These two intersections alone have set back public acceptance of scrambles by years. I personally love scrambles, but even I have grown to loathe these two as useless. Its infuriating to regularly wait twice for scrambles that have almost no usage, especially on the major through route on the...

I dunno, as a regular but not daily user of that road it seems like the crossing are far less frequent and the trains move through it faster than they do at the 50th street one. I could be wrong though, maybe the time of day I travel through it has less frequent disruptions. I'm not sure its...

Who do I have to kill for it to include a mid-range community pub?

I don't understand why they even bothered to include the tap off feature. I've only ever seen it used in places where there is a different cost for going a shorter distance. If we actually had zones or distance based fares then it would be useful, otherwise its just useless!

No, I don't think you do. I know alot of families for whom the wadding pool was a highlight who will be far less excited about yet another spray park. It was a lazy/cheap decision made by people who don't value public spaces as worthwhile investment for the community.

This part makes me nervous, the "Successful business operator to Developer" path seems to often result in once used land turning into vacant lots. See Wild Earth Bakery....

I think jwroller told us everything. They are clearly connected to the whole fiasco to have such a visceral reaction to a tasteless joke. Seems the south building owner won't grant access until Roxy admits fault and fixes any damages to their building, and Roxy won't admit fault while the whole...

I found this sales post from Avison Young. Very much looks like its been chopped up into separate developments. Likely generic 4-6 story ones as everything else in that area is. https://www.avisonyoung.ca/properties/high-pointe-at-clareview

Pretty sure the 747 is governed/funded by a collection of Leduc County, City of Leduc, City of Edmonton, and YEG with service being provided by ETS. Probably best to hound all 4 groups.

Any idea if they are still managing to move forward? Progress seems to have ground to a halt with less activity on the Instagram page. Really hoping this isn't dead/bankrupted by the cost of saving the building.

https://globalnews.ca/news/10477387/southeast-edmonton-shooting-crime-ellerslie/ Yup, only a Downtown and Northside problem, yup.

My understanding is that the cost to secure, remediate, and demolish the Dwayne's Home site along with the unpaid taxes is greater than the expected value from the sale. Which is why IMO the City should (but I don't believe can) be able to recover the remaining balance from the sale of Procura's...

The city should be allowed to expropriate some of that sale to cover the costs of taking over the Dwayne's Home. Sadly that's not how it works and we are on the hook. I hate when corporations get to dump their problems on the community.

https://thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewables-pause-grid-operator/ I don't see any way this can be considered pro-business or good governance. More evidence the move to pause renewables was pure pettiness to attack an industry they don't like.

To my untrained eye it looks like the "link building" is meant to interface in the red box I highlighted here. And that the windows in the purple box are meant to be easily removed to create a seamless indoor space. Their posts also say "These renderings are for illustrative purposes only. Final...

I mean I would welcome a replacement program. Ride Transit is a horrifically administered program. Running it through Recreation instead of ETS directly was a lazy and stupid way to design it. That being said, no way is there a replacement program coming. I hope Sohi is successful in shaming...

This! We really need to set property taxes as a percentage and then leave it as something the city works within. But then our outrage farmers wouldn't get their chance to play victim every year. While we are fantasizing, let the province collect its own education taxes.

Ugh, the eagerness and speed at which they put this together is gross. I don't care how good their platform is, no way am I voting for anyone aligned with them.

If it ends up being actual HSR then there is no way there will be at grade crossings anywhere.. Would need to be either raised above or under Whyte anyway, don't think Station Park will matter. My bet is it sinks underground just before Whyte, then comes out similar to the LRT bridge before an...
