Having said this, some of the driving behaviours around rush hour at that 76 Ave and 115 St intersection in Belgravia is absolutely shocking. On multiple occasions during my bike commute home, I've seen people drive in the oncoming lanes when the traffic is at a standstill. That 115 St and University Ave intersection is an absolute gongshow as well around certain times (it only took a week to have an incident there and I now avoid it like the plague - pedestrian crossing here is also quite dicey). I'm not really sure if there is a solution.

Yeah, speaking as a resident of the area, it's an assured daily occurrence. That being said, I don't think commercial space in McKernan/Belgravia is gonna change the habits of people who want to get on the Whitemud faster. I would bet 95% of the congestion is passing through with very little originating in the neighbourhood.

Closing off the University Ave crossing to vehicles would solve alot of the congestion problems in this area.

On the pedestrian side, I wonder if a pedestrian overpass would at all be feasible near the tracks, or somewhere similar to continue on the multiuse path beside the retaining wall. With the apartments being built there, pedestrian traffic will likely increase, and that light takes forever to change.

Mill Creek outdoor pool reopens with a splash after 4 years

Edmonton’s Mill Creek outdoor pool will officially reopen on Monday, but families got a chance to jump in a few days early. “I think it’s really great,” one kid told CityNews Friday. “I think it’s a lot of fun, and I think it’s one of the best pools I’ve been to.” The pool is reopening […]

Great to see, but 4 years for 'The pool is reopening with improved accessibility (zero-depth entry), a water slide, inclusive change rooms and washrooms, and new signage.'?

Indeed, but if this on the plan, why would you have not taken advantage of the opportunity.

Lots of projects didn't et started during covid. Had a couple of pools on hold as well.

For obvious reasons, but that then subsided and there was opportunity that many took advantage of.

2-3 yrs for a pool rehab is ridiculous.

Fountain Park in St Albert was supposed to be 3 years but we found a structural issue that accelerate the work. Ended up at 18 months. However its shut down for a month now for warranty work. And based on what I've read of the work involved 3 years would be close. They basically rebuilt the pool. It would have been faster to just build a whole new one.

Nice looking project immediately north of the field for Strathcona High School.

 

[degrandprix]

It will fill in that space nicely for sure! Though it looks like they haven't reached their funding goals yet?

I believe those signs have been up since last year on that site. Would love to see it built!

Is there an update if a contract has been awarded for the building of the new schools in Edmonton, Public & Catholic? Just curious as there's one to be built close to us but no action on site yet.

Thanks!
