If interest rates go down (and people are predicting they will), we’ll definitely see a surge in construction activity.

I think you mean Epcor Tower. Parks II will slightly edge out the Manulife Tower as well (which will be insane considering Manulife dominated the skyline for 3 decades, maybe 4 considering Epcor only beat it because of the spires).

My guy, you were just straight up rude to VanFan, while he was simply posting something that you don’t find relevant. Apples to oranges here.

Looks like the city has installed these rails by the vents at Century Park Station to keep people from sleeping there. Consequently, I didn’t see anyone loitering there today.

Looks like they’re starting to dig the trench in which the highway will go below the overpass.

Well this is quite hostile. Tone it down bud, it’s not a bad thing to have guys like VanFan posting to gauge what’s happening in other airports.

Also, I’m disappointed to see the lack of provisions in the new plan for a freight rail spur from Canadian Pacific to the cargo development. If the airport seriously wants to be an inland port, it needs rail connectivity, which would also be useful for an airport express line.

Honestly, both master plans weren’t great for connecting LRT to the airport terminal. The last one used a branch spur that would have resulted in poor frequencies to an otherwise major destination, with the possibility of needing an extra transfer. And of course, this new plan gave up on...

Curious, how well would it sit with you if the city opted to build the spur to downtown cut-and-cover, with the streetcar tracks being temporarily displaced and then set right back where they were originally after construction? I fear tunnel boring would dramatically escalate the cost.

Was on Whyte yesterday and noticed that The Tavern has reopened its (freshly painted) doors. Also, JMT is opening a location on Whyte. The street really seems to be picking up.

Oh nice, so finally, we’re roughly on par with Calgary.

About time 💯

I’m confused. If there are no traffic impacts, why not do the work during the day to mitigate noise and lighting impacts on the hospital and other surrounding buildings?

I think the issue of the annoying transfer will be resolved once the LRT is extended down to Heritage Valley and that can be the spot where the 747 drops people off. No annoying pedway to deal with there (another reason I am so damn excited for this LRT extension)

Little Italy is a far better as a name than Boyle Street. It doesn’t carry the same negative connotations (might actually carry the connotations of a quaint, lively and exotic market) and it could be designed with cool themed architecture and artwork.

You’ve got my number, so go ahead and add me 🙂

Those renders look beautiful. But the opening date got delayed AGAIN to 2029? 😫😫😫

Would love to be able to fly KLM, but unfortunately, Hyderabad, India (my final destination) only connects directly to Europe via London and Frankfurt (by Lufthansa). It’s also worth mentioning that Lufthansa launched the route literally last week, so I wonder if that’s why there are glitches?

Hey guys, if I wanted to book a one-stop flight itinerary between Edmonton and some other destination with a layover in Frankfurt, how would I go about doing that? I know that Condor flies between Edmonton and Frankfurt on Tuesday (leaves YEG on Tuesday, lands on Wednesday in FRA, and return...

Ohmigod we forgot to take pictures 😖 but it was so much fun meeting everyone today! And yes, let’s do the Whatsapp group
