Makes sense. I misinterpreted the PU zoning in the southern end of the park to be parking.

I believe it's actually a dry pond area for heavy rainfall events (hence the weird civil grading and why it can't be used for sports fields).

What I don’t understand on these projects is the priority being “evenly dispersing” these sorts of builds instead of aligning them with the plethora of other goals we have around sustainability, active transportation, 15min communities, and nodes.

is this the right place? 20% of most Canadians’ spending is transportation. Is car dependent affordable housing actually affordable?

Agreed. Seems like a really odd choice for this type of project, since Wedgewood is one of the least walkable and most car dependent neighbourhoods within the Henday. At least there's a nearby grocery store and bus stop nearby, but basically nothing else, including assumedly the services the residents may want to access (healthcare, social services, recreation centres, post secondaries, etc).

This makes me smile! One of the city's biggest eyesores.....

That's former eyesore to you, sir. Edmonton has lost one of her finest... shopping cart holding facilities.
