There are occasionally a few opportunities that have sat under ones noses for decades and no one noticed or felt there may be too many obstacles to realize. One such opportunity is Edmonton’s MacDonald Drive, the case study for the #CanU8 design charrette. Ironically, 100 years ago there was a plan to make the terrace “rival the famous Dufferin Terrace” in Quebec City, but this never materialized and over time the car-oriented road became the main functional characteristic for the street. The #CanU8 Summit offered a rare opportunity to radically and proactively re-think the space.
