Excavation is underway, and shoring has started!
The shoring seems a bit premature though since they still have a 20' mountain of soil onsite. I wonder if something went wrong with their dump trucks?
What reason could police use to kick them out though? On paper they are just people hanging out in the park, and in a park where there's literally nothing else to do since there's nothing there but benches and grass patches.
I wish we could have a law against dressing like a loser and making...
I imagine they would want to re-open in the base of the new building. Those same 4 tenants have been there for as long as I can remember, since the mid-90s when I used to roam the area as a kid. Only last year was Duke's Diner replaced (or renamed?) to "Off Campus".
There's also plenty of CRUs...
Seems odd to spend so much effort reconstructing the historic building to then just attach this boring beige box on the back. Hope it turns out better than the render.
I was thinking about that this week as well. I saw numerous newer buses that have AC (the ones with the big roof box on the front end) and had all their windows open as well. I would think the AC buses would need to be equipped with window locks as well, how is it going to work if people just...

From the article:
The tower would house 224 residential units — one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms plus den, two-bedrooms, and three-bedrooms — atop commercial space on the ground floor. Four retail units would front Jasper Avenue, while a restaurant would sit along the southwest corner of the...
Not sure if this has been posted already, I just found out the city is piloting a new secure bike storage facility downtown this summer! As usual it wasn't well advertised, I only found out because I emailed activetransportation@edmonton.ca asking if there were any plans for this. In their reply...
Rental listing is up, pricing is on the higher side with no included utilities. I hope it does well though!

I think they should just cut their losses and remove them all. It seems like the maintenance costs are going to be crazy, and all the broken doors are giving the stations a very dishevelled look.
