Interesting that that used the Earls logo and trademark in the renderings from the Design Brief.

I don't imagine that means anything, but I am just used to everyone using generic logos.

Personally, I'd like to see the 'River City Chophouse' make its triumphant return along with its periwinkle round booths.

Well whoever it is, I agree with the original point, it would be a good location. I still miss the Franklins close to the Hotel Mac (I think that is the Marriott Courtyard now) - that was a great location.

Odd with our great river valley scenery and views we do not have more restaurants located to take more advantage of them.

I absolutely love the location and adjacencies of the restaurant space -- this could be one of the premiere spaces for an eatery/bar in all of Edmonton.

It is also a prime lot for a gorgeous tower too, but, from the little tidbits released, I'm feeling slightly nervous about this.

I will die on the hill that the fact we don’t have on singular cafe or restaurant on the water along the river bank is mental, but even worse is there are A LOT of folks who think it should be a crime to even suggest something like that. All I ask for is one. Keep the whole rest of the river valley naturalized and as is.

One of the Rossdale pumphouses should have been immediately started to be retrofitted to a food service space upon decommissioning. Would have instantly become one of Edmonton’s best tourist attractions, especially with it situated adjacent to the new Walterdale, but alas, there is no vision or risk taking allowed for this City Council/admin nor the previous.

Cool to see this move forward. Is this Maclab?

I guess the reasonable thing now would be to guess how tall this new development would be! I'm going to put forward a height of 130 metres based on my zero years of experience with construction and architecture.

I’m going to put forward a height of 180 meters based on my zero years of experience, yadda yadda….

We are a very tourist unfriendly city at times. The approach we often take seems Soviet and then we wonder why we get poor reviews from people visiting. For City Council and Edmonton in general, tourism is generally an after thought.

I'll take that one step further by saying business / commerce in general is an afterthought in this city and Edmonton is a very unfriendly business city. You want tourists to come to the city or specifically in the context of the conversation for the water front? Then you need things to attract them such as breweries, cafes, local restaurants, maybe a museum or arts facilities. To do that, you need to remove or reduce barriers or work with partners to attract those types of business. This city has demonstrated for quite some time and most recently with the gondola that there is no appetite for reducing barriers or working with partners to find solutions forward.

Why are there two discussion threads for this proposed development? Can we get the mods or admins to merge them somehow?

Thanks. Combined the two.
