To play devil's advocate, they used to say he was a 7th defenseman. Before that, an AHL defenseman, before that ECHL, before that BCHL, etc. His improvement has been impressive from when he was first called up to the oilers. That said, I agree, we cannot overpay on the extension.

105th ave is the worst when considering it came after the fiasco that was Victoria promenade.

See the downtown arena CRL. Subsidized up front and paid for with future taxes. Billions of investment dollars followed in or near the arena district. Downtown would be downright pathetic without this public subsidy. What value add is there for sprawling development? What new investment does...

Plaza 124 kitty corner to the Maclaren has sold. I guess that means residential conversion plans were abandoned by previous owner (Casia?). Maybe that frees them up to pursue their towers further up 124 street. That said, the amount of commercial property transactions lately has been...

^Averton rezone for 20 storey tower. Approved by council Feb 20.

Don't forget about Cranky's

Wonder if they will sell the site in Oliver (121 st) as well.

Edmonton finally getting its flowers. Really well done video. I like the point about housing market elasticity, even if ours is partly driven by sprawl and the ability to more easily ramp or ramp down supply of single family homes in subdivisions. Higher density is more difficult to moderate...

What about Fringe? I went to Vancouver's fringe fest and it was dead as. From what I can see online, ours is mentioned alongside Edinburgh and Adelaide

Im a bit younger and a bit newer to the folk fest scene, but have compared the acts to other folk festivals around the country. While some years are better than others, I think credit has to be given for the long-standing community aspect and the ability to attract "big" artists while also...

Definitely would have been a warmer and richer feel. This building at Coronation will stand out nicely against the white backdrop of winter.

Per their Instagram, the first shipping containers have arrived!

Alpolic ACM would look sharp. Not sure if feasible cost wise though.

Sterile and overplanned forsure. I will agree it is impressive but that glow wears off pretty quickly. UBC does not feel integrated with the surrounding communities and City of Vancouver as a whole - partly due to historical development of vancouver's west side, UBC's relative geographic...

I went on Saturday, after being away for the past 4 months. Foot traffic was not amazing, but steady. All the shops we went into were busy tho, and farmers market looked like it sold out a lot of items. Did not notice much riff raff - seemed to be less than this past summer. There was a Jesus...

The podium interface with the park looks promising. Fingers crossed.

Having toured the top of Stantec, I'm not sure it's the most appealing for a venue. Makes everything seem small and flat. Top of the stantec office portion might be good tho - still high enough, but low enough to be able to admire other towers and see the details of the river valley.

Maintenance does not reverse the course when it comes to design flaws of previous streetscape development iterations. Streetscaping renewals are still required to update connective infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of multimodal transportation. Maintenance can only take you so far - not...

This has been my biggest gripe for quite some time. We don't have the foot traffic demand or tax base to be spreading ourselves thin when it comes to streetscape improvements. These pet projects to jump start street activity in less popular areas have failed. Build on the areas with the most...

Anybody go to the soft opening this weekend? Also, any sign of the shipping containers?
