Still unsure about it all.

This was and still is very much about the radius required for the LRT.

Not quite - these buildings (plus Western Cycle on 124th) were demolished because the land is needed for a traction power substation.

 

[IanO]

Radius + required infra, yes.

 

[Fetch]

This is very much an LRT related demolition, similar to the other demos along the Valley Line West route.

Well that's fine. On way or another if the building had to go, the so be it. Let's hope though that this will facilitate the construction of the WBF a little bit.

oops, I cut off the legend. The star is the traction power substation approx location

Could the substation somehow be incorporated into the building?

 

[Glenco]

They certainly didn’t need both lots for the curve of the track.

 

[archited]

It looks like a go-ahead!

Nope, but they did for the TPSS.

 

[Glenco]

Nope, but they did for the TPSS.

We are aware of that now but before others were insisting they neede both lots for the curve of the track.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Well we now have a nice empty lot, so the question is will we see any construction here anytime soon.

Look like it was recently seeded? WjAt was there before?

There was on old 1 storey building. There was a restaurant on the corner and a comic book shop.

Right right…..now it’s staging for the WLRT….
