Beat me by one second. This seems like an obvious yes to me, but with it being Parkview I bet the wealthy retirees will sound the fire alarm.

"Pretty ugly" -- if there was a tax on ugly, this building could eliminate the national debt.

When people say we need more suburban sprawl because “not everyone wants to live downtown”…. This is the crap I’m talking about. So much capacity for increased density within the city that isn’t even in urban/central areas.

Stop greenfield expansion until more of these sites are redeveloped.

A really insightful event hosted by https://www.infilledmonton.com/ yesterday.

Rise is building lots of pretty crappy stuff all over the west end. Ugly, poorly designed, every time.

Yeah, it does stick out in a very non-subtle way... not really a fan.

Where will that lost capacity go? Oh right: urban sprawl.

Will there be a subsequent motion to upzone near LRT stations?

Tbh, I’d like to see a bit more high density around the LRT than just basement suites in every single new house.

Gentle density is great, but does make transit a further walk for more people and takes away from the vibrancy of clustered residential/commercial.

 

[trevorhayden]

High density development around LRT does not happen by accident. It requires upzoning.
