^ did the developer suddenly become allergic to wrap around balconies? What a VE'd downgrade.
You would think they'd be able to figure out how to do wrap-arounds shown in the render given it's being built by Pagnotta and their specialty in concrete. More crap from Gardener - unsurprising.

Anything is better than what is there now
 
A couple of new projects I noticed on my bikeride yesterday!

New midrise building spawned in over the winter on 156th Street, near Glenwood/Sherwood LRT stop:

New cute mixed use building proposed by Beljan in Laurier Heights of all places. Would love to see this actually happen:

Massive cluster housing development near Jasper Place LRT stop. Must be like a 4 -> 32 unit increase in density:

At this point I am less excited about new projects and more excited about architectural gems

Well, it's too bad that Edmonton has mostly architectural stones at the moment. Hopeful that things will improve with time, but I guess I'm allowing myself to enjoy some of what we're getting, at least for a little bit while I explore around on my bike lol.
 
Riverhawks adding the ability to take transit with your ticket + a shuttle from Churchill is a great move for them.
In a world where businesses only ever seem to moan about losing parking, its refreshing to see an organization embrace the idea of urbanism. In my opinion, sports and urbanism go hand-in-hand. A dense crowd of people can be much more efficently moved through a dense areas with plenty of transportation options. Better transportation options can come with density in the area.
This would be a great opportunity to create a baseball-urban environment that's - dare I say - akin to some of the best examples in the US like the area around Fenway and Wrigley.
