I can corroborate that this will indeed be a CT via a friend at CT.It will be a very large (largest in Western Canada I believe) Canadian Tire, and associated gas bar and one other pad retail site I think.
It doesn't look like the DP is approved yet (says it is still under review):That site is big enough to accomidate several big box stores. I can't find any site plan online.
That place was under construction last summer. Probably a combination of supply issues, and covid, etc.. but some projects seem to be taking forever.
Possibly more retail, but more residential planned thereTwo more construction photos. There is a lot of work happening directly north of the Trinity hills site. I think it’s more retail and shopping going in.

So I saw some workers at this site today. Don't know if it means much, but interesting nonetheless.
Annoying to see it take so long, but that happens and at least it's being resolved. Interesting that someone from the Ramsay community association says this:Speaking of the Inglewood bridge...
As if there isn't a functioning vehicle bypass bridge and brand new pedestrian bridge 100m north of this."It's ridiculous. We have no way to get to Inglewood, except one connection point only at this point."
I think what they might be referring (but not made clear in the article) to is the closure of 8th Street SE and the river pathway connections from Ramsay north to Inglewood. It's a fairly big detour because both pathways were severed on the east and west banks of the Elbow. There is only one remaining crossing at the 11 Street SE underpass.Annoying to see it take so long, but that happens and at least it's being resolved.
