Do they still own that sliver?

 

[Munanyo]

If rumours are true about two towers being proposed here, that would be a huge vote of confidence for downtown.

Do they still own that sliver?

Yes.

If this discussion is referring to that empty lot between the two buildings on 104 St, it would be really good if this spot was filled too.

 

[IanO]

Originally it was to have an 'alleyway' between the plaza and 104st with a tower slightly south between it and storage.

I'd rather pay $5 at Commerce Place and walk a few blocks. Is there a better deal for heated underground event parking downtown??

 

[IanO]

What was the experience like getting in and getting out?

Honestly, not bad. Less than 10 minutes from getting into the car to out of parkade; their team is pretty slick and efficient. The bigger issue is 103Ave.

 

[David A]

One thing that works out well is there is a lot of parkade space nearby and much of it is for people working in the office towers during the daytime of week days.

A lot of events at Rogers are either in the evenings or on weekends, so some of these spaces are available then.

Tbh the best place to park for events at Rogers is Milner (if you must drive). The LRT is much better though, you don't have to pay for parking or deal with the shmozz of getting out of downtown after an event. MacEwen Station becomes a nightmare (or so I've heard) but I've been walking to 102nd st stop after games and it's really not bad at all. Drive to your nearest park and ride (mine is Davies) and take the train.

Edmontonians tolerance for traffic congestion is very very low.

 

[Kosy123]

Gotta use that low congestion tolerance to make the LRT an attractive alternative!

Having experienced Bangkok traffic I will never again complain about Edmonton

Or more local examples in Toronto or Vancouver lol. We have nothing to complain about here

Same thing, but having experienced (including recently on a holiday trip back home) Rio and Sao Paulo, instead of Bangkok

Toronto and Vancouver are traffic PARADISE compared to cities like Rio, Bangkok, Mexico City, Delhi, Mumbai, Abuja...
