    Edmonton | Winspear Centre Completion Project | 29.87m | 4s | Winspear Centre | Andrew Bromberg

    It seems like a slow move at times, but Edmonton (key residents within) work hard to make incremental improvements to the urban fabric -- this is a very good site for the Winspear addition -- I expect that 97th street will blossom within the foreseeable future. We already have Winspear...

    And I have it on good authority @Glenco that you know pansies re your plant identification background -- I only wish that the human kind were annuals as well.

    Legislature Grounds / Centennial Plaza

    What is it about skyrise plebes that they can't wait until a project is finished before opining critiques.

    Arlington Site | ?m | 33s | Kota Contracting | Der+Associates

    Yes, you are right -- we should just leave it as it is for another decade or two (I'm facetious in the a.m.). If proposing a park for the site with the threat of Municipal Expropriation and a few renderings to support a pocket-park with an in-place coffee plus patisserie spot gets the current...

    Commonwealth Stadium

    Most Torontonians have not and care not to visit Edmonton -- to them it is somewhere off the edge of the Flat World.

    ^ we agree! And who do you suppose was responsible for the rat maze designs of modern neighborhoods (all in the name of making them safer (supposedly) for inhabitants? Is that whirring sound Jane Jacobs spinning in her grave?

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    Simply put, the planning for a complete Valley Line: SouthEast to West -- Millwoods to WEM (and beyond). Logistics led to the stopping point for a phased development and 102nd Street/102nd Ave. was the most logical point for that interconnection.

    Edmonton | Blatchford Development | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    Sounds a little autocratic -- it is one of more than a dozen reasons why I dislike urban planning. The best neighborhoods in the world have grown organically or, at a minimum, assisted (and i use that word reluctantly) by municipal governments -- Edmonton's own best example of this is Old...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    ^ Not if that twin 25-storey tower goes ahead on 124th Street and it brings with it some imaginative outcomes.

    Edmonton | The Mezzo | 53.95m | 16s | WestOak Development | RAW Design

    Another Gooch project -- I must say that since his son joined the company there is hope that the level of quality architecture has shot way up. Any renderings o-worthy one and source of all that is behind the scenes -- @Avenuer? (or @Marcolangzi). If an application for a Development permit...

    New Stadium / Arena?

    I think that Edmonton can grow into major league franchises -- an NWSL franchise could presently be had for less than $100 Million and the league has proved to be extremely popular. If Katz (say) could nab a franchise in this league for $70 Million or so and make it the cause célèbre for the...

    Federal Politics

    Yes, Gavin Newsom or Josh Shapiro... both resonate with populist sentiments as well as having brains in their crania (imagine if they were a team!). People will tire of Trump really fast. The sad part is that the more he is criticized the more radical he becomes.
