How realistic is it, outside of those properties that were approved, to zone land park space in an ARP and sap the land value out of the nose creek area?U of C students propose plans for Nose Creek Valley park | Watch News Videos Online

The MGA requires all land to provide 10% as municipal reserve upon subdivision, so there is that option. Or, we could designate it as part space, but we just need to be ready to pay, as per a recent SCC decision:

SCC rules that case on whether Halifax is effectively expropriating developer's land can go to trial
There are enough questions on whether actions amount to 'constructive taking'

Went for a float down the Bow yesterday, and I was surprised at how much garbage I saw in the water. Mostly looked like batt insulation, wonder if someone was dumping construction debris. Really hope not.

This area is fantastic. There is even a little kiosk serving coffee+pastries open most of the time.
The existing washrooms are adequate, but maybe not operable in the winter? If that isn't the issue then I would say there are probably other places without current washrooms that could use this more, but hard to complain here! Hopefully they replace the shitters beside the nice new playground at Edworthy Park soon, too - those ones can really stink and waft over to the playground.

Speaking of quality park space over dry grass fields...
This is great. My son and I used to ride our bikes down 2nd street, and it's surprising what a pain it was having to use the detour. Not so much for me, but from a safety standpoint for my son, the detour wasn't good. It really makes me appreciate what we have for 2nd street.

Does anyone know what the plan is for the north shore of the elbow river in mission? They have cleared out a ton of bushes and brush over the past couple weeks, its completely opened up now.
Could be a really nice little urban beach area

Not sure if this is the exact location you mean but I think they are doing bridge rehab at 4th Street and the bridge will be closed for like 6 months, so perhaps it's prep for that?

Thats what i thought at first, until i went past and was able to have a look, it seems they've cleared much further than what would be necessary for the bridge work. But i might be wrong.
This is the area:
Heres how it looks:

I assume they're going to work on the retaining wall.
