You've never seen the prairie octopus aka bibliovulgaris?

How about the GIANT octopus that was originally envisioned that was to have been in the SEC of this plaza with tentacles coming out of the ground in the landscaped section/east garden of Churchill and possibly further north.

+1. The giant octopus was my favorite of the early drafts but I'm still fairly content with this.

Ah yes. The mighty octopus. Native to Edmonton.

I like it! Yes, perhaps a bit whimsical, but sometimes I think we are far too serious for our own good. Do we want to become a city that fun forgot?

Many parts of the downtown core come across as too cold and austere and we need to lighten them up a bit.

^ Can we maybe stop posting links to Twitter? many of us don't use that horrible app and thus can't read what those tweets say

If anyone is interested in dipping their toes into the Fediverse / Mastodon as an alternative to billionaire-owned social media sites, drop me a DM, happy to provide some guidance.

Hope this space is programmed and not left to be occupied by gangster-types.

Please tell me that this work will be completed such that it is open for next summer?

Nice forms and well executed. The planted soil berms should take the landscape interesting. I hope the library programs the space for lots of active uses -- a great space for street entertainers to set up shop..

I wonder what's happening with that parking garage entrance in the SW corner?
