What's the story behind the school conversion?

What's the story behind the school conversion?

It's the STEM Innovation Academy charter school. Being close to the University and in the research park helps with the schools branding/marketing. Not meant as a criticism of the school or charters in general, but it's more important for charters because they don't have a natural catchment like CBE/CSSD.

What's the story behind the school conversion?

Here's an article from a few years ago when it was first announced (here). Multiple schools have been operating out of the building for a few years now. The construction now is to add a gym to the building.

I passing by Bridgeland and saw some drillers or pile drivers. Towards the east end, thought maybe it was the CNIB proposal?

It would be the East Riverside Project

Noticed they were doing what appeared to be soil sampling on this empty lot on 14 st today

Its been for sale for a while and I've always thought it would be a good location for a smaller *tokyo vibes* mixed use development

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but it appears construction has started on the 6th SE street underpass.

It’s nice that there’s another underpass going in, but is there a reason they would do 6th st se before doing 11th St.?

Basically just politics... The province is paying for it because of the new arena, and their proposed rail station.

It is for sure under construction. I passed by yesterday, but wasn’t able to get a pic.

Yes, I know someone working on it.

Have any designs ever been made public? It's a bit odd that for some things the city does we get endless engagement and then for other things, like the 6th St underpass, construction goes ahead with zero engagement whatsoever.

I had the same thought, and haven’t found anything online. Nevermind engagement, not even a rendering. The CMLC website just shows an image of the 4 Street SE underpass.

New light standards on Stephen ave

Patios getting set up all along the Ave, Social beer haus was open

 

[The Familia]

Seriously? That’s the light standards they are going with for a “historic” district? Utter garbage. Does anyone ever think before they make decisions? I’m just curious who thought to themselves, “hmm…I think a very basic, minimalist, sleek, lamp post will go perfect in a historical district made of sandstone and brick.”
