That doesn't look like a lot of right-of-way space on 17th for pedestrians. Also a few trees would be nice.

This looks much better than the first design. I'm totally down with the spacemen sculpture

I like the scale, has a bit of a west coast US vibe to it. Would like to see more 3-8 story mixed-used down all of our main streets.

Only thing that concerns me is the on-site trailer signalling this won't be starting construction anytime soon. Unless the trailer is adjacent to construction?

It’s hard to tell from the rendering, but the space does look narrower than what’s there now. Having that wall of glass with retail cozied up against 17th is a good trade off tho.

The city has a minimum setback for sidewalks on 17th, this would be required to meet that. If anyone has some time to kill, the info should be in the land-use by-law on the city's website.

I don't know the exact dimension (and don't have time right now to look it up), but picture what is in front of The George further west. That is a new build on 17th, so same rules apply here I think.

There was a article in the news about Arlington having a vision for 17th ave to become a "high street" something like St. Catherine street in Montreal, so I'm quite satisfied with their vision but seeing how its going to be executed piece by piece is the crucial part. I personally like the little public art that is included in the renderings plus i really hope the next building to be demolished is the one on the left in that rendering (the slanted/angled looking one), like what a ugly building.

I actually really like that one I think it's kinda funky and different. I'll bet the places inside are incredible.

That new render is a significant improvement. I like how it makes use of 5th street, but it looks a little tight on 17th. I'm also a little surprised that the city would butcher that left hand turn so badly, but I can't say I'd be against all the added patio space.

The public art looks a little phoned it. What's it supposed to be representative of? I like public art, but man if all we get is weak pop-art and boiler plate abstraction we might as well not do it at all. It's all in the eye of the behold, but this proposal is unremarkable.

Sales centre to open on site in mid September. I think this one could be similar to the George on 17th Avenue, between 8 & 9 St. So far that's our best residential building on 17th Avenue and is hopefully the beginning of a trend to pedestrian-prioritized urban design.

I hope ASI agrees with you, they have the leverage over 17th now as I think they have 7 or 8 developments in the works for those 40+ sites they amassed.

We need to fill in the gaps on 17th ave.

Definitely, but it needs to be done well, this is our premier street.

 

[Beltline_B]

Agree. It’s too bad the ASI projects weren’t in places where there are empty lots.
