Was at a site meeting at the Edmonton Garrison this week. We were discussing all the work ongoing or coming. One thing lead to another and I mentioned there was a lot more work when it was changed for an Airforce Base to an Army base. It shocked me that they did not know it was that before. IHell the main road the various units use was a runway. Had to explain that Griesback was the army base.

As a base brat who lived in Namao, I am not surprised Army forgot their tank pad was part of a runway. Once was an alternate landing strip for the space shuttle due to its length.

I miss the airshows at Namao.

New (replacement?) francophone school.

New (replacement?) francophone school.

Permit includes demolishing the old school when done.

Looks like it'll be 2 schools (probably 1 building though?); a K-6 with 445 student capacity and a 7-12 with 335 student capacity.

A nice little 3 storey commercial infill project in Montrose at 6011 120 ave on what is a mini mainstreet on 120 ave. Backside of the building looks out onto Montrose Park. There was previously a smaller mixed use building (similar to the green building next door) on this lot. The only development permit I can find is a little outdated (see below). Initially it was for a 3rd floor expansion to the existing building with a medical clinic as the occupant.

Hat @ 106, eh? Interesting. That wouldn't be their Strathcona one.

There's an empty lot on Whyte & 106, plus there's lots of empty lots on 106 St downtown.

Hmmm....good point....maybe we should be looking at Whyte instead of DT. 106th St could be the One Properties' Dog Park....

Bad photos, but 4 fences off houses next to an empty lot on University Ave in McKernan.

Not sure what’s planned or if we could be seeing another mid rise.

 

[MacLac]

Who knew that portion of University Ave had a concrete roadway?
