One Edmonton resident knew the bus station, and noted that the city’s downtown is rife with this kind of urban blight, including homeless people and tent cities. “Public transit is unsafe, this is where this video was recorded. You can’t get into the downtown high-rise businesses without being...

If it helps I was there last night and the height of the fountain is the same in the photo previously provided. One nice touch is it now lit up with LEDs for different colours.

Yes the rainbow Park in Vancouver has had issues simply google rainbow Park Vancouver Yale town and you will see them. Issues with homeless people issues with vandalism issues with parties occurring at the park issues with equipment that had to been replaced. These are very different beasts and...

I wonder how many millions of dollars the city spends on upkeep. I wonder how much is wasted removing graffiti, fixing broken street furniture, picking up garbage strewn all over the place, repairing damaged bus shelters and fixing all the damage from all the other sorts of vandalism we see in...

I worked at that theater and was working that day. My manager made me skip school. I was in grade 11. That sure was a fun summer working there during Return of the Jedi. Sold out shows for months. 😀😀😀

Not to be disrespectful but why do you consider it lame? It brings workers and people into that vast wasteland of that part of downtown.

I went for a walk downtown tonight between 8 PM and 10 PM. I started on 109th St. and made my way to 99th St. and walked up and down between 103rd Ave. and Jasper Avenue. I am pleased to report that the graffiti on the old Birks building on 104 Street Has been cleaned up. It was of course very...

I saw Billy Idol and Platinum Blonde at the Kinsman Fieldhouse in 1984. Boy those 40 years go by fast 😆😆

I’m not sure. I also had issues at seeing the photos that were posted today but they all seem to be fixed now. Perhaps it was a problem with the site.

One more thing. I think that little wedge between 136 Street and 139 St. between 102 Avenue and stony plain road should also be fair game to more dense development as it will be close to the future LRT station. And I don’t believe in that little pocket there are many true heritage homes.

I grew up in Glenora. I went to Glenora school and Westminster junior high. I believe the part of Glenora south of stony plain road should be protected. I have seen several homes, beautiful old homes, replaced by new monstrosities (see 132 street as an example). We don’t have a lot of heritage...

As an eternal optimist about our beautiful city I choose to believe the more positive report. 😀

Interesting because according to Avison Young Edmonton had two strong quarters of absorption downtown. Here is the link: https://www.avisonyoung.ca/web/edmonton/office-market-report From the report: What's the scoop? Q4 2023 continued upward momentum In 2023, Edmonton's office market showed...

It is so frustrating and sad and annoying and enraging that such a small group of people can have such a negative effect on the atmosphere of the city. I was at the Cabin on 116 Street on Friday night and some homeless person obviously high on drugs proceeded to empty the garbage can across...

I saw these two new rezoning applications today.

When I was a kid it was JB big boys.

Great news for housing starts in Edmonton December 2023 from CMHC.

It’s a good thing that Edmonton has had 2 quarters of net absorption downtown and in the suburbs. From CBRE.

Well on a positive note for our downtown CBRE reports 158160 ft2 absorbed downtown in 2023 Q4.
