My friend at Atco said he’s heard nothing and they have a half empty office on the west end, so he’d be surprised if they had any changes.

I would imagine street parking is in the tens of thousands, not hundreds.

Yeah, a good note on RTO. I’ve definitely heard anecdotally that for those doing 2-3 days in office, the cost of driving (both to park and also congestion/time) is seen an ok because WFH days sorta offset. But if someone is 5 days in office, does that calculation of costs and time start to change?

Ridership loss on the capital line for office workers has been substantial I’m sure. Basically all my friends that used to take it to the office now drive, WFH, or bike. Safety/drug use is the reason for all of them. Most of them are 5”11+ men. “Choice riders” got decimated for downtown...

Man we need some 103/104ave towers to help downtown feel filled in more. This will be the tallest building in the area for a while haha

I’m glad you’ve had all good experiences. And the kids area is certainly well protected. But I have rarely ever been there without at least one of the following (often multiple): - red alert gang members in the library - blood, garbage, gross stuff on the bathroom floor - homeless person...

Does that mean it’s allowed to be built on yet? I know the time is coming…but delaying it 10-15 years would make a lot of sense I think. We shouldn’t be building new suburbs faster than we can service them with police, transit, schools, and recreation facilities.

Not fully open for 2 weeks still. But soft opened to family of employees to help test it out. Finishing touches still being made.

We aren’t even scheduled yet in my area. Tough to now be at 1 month of no biking because our roads are impassable. Can’t come soon enough…

A few notes: It’s more like 12,000, and then it’s also more like 1.2mil residents. St. Albert pays for their own roads, etc. Toronto population should also be the city, 6mil includes huge suburbs like Durham I believe. But yes, we often have 3-5x the amount of road, pipeline, sqkm of land...

Beljan has a lot of vacancies across their projects. I’m sure a dentist gives a stability the fancy donut shops don’t.

Or as Omar calls it, another 150mil spent on bike infrastructure!!! Dudes such a clown.
