^ I think your 104 ave idea is a winner if executed correctly with n/s connector lanes on 135, 139, 144, 150, 154, 159, and 163 connecting to 110/109 ave. Bonus that it acts like a traffic calming measure in the neighbourhoods. Maybe that's absolutely insane but like you've mentioned, pretty...

You guys are over thinking it. They're just going to wait till nightshift to spray diesel on it and scrape it off with a skid steer.

^ lets see the clippings

^ paging our resident expert @J_gordo I'm guessing it's an issue of the gantry not being designed to (safely?) function in Edmonton's winter conditions, considering it was originally built for a project in Dubai. Can't imagine it's an issue of joining the precast guideway segments in the cold.

Exactly. Did they identify what is driving construction cost increases, @IanO ? Certainly nobody I know in the trades is making 30-35% higher wage vs last year (most have been making the virtually the same money or LESS since 2014...). Are materials really up 35%+? If so, why? Concerningly...

I need to move tf out of Icon before this spring, 102 closure for 2025 + Beaver Hills/Michael Phair construction is going to make alley access a freakin' absolutely nightmare. And sounds like the Saturday market is then going to have to run at reduced capacity, assuming they'll only have vendors...

The longer this site sits vacant, the more aggravated I get. Nothing like some 🤡s from Toronto evicting a number of small local businesses from their affordable retail spaces on Jasper Avenue, demolishing the buildings, then realizing the economics here don't print money like they do in...

Source? Maybe true for 2022, no way that is accurate for traffic volumes in 2024.

Called the phone number on the sign (MacLab main line), they had no details to give me at this point besides that they were looking at rezoning options and to stay tuned. I think one thing is for certain: MacLab has a vision for this area. If Westrich gets their Riley's site project off the...

This project has seen concerningly little activity lately. Save us @Marcolangzi !!

Crane base in. Very excited to see how this project turns out with integration with the existing pedestrian plaza to the walkway under 114th st.

"e4c's proposed development will include the construction of a purpose-built building that will provide transitional housing units, shelter beds, office and services spaces, a Women's Emergency Accommodation Centre and a Financial Management Hub." Sounds like e4c wants to expand services + move...

I like punching down on Regency as much as anyone but Edgewater walked so Stadium Yards could run.

Do you have more info on that? Been wondering for ages when something is going to move on that site.

I believe you're correct but the way it specifically makes a distinction between paid and free arrivals pick-up is concerning.

I don't particularly understand the focus on trackbed over road on SPR through Glenora.

There's definitely a tinge of irony in how some of the most architecturally interesting buildings constructed by the City in the past decade are all pretty hidden away from plain sight (this project, Capilano Library, EPS HQ, Borden Park Pavilion)
