Thought this was an interesting article. Business park proposal that would relocate Fulton Creek, remove 6,900 trees fails to pass
Notably
Notably
- Admin was in support
- Council split the vote 6-6
- Balance between shrinking tax base of non-residential property vs environmental/ecological stewardship
- Councilor Wright commenting on the lack of consultation with Papachase First Nation (it feels a bit disingenuous for a Councilor to use "lacking Indigenous consultation" as justification for non-support, especially when there's not even really much formal/informal precedent for it being required to begin with)
- Approval would require amendments to the zoning bylaw, the Maple Ridge Area Structure Plan, the North Saskatchewan River Valley Area Redevelopment Plan and the Southeast District Plan.

Good. The idea that they could move the creek without compromising the integrity of the underlying soil and watershed was ridiculous, in my opinion.

It can be done but is expensive.

Not surprising, my observation over the last few years is that the city administration has almost no interest in protecting natural areas despite what they say and city council has little interest.
In this case, at least little was enough.

New housing project for homeless veterans set to open in North Edmonton
A new 40-unit housing project dedicated to homeless veterans is set to open in north Edmonton in the coming months, marking only the second facility of its kind in Canada outside of Ottawa.The project is spearheaded by Veterans’ House Canada, a national organization offering mental health, addiction, and housing support to former military members. The land for the development was donated by the City of Edmonton.

Wasn't sure where to put this but 109 St has so many lots of houses torn down that are ripe for development. I drive it every morning between 76 Ave - Whyte Ave and there are at least 6 lots in that area that have houses torn down with a few more looking like they are ready to be torn down too.
Nice to see the opportunities that are there for the taking.

I really hope we see the first 3 BRT lines roll out by 2030.
If done well with frequent service, dedicated lanes, transit signal priority, nice stations, all door boarding, off board payment, good branding, etc then I could see it being a very positive addition to the transit system and spur development along 109St (as well as other the other areas where BRT would run.)
Here’s hoping.

I haven't taken the bus recently on 109 Street, but I recall years ago it had very good bus service. After the LRT station was built at the University, I believe that was reduced considerably and a lot of the bus service focused there instead.

I believe this is the lot - whereby I posted a 5 storey wood frame jobby was proceeding - received financing in the Winter.....so we can watch for that one to go ahead.

So that fence is gone but the lot to left of it in the map you posted is still fenced.I believe this is the lot - whereby I posted a 5 storey wood frame jobby was proceeding - received financing in the Winter.....so we can watch for that one to go ahead.

Context from Civida.
Background
Located at 11503 – 41 Avenue in the Royal Gardens neighbourhood, Petrolia is owned by the City of Edmonton. Civida managed the Petrolia townhomes property on behalf of the City of Edmonton, which included 12 buildings, with 70-units. Following an assessment of the property in Summer 2022, Civida, in partnership with the City of Edmonton, undertook an investigative process which provided valuable insights.It was determined that the community had reached the end of its useful life. With tenant safety being our priority, the decision was made to re-house tenants to facilitate a thorough evaluation of the complex and further planning. Civida worked with impacted tenants and families, supporting them in moving to alternative housing.
The Plan
Planning has been ongoing, and the City of Edmonton has collaborated with Civida to conduct a feasibility and zoning analysis study to get the site shovel ready for a new and improved affordable housing development.Edmonton City Council approved funding for demolition in the fall 2023 budget adjustment, the first step toward creating new housing for people who need it.
In preparation for the site’s renewal, Civida made every effort to salvage materials from the older buildings for donation and reuse at other properties. With neighborhood safety in mind, windows and doors remained intact until the City of Edmonton could take over the site.
The site is currently being prepared by the City of Edmonton to make way for a new, diversified, affordable housing community.
We remain cognizant of the impact this situation has had on the community. Tenants’ and community well-being remain our priority, and we continue to work diligently to provide safe and affordable homes for Edmontonians. We are committed to keeping the community updated on our plans, as this information becomes available, and appreciate the patience and understanding of the community.

Hard to tell if it's a new announcement or just an announcement to highlight a previous announcement? Given its location I wonder if it is related to the under construction recreation center.
