I did walk along it recently and I agree they did a good job. However, I think it might also help to put some planters or something closer to the road to provide more of a buffer.

Majority of that discussion was surrounding the Iron Horse Line still to be done south of MKT, which only just saw major improvement to the pedestrian experience after the 2022/23 renewal. Prior to that, there wasn't even a contiguous sidewalk from Whyte along the east side of Gateway... definitely nice to see major improvements to this stretch come to fruition.

One thing I noticed while getting drinks here is that around 50% of vehicle passengers at the stop light are staring at this building.

Add some street planters to shield pedestrians from the traffic. Plant some blood red geraniums in them to accentuate the black siding and the female crowd will be in awe.

Why one shop owner traded a storefront for a shipping container
Gayle Martin took a chance when she switched her Whyte Avenue storefront for a shipping container at Station Park, and, so far, the owner of The Wish List Gifts says she sees both pros and cons to the move.

I really really wanted to like this project, but it just looks terrible jammed right up against the old rail station.
Who did MKT piss off to lose that awesome patio they had?

The transition from the old train station to Beljan's container park is fine with me but the renderings do have a bait and switch element to them. The absence of landscaping along Gateway is a missed opportunity to seamlessly tie the project into Whyte Avenue. Even more so if the east side of Gateway, north of Whyte is developed into a park.

I'd say MKT's patio got even better when the moved it to the south side of the building. They've got some couches / lounge spaces set up, it now wraps along the side of the building as well, and I'd say it's a little quieter (street noise) than the last one. My own experience, anyway.

Let’s hope we can get the planned pedestrian connection at 80th Avenue sooner rather than later.
It would be great to better connect Ritchie and Queen Alexandra, and I’m sure it would benefit Station Park to have everyone in West Ritchie be able to easily walk over.

It cannot come soon enough either given the ridiculousness of that intersection now.
This and a future 76 Avenue should be a priority.

Strathcona Junction rezoning going to EDC on Feb 4, 2025. I imagine it has to do with the proposed crossing.

Heard from more than a few folks that this site is struggling to attract steady traffic which is not unexpected, but here's hoping more folks discover it and keep it active.
