    The Mercury Block II | Hodgson Schilf Evans

    I think this is the fastest I've ever seen a project move from announcement to substantial excavation.

    LDA23-0233 Windsor Park Rezoning - 116st - 88ave - 23m - Proposed

    They do have rights. No one is forced to sell their home, and they can choose to stay or leave as development occurs around them.

    LDA23-0233 Windsor Park Rezoning - 116st - 88ave - 23m - Proposed

    Residents 2 blocks away from one of the biggest universities in the Country surprised to learn that there is demand for housing in their neighbourhood.

    Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I don't have an issue with townhomes and I think they're a good form of more dense family oriented housing. My issue is when all you have is townhomes and not enough amenities/commercial/higher density forms of housing to support it. We are starting to see this a lot in Vancouver suburbs like...

    Century Gardens at Century Park | ?m | 7s | ProCura Real Estate | Gardner Architecture

    From their marketing gallery. Can't help but notice how much of a waste of space this seems for like 17 parking stalls, seems super inefficient. Would have been much better to use this as an outdoor amenity space for residents...

    Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    Kind of of defeats the purpose of a dense, walkable, mixed use neighbourhood if it meets none of those things, does it not? In today's retail landscape, mid density townhomes alone won't be enough to sustain walkable amenities in the area. A couple apartments along one street likely won't add...

    Really hope blatchford doesn't just become a sea of townhomes.

    South Edmonton Hospital & Health Campus | ?m | ?s | Province of Alberta

    First of all, cities are inherently political, and if its felt that provincial matters are impacting cities, they should be able to speak about it. Second, the premiere is the one continually bringing politics to the cities, who are reacting to that. She expects to be able to encroach on areas...

    South Edmonton Hospital & Health Campus | ?m | ?s | Province of Alberta

    Nah by the time things are bad enough for them to finally start it (or someone at least semi competent manages to become in charge), the study will be so out of date a new study will need to be conducted lol

    Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    This really highlights how non existent TOD has been here.

    The Mercury Block | 21.7m | 6s

    I'm not typically a fan of chains in general, but I wouldn't mind a few urban style chains showing up in Oliver/124 for two reasons: 1) They're an indicator species. Them showing up is a sign that the population has increased to the point that they believe there is enough foot traffic to...

    New Zoning Bylaw

    Not sure what you mean by this. There's been more action on housing municipally, provincially (at least in some provinces...) and federally in the last year or two than like the 2 decades before. Everyone sat on their hands until the problem couldn't be ignored any longer, and now things are...

    Obviously this will be different for everyone, and is likely lower in Alberta due to gas prices, but the cost is still quite high: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/it-costs-more-than-1-300-per-month-to-own-a-car-in-canada-report-1.2029102

    Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    This might be too political for this thread, but the party isn't exactly known for their consistency or understanding the causality of their actions/decisions. Claiming to want 10 million, and running an ad campaign "Alberta is calling", and then blaming the federal government for when people...

    Stadium Yards | ?m | 6s | Rohit Communities

    Fast food is expensive, so don't bother building walkable commercial? Seems slightly short sighted, especially since there are plenty of businesses out there other than fast food/restaurants...

    Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I was on the Blatchford website and noticed they've posted some aerials from the summer. It does look the community is really starting to fill out: https://blatchfordedmonton.ca/community/mid-summer-update/

    Stantec Tower | 250.84m | 66s | ICE District Prop.

    Walking down jasper ave. takes twice as long as it needs to because of the lights. I swear I get stopped at every intersection.

    To be fair, tumors grow on you too, but that doesn't make them a good thing.

    Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I thought I would tack on another perspective to the safety debate. For background, I currently live in Vancouver and take transit regularly. I hardly ever feel unsafe. So when I came back for the holidays, I was surprised when I came back for the holidays and took the capital line how...

    Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    I mean if you go on google earth to their most recent imagery you can count and see that there is at least 55 lots (not including secondary suites) complete or nearly complete as of 05/23, and many more under construction as of this date. Why would they lie about these numbers that you can fact...
