This one is worth fighting. I don't want that scammer looking guy to put another empty lot downtown. I don't have faith that he has the backers to build anything here.

And opportunity cost.

I don't think an event center in the CBD can be compared to an arena which had a single tenant. Cultural spaces are important, and Edmonton doesn't have enough of them downtown. OEG will do a good job operating this space, just like how MSG operates Radio City Music Hall in New York. I...

NYC has cameras

How does that work with the city. Is this a unique partnership, or is there a program for such buildings?

I believe there is no parking due to the very close proximity to McKernan/Belgravia station. I'm a huge fan of this kind of development, and I believe it will be more profitable for developers, and more affordable for residents that won't have to subsidize expensive parking despite never using it.

None of the parties would be, but there also isn't a viable Communist party, yet I'm pretty sure my communist buddy likes the NDP. Kinda a none point imo.

I just don't see the appeal for the LPC in Alberta when the NDP and CPC exist. I'm sure it'll appeal to wealthier neo-liberals, but I can't see them attracting the average person when better alternatives exist for the typical split of Albertans. I don't know any centrists in my age group...

The wording of "checkpoints" fans the flames of 15 minute city conspiracy crackpots. Toll roads for revenue is all the city needs. Just like people pay tolls for rail/bus transit, they should pay tolls for auto transit.

I'll ask about it and report back if I hear anything. Most of the people on my floor are owners.

I'm in favour of people entering the city by train. Hopefully the regional plan happens fast.

There is a huge surplus of parking everywhere around here. This is not an issue in any way.

So they can use Edmonton's infrastructure without paying for it. Totally.

Another dead parking lot?

Phase 1 is the only reason I live DT instead of Garneau.

^No disclosure of where the authors live in the city, but I'm gonna guess it's not downtown.

Pretty sure it's actually meth. Over the winter they were allowing the cafeteria area to basically be used as a drop in shelter.

This is good for everyone involved. Needed for the neighbourhood, essentially for vibrancy, it also helps with ending the embarrassment of poor urban environments in Alberta's two major cities. No reason for them to be at each other's throats at this moment.

The urban/rural divide will become a bigger issue for all parties. There seems to be less political interest in leaving people alone, and I've definitely seen resentment towards cities from rural people.

Corona Park?
