I've always liked the look of the parkade. Kinda mid-centruy modern. sans windows.

^How silly. You forgot the golden rule of this forum: Anything approved by a progressive-leaning city hall shall not and can not be criticized. Otherwise you will be attacked! One suspects many of the forumers may be city staff lol

The light design is horrid. The section on Jasper from 100 to 102 already looks dated and the bases the full of grim and always look dirty. This is another example of the 'most Edmonton thing you can do'. You know what would have worked? A standard, black ornamental Glenora-style street...

The temporary station that was NAIT should have been the permanent location. It was ideal for both the school and the mall.

It's really too bad Blatchford was not built with the full net-zero philosophy in mind. Have the blocks run east to west in a grid, ensuring north/ south orientation of most homes. That ensures south exposure has big windows for passive solar in the winter months (with an appropriate roof...

How about more buildings like this, but covered in a good, always ageless brick?? It's too bad the 50 floor original proposal is not gonna be built. But it's a sign of the times that demand fr DT living is not as strong as we all want it to be. The fixing of social disorder issues...

Hear, hear! Enabling social disorder in the name of compassion is/ has proven wrong. Our public spaces should be safe and accessible. Not breeding grounds for drug dealers and others who take advantage of those who are truly vulnerable. The fact that we, as a society, have allowed this to...

^Exactly!! The city is responsible for this, approving each development, while then admonishing people who need to drive. Well, of course they do, because the city approved a neighbourhood that's car-centric. What we're seeing/ living with is suburban density. It's terrible. But the city...

If the city stops greenfield development, it will just shift to outside city limits. Face it: SFH's are the preferred option for people because it's still attainable. If they can't buy it in Edmonton, they will move to St. Albert, Beaumont, Leduc, Spruce/ Stony. And the city will then lose...

Keep on cheer leading without acknowledging the actual problems that exist lol. Considering the city's population growth, the fact the DT has not captured a decent percentage of that is appalling. Keep on saying DT is great. The growth in the suburbs for both residential and office are proof...

What a misinformed comment. OEG didn't 'abandon' anything. As a private sector developer, they obviously ran the numbers and the return on investment wasn't there. There seems to be a lot of misdirected anger at why developers are not building downtown. The question should be WHY no one is...

It's too bad lessons weren't learned from the SE line. The city should have gone with more decorative polling for the catenary through Glenora and 104th ave. Even for Stony would have been nice. Le sigh.

Edmonton is its own worst enemy. We talk a big talk, but the actions and follow through are lacking.

Lovely space. Let's hope the 'gauntlet of garbage strewing zombies and angry addicts' that's impacted so much of DT doesn't ruin this space. My sympathy is over. Not sorry.

What's great about working from home is that it means Edmonton's downtown will remain stagnant for a very very long time! /s SMH
