Genuinely want to become a writer for EJ so I can write about car-centric infrastructure in the EXACT same way they write about public transit and cycling projects. I'll make sure to put the most random anti-car citizen's opinion at the very start of the article, too! "The 132nd Avenue renewal...

Shoot, that's kinda what I was feeling was going on here ☹️ looks very toned down, but hopefully still better than what currently exists

Okay, I did some digging and found this page from Reztark Design Studios showcasing "The Pointe At Clareview", and WOW. This is a really interesting master plan and, while the renders are very shiny and this is probably just a concept, it would be amazing for the station and area to have...

Let put it this way for you: McDavid has to play hockey with a huge hockey stick like everyone else, even though a smaller stick would work better for him to maneuver and work with and is technically allowed. If he tries using a smaller one, though, all the other players and game watchers yell...

Lol I think your comparison is pretty spot on! I will say, what I'll give Canadian suburbs over American ones, for example, is that ours are getting way denser and contain more options for housing. We also have lots of shared-use paths everywhere (often too narrow but still) and some mixed-use...

I really hope so, because up till this point Clareview has been the poster child for "Transit-Adjacent Development". The station is surrounded by parking lots, all the apartments nearby face AWAY from the station, and all the surrounding commercial is just big-box strip malls. The city really...

Well to me, North American auto-centric urban development actively spits in the face of what a city is supposed to be, so that's where my beef comes from. "Suburban" shouldn't mean that all your daily needs are only practically and comfortably accessible with a $10000/year admission price + the...

Wow, this is one I didn't expect to see come back from the dead! I love the scale and I think it'll suit Whyte Ave nicely. Like you said, it's in the early stages of design so the look will most likely become more detailed with time, correct? I can't wait to see the final design, that's for sure 👌

Agreed that these lists are really hard to make? Sure. But that's the thing with giving someone feedback on or asking questions about their hard work: On one hand, you can dish it out in a way that's discouraging and undermines their effort, potentially stopping them from sharing more of their...

Oh really? That's kinda concerning with the amount of density being put here 😭 maybe they'll improve bus connections to the Green Line?

Edmonton guy here. Holy Crap this is a huge project for this suburban neighborhood, but I like it. There's gonna be a Green Line LRT station right near here, correct?

You're kind of being a jerk. He took the time to explain the reasoning behind the ranking and you respond by calling his list idiotic, and the only one being hit in the feels is you cause it's not that serious for everyone else. Just take the list for what it is, a interesting experiment and...

Not me just casually using your list to pick where I want to live in the future 👀 Great job man, the dedication is unreal especially if you actually manage to do India and China haha. How many metrics are being measured now?

Wow, thanks for the info on this! Really cool to hear about the specifics of this process.

This place doesn't look very Trendi to me

This is an urban development nerd forum, not Facebook. I don't like it when people say stupid stuff on here either but like, it's never that serious dude. If you like urban development then check out some of the other threads on here!

100% agree with you. When they're new they look the same but this kind of siding will hold up so much better down the line 😭

On Sundays, 102nd ave might just be the coolest street in the entire city. A farmers market enclosed by two mixed-use buildings is so based, and will definitely bring more people out with all the new businesses around!

Okay, I'm a second-year Urban Planning student so don't take this too seriously lol, but I have learned some things about Alberta Civil Law practices. I believe that both parties in a lawsuit in Alberta need to seek some form of alternative dispute resolution before going to court, whether...

People laugh but I agree with you! If roads like Jasper and 109th can't go on road diets and just need to be traffic sewers, make them traffic sewers with nice wide sidewalks, landscaping separating the road from the pedestrian area, and get rid of parking to increase the flow of traffic and...
