That's not what you said, though. From your post: High decision maker of laws are housed together which could potentially.allow for better networking.. That networking would be problematic, and it would be more likely if the courts and EPS were housed in the same building. As BrettB said...

Citizens can also be righteously upset over wasted civic assets. But I suppose people are within their rights to stand up for a corporation's ability to maintain a dead zone on a city's main street for years with no time-based plan to address it.

It's probably not a good idea to provide an avenue for EPS to exert more influence over the judiciary. As for the mailer posted above, the fear mongering over crime is really taking off. I hope that people are paying attention and following along with the playbook.

I'd counter this by saying that we're all stakeholders in the city, and financially vested to boot. These aren't lots in a far flung industrial zone. They are prominent locations that have an impact on the attractiveness of our city, both from the insider and outsider's perspective. The go-to...

Roll shutters have been common for a very long time and are ubiquitous in large cities. It's not a signal of a descent into anarchy, but a pretty basic measure in security and damage prevention for a business with large window frontage. They also assist with energy efficiency, so you may see...

This would be an upgrade on the library.

Niagara falls, indeed.

It's pretty unsettling that a developer that has a significant impact on prominent areas of our city would have important work go undone unless another developer does it for them.

Public consultation and rational decision making are not mutually exclusive. If it's pure NIMBYism, then I get it, but if that sentiment is rooted in problems that can be addressed through better design, then a responsible corporate citizen will welcome community input to ensure that they...

Didn't you hear? All we have to do is ensure that Edmonton aligns politically with the UCP and we'll get more attention.

I know, right? I mean, why would posters on a high-rise-centric forum want high-rises to be built?

On the other hand, they need some extra cash to be able to pay Bobby Burgers' wife to write the Joey Moss book. It's pricey bringing in an A-list author like that, and you can be sure that there were no Edmontonian authors qualified to write a children's book based on the life of an Edmonton icon.

A midrise with podium access to the mall and lowrise/row opposite in the SW corner of the parking lot (which is always empty) would be a great start. The mall really seems to have become a community gathering space, so I hope that it can be retained and benefit the tenants as well with...

Maclab has bought Mill Woods Town Centre and plans to add infill development to the property - no changes to mall ops in the near future. https://edmontonjournal.com/business/local-business/maclab-group-plans-housing-around-mill-woods-town-centre-mall

Thankfully we have provincial leadership that will get right on that, right after they're done shutting down children's hospice care.

"I get some have mental setbacks, but many are substance abusers that are constantly trying to find a way to scam the system." This sentence is a common way to disregard and discard those suffering from addiction. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the post, but it sure reads like a lot of people on...

^This post is quite devoid of empathy, and also does nothing to counter the claim of short-sightedness.

It’s probably more appropriate to criticize the lack of property development from a property developer than lack of property development from an internet poster.

I wonder if that was the strategy. The first version was excellent, but they needed to change it for whatever reason. So they throw out that garbage second rendering so that number three looks great by comparison.

I'm just going by their website, but it looks like First Edmonton Place in 1982 was their first tower development, and they have had multiple mid-rise residential and commercial projects throughout the US and Canada and a few more towers sprinkled in. They're also vertically integrated in...
