'too many people in one venue/block'

Yet my hometown of Stony Plain, and the limited resources that their RCMP detachment has, can handle Farmers Days.

What a bunch of killjoys.

Basically.

That said, at the time Oil City had a poor track record at other venues...

 

[Avenuer]

This project is still going through the rezoning process - there was some contamination concerns that I believe have been addressed which has added time to the process.

Would you clarify it as 'active'?

Last I checked they were slowing this guy down.

Active to the extent that the rezoning is no long 'on hold' and they may get to Council yet this year if they can make it in before the election period.

Another words... preliminary issues.

Consultation open https://engaged.edmonton.ca/tower106

To be honest (maybe this is just NIMBYism), I'm a bit annoyed at how our core is shaping out to be with more and more super tall skinny buildings. Someone made a point that it's naturally emerged from how North American cities sell and handle lots, but I would much prefer to see row housing like in the big European cities.

On one side I agree completely, but on the other hand a few more towers in the downtown core would be nice to see. There are some areas surrounding the core that might do well with row housing.

The City has received an application for a proposed rezoning at 10123 & 10145 - 106 Street NW.

The proposed rezoning from the Urban Warehouse Zone (UW) to a Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) would allow for the development of a residential tower with the following key characteristics:

A maximum height of 155 metres (approximately 45 storeys);
A maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 13.5;
Up to 550 residential dwellings; and
500 square metres of commercial space at ground level.

It was put on hold last summer so glad that the rezoning is active again and progressing.

I think the density between 109th and 96th Street should be very high. That seems like a win and necessary for our city goals. Also, 109 to 124 I think should maintain decent heights, sort of like Davies and the west part of DT Van where its more mixed.

Don't want to see row housing in prime lots like these as much as around suburban transit stations where density is more sensitive.

 

[IanO]

I really would love to see this, Shift, Parks, Clancey and a reborn Healy site.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

I don't want to sound like the pessimist here but I will start getting excited once I see foundations being poured.

 

[IanO]

Isn't that inherently the optimist then?
