I'll add that the abutments on the existing bridge show signs of movement. the concrete guard walls at each end of the bridge (over the encased embankment at each end of the bridge, not the arch proper) are out of alignment with each other by over an inch at most joints, with the concrete...

ERRS is debuting two new streetcars June 7 at Fort Edmonton Park. This post has the key info. Personally I'm most excited for the barn tours, which will give access to the public to the (very well equipped, including a few original machines from Cromdale) restoration barn. This space hasn't been...

very, very dead. dead for a while.

Thank you for being positive on this thread. I think the tardiness of Transed is just something to avoid fixating on at this point lol. shit happens. In other news, Marigold has 2 segments up by West Ed now. I thought it was cool that they're forming the viaduct as segments pier-to-pier, out of...

did they get all the permits for this yet or are they still running on the 'structure only' one from a few months ago?

They were trying to sell the Emerald site on Jasper a few months ago. I have no idea where that landed on Regency's end, we looked at it for a client but that particular sale didn't move on. there's no way Regency isn't floundering right now. overextended on land, giant, high-capital projects...

weird depth... is this only 1 level u/g parkade? I think that's totally fair, given the size of the site, and unit count, and not wanting to overbuild (and thus overspend and have to overcharge in rent) for parking, but i'm still a bit surprised. idk. thanks for sharing!

Where does the new zoning bylaw 'open up the river valley to more development'? are there adjustments to the A/AP zones that do this?

This is the one i was referring to, I believe TAS was referring to the same. it was listed for sale a couple months ago. 113st foursquare-apartment conversion

Thanks, i wasn't aware of all the background drama. the building is in good shape. heavily renovated, but it's one of the last of those big foursquare-turned apartments left in Oliver. once it's boxed in (as things seem to be headed) it will be a funky little property. it seems to have some...

the house-6plex conversion thingamajig on the lot immediately north of the 6-storey woodframe site to the west of this (facing 113 st, across the back alley from the tower/demo site shown in photos here) went up for sale a couple months ago. the whole building, being sold as an income property...

OOOOOOOH that's what those panels are! I thought they were some kind of polished cementboard. Porcelain is a great product; the terracotta on the Ledge dome lasted a century before needing replacement. it's an exciting product if used right. tbh i think this wall is too big for a material so...

Had a presentation at work today by a cladding supplier, Porcelanosa. they have a proprietary porcelain rainscreen system that they were pitching; they specialize in mimicking natural materials, including wood and stone. their panels run from 3.5mm - 12mm, so as you can imagine, not a lot of...

i got a new high score on my Oliverbahn bike count this morning. i walk along the 102 Ave bike lane from 114 to 124 2-3x a week, and i usually count the bikes that go by. usually that number hovers around 30 in the morning, 40 in the evening, over the course of the 15-20 minutes i'm going...

Wait, what the heck? when did a mockup for the new LRVs get delivered?! I WANNA SEE thanks for sharing this. these interiors look like a spaceship. i worry about some of the lights and screens getting vandalized/freezing/failing prematurely, but these are pretty slick trains! Hopefully they are...
