That has more to do with it. I know a lot of my projects are using them, also less ground disturbance.

Other countries have wash basins for trucks exiting sites.

I've seen some use in Canada. But definitely not common. I've also seen cattle guards used as shakers.

Shot from EPCOR Tower. Will be more interesting once the Building gets out of the ground.

A brief history of the man named Grant MacEwan

A moment in history: June 19, 1967

On this day in 1967, Grant MacEwan, Alberta's lieutenant governor at the time, presided over a fictitious citizenship ceremony for 300 Boy Scouts.

^^ When I look at this picture I can't help but think how that land north of the University has so much potential to be transformed into a hub of some sort that can cater to students and resident alike. Sorta like a Whyte/Kensington area for the MacEwan community.

Agreed. I've always thought that zone could get incredibly cool and very quickly with the right magic.

Not so -- it is reserved for a new stadium with high-rise structures in the corners.

Does your wife know your penchant for insolence (I bet she does!)

Yes, it actually probably wouldn't take much. Just replacing a few of the smaller older industrial buildings with denser residential with some main floor commercial or retail could probably do it.

Give the proximity to MacEwan it would probably make sense to do so.

 

[Clearshades]

I'm curious what kind of "stadium" could be built there? Maybe a skateboard stadium could fit in that small parcel.

 

[David A]

MacEwan may need some land in the area for future expansion itself, so the remaining parcel could end up even smaller.

 

[Clearshades]

It would be a perfect location for another student residence tower tying in with the existing tower IMO. Perhaps give them a fenced in outdoor common area with a fire pit etc... I recalled this parcel was a proposed twin tower condos at one point.
