I just think it's the kind of city you get when your growth has been based on personal vehicle transportation and growing out more than growing up.

People who come dt want to take their vehicles and so parking lots are needed to the detriment of vibrant, pedestrian-friendly streets and districts in our cors.

Right, got that. My trouble is that no one is using these parking lots. Prime time workday and 3/4 of the lots to the north of Epcor tower are empty with maybe 1 car. I’m just surprised the city hasn’t closed these and called it a day. Of course it’s a nuanced issue but still. They built ice district and let a block away rot?

The parking lots north of Epcor are in the roughest parts of the city. The people who insist on bringing their cars downtown from Windermere and St Albert also won’t feel too comfortable leaving their cars within minutes of Hope Mission.

We finally took a walk through there a few weeks ago and wow! It's gorgeous! We had to walk through the gauntlet of garbage strewing zombies and angry addicts north of the Rogers Place but in the end it was worth it. What a lovely space.

I love the pedestrian "trestle architecture"!

Lovely space. Let's hope the 'gauntlet of garbage strewing zombies and angry addicts' that's impacted so much of DT doesn't ruin this space. My sympathy is over. Not sorry.

well, if they maintain security and businesses fill those CRUs then there is a better chance. I wish the nearby bakery could come to this area.

It is probably not a great time to add commercial space downtown when there is still so much vacant space, so it may be challenging in the short term, but the space is very nice so it may fill up eventually.
