It was on my top 3 of most hated things in Edmonton.

If I had a list of my top most hated thing in Edmonton, #1 to 175 would probably be parking lots.

As handy as it was at times for me, it really made no sense for there to be such a big surface parking lot here, next to the two large parkades.

As sites get developed, we have actually come a long way in getting rid of excess surface parking lots downtown, there were so many before.

Interestingly, if you look at old pictures of downtown Vancouver or Toronto from a few decades ago, you will also see more surface lots in or near to the downtown area also.

Next up, the giant sea of lots on 100ave between 102st & 103st please!

These ones have been on my personal hate list for a long time now. Anything towers built there will have a noticeable impact on our skyline.

After these lots are filled, I'd love to see the sea of lots between 107 & 106 street and 100th & Jasper Ave filled in

We need to add density around the Omega on those lots, the 102-103st/100ave site and some projects between 106st-107st south of jasper.

This is what gives me hope at times. I remember going to the newly opened Air Canada Centre in 1999 and the area between that and the Skydome was mostly empty.

A lot of land south of Jasper is only one or two blocks from the LRT.

Around the Omega would be good. As I recall, there were a couple smaller, old buildings torn down well over a decade ago and are still surface parking lots. I am surprised it has remained undeveloped for so long.

One ways are tricky to develop on and the land owners have a reputation for doing very little.
