The bricks were used to build the Tegler Manor in Grandin.

I imagine it’s going to be greatly used during Folk Fest.

Already within a short distance: - Holy Child - Oliver School - St Joseph - St Catherine Plus McKernan school is a quick LRT ride away.

Yes, the Legislature Annex Building, which was torn down a couple of years ago. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/demolition-begins-for-alberta-s-historic-and-problem-plagued-legislature-annex-building-1.6250918...

Yeah, so not really the area in question.

There used to be a Dairy Queen next door and there used to be a McDonald's where Serenity Condos are now.

I want to say 104 St downtown. It is very pedestrian friendly, while still leaving room for cars. The cars move slowly and aren't very intrusive, making it also a fairly safe area for cyclists. The only thing missing on the street itself is transit, but technically it intersects with 2 and...

You know we're starved of actual developments when a mere massing exercise becomes the hottest new thread and blossoms to 3 pages in 24hrs.

Basically if Gronk is a patron, we can't touch the strip mall

I know, that's why I said I know why (but good to share for those who don't know)

That's good. It just seems like such an odd fit for them. I know why they haven't gone to Southgate or Kingsway but the environment at those malls better suits them. It feels like Simons is the one major tether Londonderry has to relevancy. Yes it has other things but it's the only thing...

I wonder how much Simons regrets investing here...

Not 3 OMGs, Ian

Just call it Boyle-McCauley, as it hovers on the border between the two communities and that hyphenated name is already in use in the community.

Also even if there is an effect on traffic, it only lasts as long as construction. Granted it would take some time, but it's either something that's disruptive for a few years or something that's disruptive forever.

Having a train underground instead of at grade, where it will cause issues for cross-traffic and potentially be bogged down by traffic is a downgrade in quality. I don't know why you're so against a tube, aside from $$$. You're right that, even if underground, an LRT may still not be the...

You're not getting that I realize it isn't cheap. My point is that, yes, Edmonton can just choose to be cheap like it always does, but the best solution for Whyte Ave would be an underground tube. Whether or not that happens is up to the future, but it doesn't change that it's the best. It is...

Ok talk to Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Montreal with tunnels currently being built for rapid transit and/or having recently completed new tunnelled sections. I'm aware of BRT plans @fromyeg and I think it's fine as a temporary measure but realistically this corridor deserves LRT and it...

Why? It isn't too costly for other cities, nor was it previously too costly for Edmonton. If Downtown and the UofA can be justified for having an underground tube, so can Whyte. It is the only place besides Oliver/124 St that is in a similar point in this city where it's so obviously the best...

To be fair, the ideal is a subway under Whyte similar to Jasper.
