    Edmonton Companies News & Discussion

    I shouldn't even bother replying to you, but alas... San Diego still holds the highest amount of vessels and personnel for the Pacific Fleet, as well as significant maintenance facilities and support operations, so while the formal HQ is in Hawaii, indeed, SD has as many, if not more, military...

    Here I am laughing because this is gonna be my riding for the next 3 1/2 years. It is very surprising she crossed, but most of the people I've spoken with around here seem to be supportive of it, which is even more surprising.

    If by strategic you mean from a military standpoint, that is likely Edmonton's biggest advantage. But I agree, it is very unlikely, unfortunately. BUUUUUT, could also be one of those keystone projects that change the city's standing forever. I would love Edmonton to become Canada's "San Diego"...

    Alberta Politics

    It's good for the budget, which could be argued is good for the province in the long term, but with all the inflationary pressures that sustained high oil prices bring, it is definitely a double edged weord. That's not to mention that, should prices stay high enough to average $74+ it will mean...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    The only real benefit for elevating it over 104 Ave would be to private vehicles, in an area of the city where the goal has been very overtly to reduce car dependency. God forbid they don't have the priority over every other transportation mode... Not to mention that "looking urban" and being...

    Edmonton Oilers

    to be fair, the first goal on Jarry was definitely not his fault. A double bounce on two Oilers' players on a screened shot. He saved 17 or the next 18 shots (.944 sv%) and his total .889 sv% was not reflective of his overall play, he played way better than the scoresheet shows. He's definitely...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I think it's only a mistake if you think of it in terms of vehicular traffic. Anyone expecting 104 ave to be as fast flowing as it was before the LRT is deluded, as it was always very clear that the LRT being there was going to make it slower, and part of it is having longer traffic light cycles...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    It is wild how 90% of the planet manages all of these things perfectly without all the left turn lanes. Delivery vehicles don't use those unless there is no alternative, (Amazon, UPS, Canada Post and FedEx, for sure don't) because making left turns has been proven to be slower and the accident...

    Figured it... This is where the old The Shift project was gonna go, and is now no longer under that name. We should update the thread.

    Student Housing Accelerator

    We've seen both projects on that block. The Westrich one and the other was also posted here recently. I don't know if the thread is under that name, however.

    Lilac Park | 20.2m | 6s | Westrich Pacific | J+S Architect

    While the calculation details for ROI can be complex, the overall logic that will get us to more high rises being built is simple: More people in the area -> more eyes on the street and more vibrancy More eyes on the street and more vibrancy -> better perception and more successful businesses...

    97 Street Bridge

    out of the many things I see reason to be nostalgic of, this is definitely not one of them. I honestly perceive it as a very big divider between "new" Chinatown, "old" Chinatown and the rest of downtown. It doesn't feel safe walking/biking either under or over it, it serves absolutely no purpose...
