The Quarters stop should never been fully built. Rough-in, yes. But not built until it was confirmed that development would start around it.

Screw that idea, I have used quarters a lot.

^Ah, so a stop that's a de facto shelter (because there is really nothing around it) is ok because you 'used quarters a lot'. cool.

As someone who takes the Valley Line almost every day, the Quarters gets a surprising amount of usage, by working professionals too.

Give your de facto brain shelter a shake. its seemingly under utilized.

I've used Quarters frequently. It a closer connection to the route 5 than Churchill or 102 St.
I see less people using Avonmore and Muttart.

I’m sure Quarters will see greater use when the new part of the Winspear opens.

The Quarters stop is located in the heart of Chinatown. They had to remove the old Harbin gate to accommodate construction. Of course, you can debate how much people actually use the place, especially the Chinatown residents, but acting as if there's little to nothing there is deceptive.

I would still use the Churchill stop. It's basically right in front of the Winspear

Historically I suppose, but the heart of Chinatown moved away from this area decades ago although still a few things left such as the seniors residence.

However, mostly this area is a collection of empty or underused commercial space and parking lots.

Not moved, foreced.

Historic chinatown was gutted via development, much like historic black neighborhood's were.

We are only slightly better than Calgary, who has the distinction of having tried to burn theirs down along with physically harming the people who loved and worked there.

Moved, forced ... whatever. Over the decades, Edmonton excels at destroying its vibrant retail areas downtown which is partly why it is in the sad state it is now.

We should rename this area the Empty Quarters.
