Walked by this (didn't enter lol) and man 103 Ave needs a road diet, badly.

We also need to activate at least the first floor of the CCM parkade with something... Rec Room, McDonald's, megalounge, just... something other than that brutal bunker of lifelessness.

I don't know that there's enough business to activate everywhere that could use it. Maybe we should focus on creating one really good stretch that can become it's own attraction rather than trying to do everything at once and doing it poorly.
 
I would focus first on filling the empty space on the first and second level and worry about the parkade after that. Rec Room could be a nice addition on the main level of the west side of the mall.
 
Unfortunately the best way to get that mall better activated would be to have a corner entrance to the mall at the intersection where city market is. That would change pedestrian traffic patterns. Then a Rec Room at ground level with an entrance where the Bay had its door on 103 st would then fill that area and hopefully activate that road better, maybe turn that block of 103st into a pedestrian lane an in essence an extension to the ice district plaza
 
Good idea, there does need to be something to draw people in more directly from Stantec to City Centre. A problem in the north west corner is the parkade entrance which would make a connection to the rest of the malll difficult is on the main level.

I think a pedway is needed somewhere on the second level to bring people directly from Stantec to the west side of City Centre, or maybe it could be a street front retail entrance say with an escalator up to a second level connection to the mall.

I don't think the new Owners of Stantec Tower or the CC Mall will have any interest in paying for a pedway until Stantec Tower is fully leased and the mall is revamped with sufficient retail and restaurants. Maybe the City can do it using CRL funding (not going to happen).

I don't know the owners of either and can't speak for them, but maybe you can.

I just think it would be beneficial for both, although more so for City Centre and in general, as it would provide a more direct connection between the buildings as the current one that requires going through three other buildings.

However, I also doubt the city would fund it, unless some commitment was made in either the construction or acquisition of the buildings. If there was, we would probably already be well aware of it.

Oddly, it is not very busy except at rush hour. The two large parkades on the southside of it (and Stantec's too to the north) also probably mean it will not likely ever be a very pedestrian friendly area.

As someone who lives on 103rd leave it alone, its access for a lot of parkades including mine and see's a lot more traffic than those that stop by occasionally think. And will become even more vital once the LRT continues westward on 102nd.

Are Morrison Herschfield vacating their offices in Toronto? -- I hadn't heard anything to that effect. Stantec has offices all over the world -- I drove by one in Bakersfield, California the other day. I am not sure they plan on beefing up the Edmonton office to accommodate this buy-out.

The Edmonton Office will move so I suspect all the other offices will migrate to the local Stantec Office if there is room.
