Lots of options to avoid LRT construction, namely keep the 104 st/102 ave intersection open like 101 Street was.

Pretty sure there were contingency plans to do just that.

I don't disagree but getting too close to the faster, heavier and louder traffic on 105 Street would be a negative in my books.

Another lesson in "do it right or don't do it at all"...

I feel the timing of the move and the pandemic occurring was probably the biggest problem. At another time this probably would have worked much better.

There will be an expression of interest form for market vendors in the next two weeks for a full season outdoor summer market on 104 Street this year.

I realize that @Greenspace is only allowed to post in the Downtown thread 
but I'm wondering how the Downtown Farmers Market fared upon its return to 104 St today?

A little underwhelming compared to previous iterations, or even a mid-winter at the location at the GWG building. The 124 Street Grand Market might well be bigger at this point. But at least my fish people, coffee people, and a couple of my favourite fruit and veggie sellers were there.I realize that @Greenspace is only allowed to post in the Downtown thread
And the turnout was good, and it seemed to be pulling a good amount of traffic for the local restaurants... Except for the folks at Slap Shot.

I look forward to visiting later this summer - that is, if the weather co-operates.

Disappointed it was half the size of previous iterations but good crowd.
