This. Edmonton is a hub for many many medical services and needs to have the extra capacity to help people from these rural northern areas who come down for specialized care, intensive care, etc. It doesn't matter whether you like to vote for the UCP or NDP or whatever party. Edmonton NEEDS...

I'm so excited to hear about what's happening with this site. It has potential to be one of the coolest developments in the city depending on how its done imo.

This is Oklahoma City slander. how dare you put the city with the future tallest tower in NA at the bottom of your list. SHAME 😤 Jk, awesome list my friend!

A vibey evening on Columbia/105th Ave. Can we do more tree planting like this building did? even with the tight space these trees seem to have grown pretty well.

Jeez, maybe utilizing the character of the building this thread is focused on to expand the conversation further is what creates interesting dialog.

This is true, the City of Vancouver proper has made good strides. I like the densification of their main street corridors like Cambie for example. With that said, in the rest of the metro area (where most people in Vancouver's CMA live) the Toronto-style of skyscrapers next to single-family...

Are there any good clubs you guys would recommend that are still open nowadays? Like I said in the A&N thread, this knowledge isn't mainstream for people my age and everyone just goes to Beercade or the Buckingham so I need suggestions guys 😆

i can't wait for Imagine Jasper to get to 124th. The new streetscaping isn't anything special at all, I know, but it truly is 100x better than the cracking monowalks and streetlights hanging by strings that exist on this end of Jasper.

I think there's a reason why many cities around the world have lots of low to mid-rise buildings making up a large portion of their urban fabric. They're a more natural and human-scale style of development and are (usually) a result of a naturally increasing urban density. When you have...

I'll say as well that, walking down 111 st going North, Sync along with Allard Hall creates a nice mid-density vibe on that block that I'd like to see expanded more North of 104th.

Omg can we PLEASE have this era again 😭 I want variety man, not just Beercade, the Buckingham and O'Byrnes as the only options I feel comfortable with.

Oof, that's rough but true 💀 As someone that's 20 and has been to Beercade more than I'd like to admit, I also wish there were a) more venues like it bit with a more chill atmosphere and more of a focus on the games themselves, and b) waaaay more places to dance and have a good time that aren't...

F*** right turns on a red. One of the most dangerous and stupid traffic laws ever. Genuinely makes life worse for everyone, especially pedestrians and apparently LRT vehicles now.

Well this was completely unexpected! I'm excited for this 👀

Would the big hole in the ground that's already been dug be a potential barrier for a new developer and proposal? I would say a nice 5 to 6 storey mixed-use building going here would be cool too, but it'd have like 6 levels of parking! 😭

In my opinion, the idea that one's inner-city neighbourhood isn't supposed to densify or change in any substantial way is antiquated and needs to go. Like you guys have pointed out, the areas surrounding the U of A have so much potential demand for housing, businesses, etc., and the fact that...

I agree with everything you said and I'll take it a step further. I believe Alberta's entire political system is subservient to the interests of the oil and petrochemicals industry, and that applies to the UCP, NDP, and every other party when it comes down to it. Is the NDP better than the UCP...

Sometimes I ask myself "why do I get so excited about something as seemingly mundane as a building being built, which in of itself usually takes years to complete?" And "How would I explain my excitement to my family/friends who most of the time couldn't care less about Edmonton's roster of...

I remember in 2017 being excited for the groundbreaking of this building in October 2018... my first post on this website may be under this thread I think. Alldritt Tower, you will always have a special place in my heart, and part of me still believes that you'll get built before Alldritt...

I'll suggest something a little different: What about a small-format urban hardware/furniture store? 👀 I can't believe that this isn't more of a thing yet, and I can only imagine how useful it'd be for Wihkwentowin residents.
