    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Modal filtering should be used DT alot more in response.

    Mixed-Use Tower | 75m | 24s | Healthcare Properties Holdings Ltd. | Kasian

    I can't help but think this building would be better placed by the MacEwan station. This spot has no restaurants, poor access to groceries, the transit connections are far At least it'll kill some surface parking.

    Edmonton | ICE District Phase 2 | 149.95m | ?s | ICE District Prop.

    Everything they've been involved with besides Levi's Stadium has been great. I'm sure it'll turn out well.

    Edmonton | Stantec Tower | 250.84m | 66s | ICE District Prop.

    The food court is too big and should be repurposed for something else. You think they'd piggy back off the Arena events in some way, but nope. Hopefully the floor plate can be cut through and the lower level can be integrated with a portion of the current food court. There is a balcony which...

    LRT Safety

    EPS is so terrible at their job.

    Municipal Politics

    All Cartmell had to do to win was have somewhat decent opinions on land use reform and transit like Knack does. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Capital Line LRT

    There is nothing stopping the city from procuring trains which are rated for 120+ kmh, and building the airport leg's OCS system accordingly. It just needs to be planned, and would have to begin with this Rotem order.

    Capital Line LRT

    I'm still more in favour of adding spur lines to the Capital Line and Valley Line next. The airport needs to happen, but all other extensions should be central and affordable. Beverly, 124th, Whyte, Michener Park. The Gondola should also be a part of the central transit plan. Council is so dumb...

    Capital Line LRT

    At least the provincial government is talking about it for the first time in my life.

    Downtown Real Estate

    Sounds similar to a new downtown parking lot.

    Miscellaneous

    From 2 dwellings to 38.

    Transportation Safety and Vision Zero

    EPS doing their jobs for once.

    Student Housing Accelerator

    I don't think the building looks bad at all. The issue with the Quarters is that it's currently worse than nothing. Unless a developer buys a large majority of it and master plans, the risk is huge for each development. Who would want to take the risk when a gravel lot next door is going to...

    Downtown

    Donya has horrible hours. I live DT and haven't had a chance to make it yet because of this.

    Edmonton | Rogers Place | ?m | ?s | Katz Group | HOK

    Should at least be 95% + complete, and in the testing phase by that point. Ice district needs a Le Germain and an Alt.

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    It's far better than the Whitemud crossing on the VLSE. The exit ramp looks like it'll be designed to function as a through-fare rather than a true right turn. Hopefully it's intuitive that you can't turn right on red here. Still, I'd prefer crossing gates and much faster trams.

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I'm not hearing anything definitive from people in the know. The change order would be about $500k-1,000,000. A lot of people involved want them. I think they're wasting the money on the gates at the OMF.
  18. B

    Westmount Mall Redevelopment

    I'm not understanding why these mall owners aren't selling portions of their lots to developers. Most of them have a grocery anchor which would see a boost from 300-500 people living in 2-3 towers. The peak parking is only on a few days for the entire year, and a place like Southgate has LRT...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I still don't know for sure about the existence of crossing gates at the Anthony Henday exit on 87th Ave. I'm hoping they end up installed to prevent right hand turns on red. There is a set of gates at the Lewis Farms park and ride where it crosses the north/south tracks. That whole stretch...

    Edmonton | 103 Avenue & 123 Street | ?m | ?s | Averton

    Averton has been getting into the rental market with their Midtown project in St.Albert. It would be nice to see some family sized rental townhomes here.
