    High Level Bridge

    I've beeb thinking of a better way to keep inattentive truck drivers from getting stuck at the bridge entrance. Instead of the overhead chains that are dangling before the bridge, replace the chains with much lower and strong FIXED metal bar, or even better a concrete crossbar that's as low as...

    Rossdale

    I would think that a national museum of that type would end up in Winnipeg. As I understand it, Winnipeg has one of the largest concentrations of indigenous peoples within a large city.

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    Recently, my flight was one of four domestic flights arriving around the same time and luggage took about an hour.

    Edmonton Branding and Tourism strategy

    Considering the amount of needless handwringing that debated whether the "E" should be curved or straight back way ago (not joking; this was for real), just leave it as-is please.

    Edmonton | Falcon Towers | 170m | 44s | Langham Developments | Arc Studio

    Photoshop that Terrace Building out and then we'll talk!

    Warehouse District Park

    Did they just do a reverse Joni Mitchell?

    Edmonton | Jasper House | 108m | ?s

    It looks like somebody bought a box of miscellaneous Lego bricks and went to town. I think it would improve by sticking to one or two lanes.

    Edmonton | Army & Navy Redevelopment | ?m | 6s | Edgar

    I would certainly have hoped for some midrise multi-res there. It's a big commercial footprint with basement, which I would think would be a challenge to re-tenant. That said, I'm not the purchaser and will wait and see what they envision.

    Edmonton | Manulife Place Renovations | 145.99m | 36s | AIMCo | MdeAS

    As a dyed in the wool western Canadian, this has to be one of the most unpalatable things to happen, i.e. a Quebec-first bank swallowing a Western firm, the last hallmark of a western-based bank. This news will play proudly in Quebec, but in Edmonton and Alberta for that matter, this plays to...

    Edmonton | Scotia Place Reclad | 113.08m | 28s | Kasian

    I miss the original stained glass in the lobby. It made the space feel special.

    General Food & Dining Thread

    Could you expand on that last bit? I don't follow your comment about progressiveness.

    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    The number of times I've looked at Edmonton-Vancouver flights, I'm surprised how much Air Canada has downgraded the planes on that route the last couple of months, at least to my untrained eyes. It appears that they're projecting the same for the fall too. I was looking at fall bookings and it...

    Western Canada Apartment Investment Conference

    No rumours of note, if any unfortunately. There was certainly far more support for woodframe low rise versus concrete mid or high rises. In terms of new players from elsewhere, the general theme was that new players, some from BC and several from back east, were certainly interested in Calgary...

    Western Canada Apartment Investment Conference

    The conference was generally interesting. I was taken aback by one comment made during a panel discussion. I won't name names, but someone in the C-suite of a well-established development group admitted that he hadn't heard anything about Calgary's office to residential conversion program until...

    Roads to Avoid

    Believe it or not, I vaguely remember the transportation guy’s name, John Schnabeglar or some such last name spelled something like that. It was back in the 70s. He was responsible for a number of questionable road network decisions back in the day, which I now can’t recall.

    Roads to Avoid

    If bringing visitors into the downtown from the south, avoid the low level bridge and the road that goes up to the Hotel Mac. I was shocked to see and feel the condition of both. They don't put the best face forward.

    Western Canada Apartment Investment Conference

    Anybody on the forum looking to attend this event in early May? https://informaconnect.com/western-canada-apartment-investment-conference/ I've got my registration completed. I'll be the guy in the back just listening and absorbing. Hopefully it will be informative. Regretfully, I won't be...
