What a difference it would make if instead of the tall frosted glass on that building we could've had flowerbeds ;(

Streetscape looks great tho. One thing no one can complain about in the VL LRT in general is the streetscaping.
Valley Line streetscaping is probably the best in the country for any street-running LRT. I'll fight any Ontarian that says otherwise
 
The challenge with 102 Avenue is the barren streetscape along City Centre Mall. I’m not sure that trees or flowers would work because of the lack of sunlight.
Creative light sculptures would have gone a long way. But ultimately it's up to the property owners to make something of their front door. There is nothing inherently wrong with the streetscape.

Lifting segments
 
I imagine that 107 Street will be finished first (e.g., railway tracks) before going ahead with 102 Avenue. I’m guessing that the Warehouse District Park construction will be the first priority, along with maintaining emergency vehicle access.
 
Still no LRT construction along 102 Ave. Are they finally gonna get started this year, or what?
I think their resources are spread pretty thin. Mind you transed didn’t start heavy work until 2018. I think it’ll be alright. They also may still be finalizing design / full integration regarding the connection with the SE
