Anyone know why is takes quarterly reports so long to release? For example, the quarterly report for Q2 2021 reviews activity from April through June, but it took until September for them to release it. Now, Q3 is done, but the quarterly report still hasn't been released.

Took this short video last night near Bonnie Doon. Oh and made it into a Tik Tok.

I’m guessing around mid-December.

Sounds like you're expecting a lot man. Don't be so hard on them. It's covid. Would rather the report be done right than on time. Lots of cities are late on their reports too.

The elevated guideway along 87 Avenue?

Henday Crossing ground work has started. Still doing deep utilities along 87ave. But we could see the elevated station get started in the spring.

Couldn’t believe the number of buildings that are bordered up along Stony Plain Rd. Especially that sketchy old hotel around 152nd? There’s also an entire strip mall bordered up and fenced along with at least a dozen or so more. Are these expropriations for the West line? Or merely smart business acumen amongst the landlords and getting go to build new stuff?

As a resident 3 blocks south... its rough up there right now. No one in our areas really crosses 100th Ave. Really optimistic about the future, but my sense is the next 2 years will suck, then we'll start to see projects come as the line gets closer to completion. The crime, homelessness, and shuttered stores is as bad as the quarters/boyle area

Jasper Gates is badly needed to get the ball rolling. Then 5+ residential projects like the recent ones on Whyte with podium bays are needed as well. Stony in 15 years will hopefully be close to where 124th is now. But it'll be a slow build without more "forces".

Honestly, some of those businesses weren't exactly thriving or adding much to the street or neighborhood, so it's probably for the better in the long run

Tawatina Bridge update: the MUP across the bridge is coming along nicely, and you can finally see some work done on the bike/pedestrian paths and the trees that will be planted.

Along with the paving of 75 and 66 Streets, I also drove by and saw the multi-use path on the west side paved.

So I drove past this evening at around 1:00 am on my way home from work and there was a bunch of crew trying to do paving, concrete work, possibly landscaping from Davies station to at least 38 ave

I wouldn't vote for Joshua. If I'm not mistaken, he's a low level bureaucrat for the GoA. What experience does he have? Plus, he's polling close to last place. I really though he was a joke candidate when I first heard about him.
