Yes, this is a good location. Also not a lot of character homes in this city, for those who are looking for that. I suspect there is less aversion to buying an older home from some people moving here recently from places where they are more common or desirable.

I did walk along it recently and I agree they did a good job. However, I think it might also help to put some planters or something closer to the road to provide more of a buffer.

Well it hasn't happened in the last 30 or so years, but perhaps it will sometime in the future. More importantly, I feel it would be better design for the park not to be hidden in the shadows of a building or buildings to the south of it. I don't feel that the entire space to the south would...

Yes, it would be best if the park were not blocked in the future by some building to the south for visibility, safety and accessibility. So I hope the city will eventually add some of the space to the south to the park. And maybe we then we will even room for a very nice fountain, that they...

For all the recent whining about Commonwealth Stadium, it remains the largest and best major stadium in Alberta. Probably the only one capable of hosting big outdoor concerts. Likewise we also have Rogers Place, so people from the south regularly have to travel up here for events and shows...

Yes, I actually think they have very little interest in this and given the lack of business experience on council, I suspect little aptitude at it either. I am not against growing the residential population, but if we continue to focus on jobs in suburban locations then it will be hard to...

A beautiful Lululemon store for downtown Edmonton would be very exciting!

As has already been pointed out the pictures are not at or near the Legislature Grounds, which I also suspect has fairly active security patrols. The sad thing about nice landscaping and benches in certain areas is it can end up turning into homeless hangouts. This is sometimes what happens...

It seems to be more of a GTA and GVA problem, so as often the case it then gets portrayed as a national problem. The inventory growth here is in the lower middle range of cities, and unlike in some other places with more inventory growth, actually supported by sales growth.

Yes, whether it be 10 stories or something taller, anything is better than an empty lot. Although I do feel something taller makes sense for this site.

The city core is not densifying because unlike many other large Canadian cities our downtown has fairly limited and stagnant private sector employment opportunities. Over many decades our city has done little to encourage more private businesses to move here and locate downtown in the mistaken...

Interesting, if so there may be a shift back to going by bus which may partly explain the Calgary weak air travel growth. I also don't understand why no direct Vancouver/Edmonton bus yet, but perhaps that will happen soon. However then you would think eastern Canada with distances between...

Yes, it is sort of odd rental development is so booming now even though prices are similar to or less than the mortgage cost here. But perhaps like elsewhere, higher interest rates have put off buyers particularly younger, first time ones and they are waiting for those rates to come down soon...

If the Federal government does change next year, it would not be a surprise if some of the funding for transit changes, so the slow down may happen eventually regardless. While the increased Federal funding over the last few years has been a good thing in many ways I wonder if it has set off a...

What I had heard referred to a fixed or flat rate amount of money per business which would have been helpful, simple and perhaps would have worked. However, almost anything can be made complex and government does love to make programs complex these days perhaps excessively so. Which...

Oh no, we can't have a "precedent" for helping struggling small business people negatively impacted by what the city does. Having the city actually try do something helpful, that would never do!

I realize there is a lot of bias against multi family developments by SFHs and rationalizations for them. Much of relates to fear of change, having lower income, having less desirable or people living in their area. However, it doesn't sound so good to say that out loud so other obstacles and...

Sean while you are at it, I have a couple questions about this for the Councilor. First of all, were those cost overruns on the South LRT actually borne by the city, or is he mischaracterizing this? Second, about the Valley Line West, can he provide us any further supporting information about...

Today, City Council said it didn't have money to support businesses for long term disruption due to construction. So if this is the case, maybe they should also be putting more projects on hold until they do have money.
