Noticed new signs for +15, and they also have added more sign directing street level exits. Things getting more blue…

I'm thinking this may be utility work actually, they have the bike lane and a lane of 12th closed this morning and are digging up the road.

Don't know if it was mentioned here yet, but about half of the Eau Claire Market site is going to be a temporary gravel parking lot. Ugh.
"Temporary"
It will be bookended by the gravel parking on the edge of Century Gardens on the West side. Though that at least is much smaller.

At least the gravel lot is only marginally worse than the mall that was there previously.

I hope they don't stop there - there are all sorts of buildings along the river pathway they could rip down to put "temporary" gravel parking lots on. The first two or three blocks towards the river should be gravel parking lots with no landscaping or temporary sidewalks.
This should make for a lovely place for people to do drugs in and check door handles. This is completely acceptable - and the downtown strategy team is crushing it.

How many years is temporary in the view of the City and/or developer? How many temporary parking lots are there in the downtown core and how many years have they been such?

Such a joke. Everyone knows damn well nothing will be built there for at least a decade based on all the other proposals that are out there. The mall and condos were 100x better than this. The poor people who got evicted from their nice little riverside condos must be furious. Lose their house for a parking lot…..

Would be a great spot for a market.

I agree. I would be livid if I were in that situation. The city better activate the heck out of that area to keep crime and stuff from creeping in!
I hope the city can take another run at this, but this time develop an overall plan to work it into the LRT station, once it's confirmed elevated or U/G, and then do what they did with EV or Midfield heights where they divide up the area into smaller parcels and sell to individual developers.

Is there any residential development underway yet at Midfield Heights?

It’s too bad they didn’t do all of 8th street and do Stephen Ave later.
Nothing yet, just some submitted DPs.
