Can someone explain why over $200M of government support is needed to support 4 games? Where is all this money going to?

I would rather support a restaurant owned by a Russian oligarch over the owners of Transit. Can only hope that Transit fails and the owners go bankrupt.

Don't need cars stopping on a hill so a pedestrian can save a couple steps. It's not safe, and is not needed in this case.

Absolutely true. I think it's because there hasn't been much pushback to having homeless people and drug addicts using these spaces as temporary shelter during the day, especially when the weather is cold. It just comes off as cruel if the police or Peace officers are seen as kicking these...

That's fair, and you have every right to your opinions and I'm not saying you're wrong. For this particular location, our opinions differ.

I'm sorry, are you the authority on this Tommy? I do support bike lanes. Also, I do support parking and cars when warranted. You really need so stop coming off as so entitled.

Thanks for the information, and like I previously have stated, I support bike lanes. I don't, however, support them in every location. In the end, this location is likely to get one of 3 options to support better bike lane infrastructure here. Some of you people really need to chill. Parking...

I love the promenade. Used it a lot to both go for walks, cycle along it, and use a scooter when I lived in Oliver. It is absolutely fantastic, especially after the coffee food truck started setting up at LaMarchand Mansion on weekends. I just believe that it is largely fine as is. The...

Is this number in fact true? They are only paying $48,000 a year? Since they are leasing, no property taxes on top of that then? Just want to make sure there is something I'm not missing here.

I personally think they should just ditch the bike lane altogether, which allows for wider roads. There isn't much traffic here, and travels at a low speed. Everyone can get along safely here without a bike lane, and 2 lanes of traffic and parking can be maintained for vehicles. If this...

Fair, but this is a discussion board, and sometimes side conversations flow from a development. It's not always practical to have active discussion on a small side topic in another forum, so items like this are interesting and seem fine, as long as they don't linger on for days. Maybe the mods...

Would it be reasonable for this one to be topped out in the late fall, or is that a tad optimistic?

Completely up to you how you want to categorize. With multi-phase developments, future phases are far from a guarantee. I think it makes a lot more sense from an organizational perspective to have them as 'Complete' as opposed to 'Construction,' and simply update them to 'construction' after...

Hi, Status on Station Pointe should be changed from 'Construction' to 'Complete' as construction has been complete for a while, and the building is occupied. https://edmonton.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/station-pointe.33246/ Status on The Vermillion should be changed from 'Construction' to...

I've found in the past that it's probably better to leave construction projects that haven't started in "pre-construction," and those that have started and halted to "on-hold." This is just for the matter of it hard to be consistent to determine which projects are still moving towards...

As of a couple days ago, I noticed they are still excavating, and are maybe 2 levels deep.

There was never poker at Grand Villa. At Baccarat Casino in the past there was. You may be thinking of a table game where you play against the house, but there hasn't been an actual poker table at Grand Villa.

You are 50% correct, and 50% wrong. There is a high stakes area upstairs, while there is not a poker room.

Honestly, roads are great. I'd hope we'd expand our transportation network even more extensively (probably even at the expense of sidewalks or bike lanes in many areas). A lot of the areas where they expand non-automobile areas of space end up being under utilized and generally don't make areas...

There should be an announcement pretty soon (within a couple weeks) for a new tower. I don't see a public release yet so don't want to divulge any details.
