ICE District Block IJ | ?m | ?s | ICE District Prop. | Next Architecture

[IanO]

There was always an idea to use this for either a secondary playoff fan celebration site (once the main was full), a family friendly space or a staging area of sorts.

Curious to see how it has evolved.

Looking forward to seeing what goes here.

Sure would like to see 101 street reimagined for active transportation options.

I saw a sneak peak of what's being proposed and hopefully it will help activate that block. I can also see it complimenting other activations in the area like The Backyard. Walk from Churchill festival to Backyard to Fan Park to Ice District Plaza.

Well what did your sneak peak reveal?

This will be a oilers fan zone/semi public square for entertainment and tailgating. There will be food and drink options as well as public washrooms.

Is this confirmed? It just seems a little strange given there is already the ice district plaza and that they would be converting this massive space to potentially use once a year if the Oilers make the playoffs.

CONFIRMED (it's a temporary use until the site is developed).

Lets hope the Oilers make the playoffs.

As of 9:15 this Sunday morning (Oct 30th) they have fully layed a base on the lot and it appears to be a paving machine parked in the middle waiting to go to work.

Another parking lot....

 

[MacLac]

How much would a pave job like that cost? Katz make up for it in 1 night of beer sales at the lot when in use?

 

[strata]

Call it like $60/m2, let's say like $350,000

 

[JuliallThat]

That's a big asphalt
