This one is beautiful and more of what I wish we'd see. It should be the minimum standard for projects like Westrich's 106 ST or 108 ST. It's not fundamentally different than either project, but a step up in design. That's not to pick on them, those projects aren't the worst, but they're the first example that comes to mind.
Yes, the top one is very nice and within the size of several projects being built here downtown and elsewhere. I hope people who are building here, or considering doing so, take note of this.
Makes sense. I misinterpreted the PU zoning in the southern end of the park to be parking.Seems pretty clear that the majority of the park space is remaining untouched, including everything around the community league and land to the south. From what I can tell, they are losing one soccer field but the ball diamond and second soccer field are safe. Unclear where the skating rink is. Not saying it was the right decision, but the opposition made it sound like there would be no park space left at all if the sale went forward.

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.Seems pretty clear that the majority of the park space is remaining untouched, including everything around the community league and land to the south.

This makes me smile! One of the city's biggest eyesores.....
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).
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).
That's former eyesore to you, sir. Edmonton has lost one of her finest... shopping cart holding facilities.
