I won't let that happen.

^Like Arlington site, needs to make complaint to Bylaw via 311.

Holt's does this pop-up every year.

^Talked to some of the consultants from Montreal on Saturday. They said in Montreal there's a big picnic culture, they wanted to recreate/encourage that in the new park. Creating small moments in the park that encourage you to stay or explore. Also you'll notice in the drone footage how busy...

Yes, time will tell. The park is likely under warranty for at least a year, so after that will be good to see how Parks Operation maintains (or doesn't) the park, especially if trees or bushes die. But overall I want to be optimistic, given the streetscaping and private development planned for...

Checked out Zymo yesterday. Good service, food is fairly tasty. Only tried some salads and their pizzas though. They have a varied menu, dinner had a few interesting specials including octopus.

This redevelopment was considered a 'parkade' not temporary surface parking. It's not ideal by any stretch.

Concrete barriers are temporary. Reminder that they still have to do streetscaping at both ends of 107 Street next year. Security is likely temporary during the week of programming. There will be an attendant at the pavilion all hours that it is open. Every second person that talks to them asks...

FYI, the park sign is the new standard for all parks signs in the city. (Green and blue)

Hearing Hillside Estates (Tower North and South) condo board has voted to sell the building to a company that intends to renovate into rentals. Apparently they have been courted for about 2 years, and things are not good financially with the whole parkade renovation debacle.

I'm hoping Loblaws can last until some of Phase II is done. Once Stationlands pedway is done and Switch II gets going could help as well. Reminder that there's 1 hour free parking in the parkade as well.

^Asked them as well for irrigation given hot summers, but they didn't go for it. Other prairie cities have irrigation in their parks.

Hearing CBRE has the listing from the bankruptcy trustee, will be up Q1 2026.

Underscores needing to change a few Operations things (Downtown, BIAs etc): - Street cleaning needs to happen a month earlier, and end a month later. - Planting flowers needs to also happen sooner and not be removed until end of September (they fortunately waited this year so maybe that's a...

I plan to go soon to try it out.

Don't worry, programming all week and it's supposed to be 12C on monday!
