As an aside, I was recently in a minor accident at 106 Street and 98 Avenue. Rental vehicle tried to turn left onto 98 Avenue from the RIGHT lane, right into my car.
That section 116 to 117 st was probably the worst of the whole stretch, with terrible sidewalks/asphalt patches and old-timey wood power poles. Great to see it take shape!
Procura won’t ever be developing the land. They lost that right when walked away from the property and their obligations to maintain it.
The property has been expropriated by the city. The city owns it, will demolish it, and put it back on the market to hopefully recoup a bit of taxpayers...
Graffiti on green shack and sidewalks has been removed by Parks Operation already. Mural Festival is working with City to determine best way to remove off the mural.
Sorry not sure the exact streets it will be starting and stopping yet, wasn't given that info. Make sense it would start at 103 Street on the existing bike lane.
Old Epic Food Hall space on 105 Street has a sign for 'The Virsa Mahal', "1st Premium Punjabi Dine-In in Edmonton". They have been doing work inside and even planted some nice flowers outside.
