the Titanic with its monolith body and smoke stacks but its historic designation means that it will likely be around for years to come. Whether its developed into something usable is difficult to say. The historic designation, I believe, makes it eligible...

May 2001: EPCOR workers discovered human remains, Tuesday, at the site of the Rossdale power plant in Edmonton's river valley. "We found two pieces of a skull from a child about five years old," says Nancy Saxberg, the archeologist supervising excavation work being done at the site. "We...

The old court house and the old public library were architectural losses for the city but the power plant isn't architecturally significant and its location doesn't contribute to the vibrancy of a neighborhood. Could be wrong but doesn't it trespass on the traditional burial grounds of...

Some of the eastern stretches of the Whitemud were landscaped back in the 90's. It's almost scenic driving through there today and bonus is that the vegetation muffles a lot of road noise.

Defend Pagaro all you want but regardless of whose fault it is, the fact is that the landscaping on that project is sub-standard.

If the piles aren't placed then the setback can be modified but how in the hell does a developer default during the excavation stage of a project?

The revenue per door generated by the building would have improved if its footprint was moved off of the property line to allow for upgraded landscaping. It's an old way of thinking to build right up to the property line particularly in a residential setting. Even commercial projects are...

Perhaps the rubber could be painted green to give it the look of grass or if the rubber is fastened to the ground, some local artists could do up a mosaic. Regardless though, the eyesore is gone.

Pagaro Investments isn't obligated to do more than the minimum. It should fit right in with those that can't do more.

In other words, the developer was unable to landscape its own property to the same or higher standard than that of most other community residents because of the city.

If it already hasn't done so, the City should work to get some assurances from the Federal Government that the office won't be moving out of town in the future as a result of the takeover.

A utility corridor could explain why the south side of the development isn't landscaped but if the pictures presented are still an accurate representation of the project, it appears that the west of the building is landscaped with only a sidewalk too. Strange that the utility corridor was not...

Looks good. Cleaned up nicely. Power plant is next.

There is probably the exception but generally speaking, the Windsor Park residents take pride in their community and do more than a sidewalk to landscape their property. I believe that it's why developers are attracted to some of the mature established inner city communities and will market...

The minimum landscaping requirement for the Windsor Park project was a sidewalk and the developer has complied with that standard as we can see. Fortunately there are some developers and people who can and will do more than a sidewalk.

I understand that some of you have jobs in the field and are doing God's work and are sensitive to criticism. If advocating for an urban canopy is "concern trolling" than it's what I'm doing and I'm glad that you're completely open to planting some trees along that road. Good projects include...

Sorry but I thought that taxpayers were allowed to voice an opinion even when they may not be popular with everybody. Your post suggests that you have a dog in the fight because I don't recall you calling anybody out for complaining about any of Regency's vacant properties.
