Rossdale

It may be 'hard' as in time-consuming and having to deal with multiple levels of goverment, but the cards are literally stacked in our favour. This is a winnable project.

"In a Global Edmonton viewer poll, 62% of voters are in favour of the concept, while 38% oppose the idea." - from the article cited by IanO on post #38.

I grew up in Ottawa and loved the canal, purposefully explored San Antonio's two years ago and still was not a believer when I sat around the table of those wanting to convince a larger group.

This has probably been brought up before, but my one extreme wish for Rossdale is that it needs an Urban Canal (lol) that ties in to "Touch" The Water Promenade/Funicular Pathway/Gondola.
Use cases for all seasons.
Skating/biking/walking amenity.
Developments tied in to the area.
Zone to allow for patios of all sizes.
Tree lined pathways.
Small bridges (feel the romance).
Small boats allowed
Locks for access to N. Sask.

I agree, this is doable.

I lived in Ottawa for a few years, and while the Rideau is great for walking near and skating on, Colonel By runs along most of it, and it obviously wasn't designed as something to develop around, which is why I think a purpose built Canal/Weir/Waterway/Waterthing to develop around would make Rossdale more of a destination (imagine if GenZ Instagram had Rossdale Canal instead of Manchester Square, amirite???). Which is definitely a very subjective vision for the area lol, but we gotta be more imaginative in Rossdale than JUST rowhouses and mixed-use density.

I do feel like environmental and Indigenous Land consultations probably factor in heavily against a project like this, which we should 100% consider and which is maybe why this idea would never come to fruition.

I was hoping if I wish hard enough, maybe we can fall somewhere amongst the stars and get some pond/stream/water fountain type thing lol.
 
Stopped by the East Village today and was reminded how West Rossdale/Rossdale Powerplant could become something of a fantastic community and should take some of its lead from this.

i think sometimes the desire to see here what has been done elsewhere is simply because, no matter what it is, they managed to finish it where we never seem to finish anything before rushing off to chase the next shiny penny that will supposedly fix all that’s wrong.
