My dream scenario in in Wikhwentowin is that the current pool and arena can be "consolidated" into a large natural pool like in Borden.

I doubt that the airport's planning documents are taking a connection to Leduc into account.

It has been mothballed.

It's great to see that the right of way is planned for.

To me, this is a massive selling point of simply extending the Capital Line all of the way to YEG. I believe you that developers would be very interested in developing land further along the LRT route, and we have already seen with infill along the Valley Line what this means for density and...

How suitable are these buildings for a residential or hotel conversion?

I fully agree. I also behave this way in larger cities like Toronto, where I take the subway whenever possible even if a bus route is technically more direct.

After witnessing how the UPX basically functions as another subway line in Toronto, I would be all for this.

This is why I've been assuming that the BRT to Castle Downs will lead to a Capital Line extension toward YEG instead of an extension to St. Albert. This is the line that the UCP wants and I offer Calgary's Green Line as an example of how those politics play out. Of course, if the NDP takes...

I wonder if WestJet's Alberta-based culture has led to some blindspots toward the scale of the Quebec market...

I'm very happy about this. 800 people in the exact perfect location for the very cool commercial area developing behind MacEwan. And 800 people directly along the Valley Line.

Are you suggesting that adding context is helpful so that you can understand it? ;)
