Got it thank!

No real news other than the crossing being explored is actually 80 avenue.

Thanks for reporting back! Connecting 80th Ave would still be great. (And I hope might make connecting 76th Ave more likely?)

Any sense on how likely this may be to happen or potentially when it could?

80 Ave crossing - no thanks.
76 Ave crossing or nothing at all.

City needs to acquire this piece of land (or lease it). Likely slowed down though because of the change in ownership structure of CP.

Both are beneficial. One more than the other, yes.

 

[Gronk!]

76 Ave has the potential to be another major east-west corridor from Argyll Road to Sask Drive, and an alternative route to the U of A Hospital. In fact it is the only route other than 82 Ave that crosses the Mill Creek Ravine. 80 Ave only goes from 95A St to 112 St, therefore an 80 Ave crossing is short-sighted and lacks vision. I'm almost certain that CPR is dictating things.

^ well ya it’s their property! Doesn’t mean 76 can’t happen down the road (pun intended).

And they can because of a very old law that puts their (CPR) land holdings in an untouchable category. They are in the catbird seat. The City would have to come to them with a pretty sweet offer to move them off the dime, probably in concert with the Feds and the Provs. I think the City could open a deal with them to provide a high-speed rail connection at least to EIA -- a hub for Edmonton. A resourceful administration would try to set up alliances with various interested parties for repurposing the land north of 76th Avenue to add to Old Strathcona -- Beljan, the "Hat" crew, the MacLab Group come to mind.

Does this render already include the residential building going over 80 Ave?

It does. That render is the residential building.

I looked back at my post from when I attended the council meeting and they openly discussed the future shared use path at 80 Ave. So apparently it’s nothing new.

So when would they move any containers into place?

Its not using actual containers, due to costs it is now a container inspired design (which you can see in the photos above)
