Not 100% sure tbh but it seems like they could be. They were just posted last month so perhaps there is some movement? I wouldn’t be surprised if the redevelopment was finally going to start now that the valley line is open.

I think you’re right. The “Block E” is a new reference for sure.

On one hand, it’s good if they are still planning things out in Morguards behalf, but on the other, they haven’t submitted anything to the city that anyone has posted nor began subdivision. @Avenuer anything on your end you’ve seen or heard?

True but it is encouraging that PCL has taken over the old dry cleaners unit beside the liquor store as their on-site office.

I wish the first thing they would do is take a bulldozer through the middle of the mall to open up 84 Ave. Selfish reasons, but would make walking to the lrt much easier after hours.

So you want demolish the food court at Bonnie Doon? It's their busiest area.

It’s in their redevelopment plan, so assuming it goes ahead, it’s going to happen at some point. And yes, I want them to do that. Tenants can be relocated.

That is also number one on my wish list too @westcoastjos.

Bad photo and nothing really of interest, but signs of PCL presence at Bonnie Doon.

Does anyone have a link to the redevelopment plan?

Huh, even these guys hint at the possibility of a Whyte Ave LRT being an extension of the high-floor system

Who are "these guys"? the Mafia? the City? The province?

This statement sounds like some carbrained raving -- I want that sheltered public space GONE and asphalted so MUH ROAD gets extended through and I don't have to turn like some SECOND-CLASS citizen...

They should start with the carparks, especially the ones next to the LRT. Another option is the north end -- a proper road connecting 88 Ave and the exit to the Rec Centre would do wonders, so many people simply cut through the parking lot even with the new curbs Morguard put in.

In the legend (which was cropped out) it says the dotted blue lines are 'future LRT'... So it could be either.

The Mafia (jk, Morguard Investments, the map was in their rezoning application)
