Tower Crane going up in St Albert today, just south of Giroux Road and east of Ray Gibbons. I seek to recall a large high-rise planned for this area.

Cidex has proposed building two towers (16 and 20 floors).

Yup! Yet it fails to be mentioned on their website?

Those will be noticeable in St Al. Especially on that end of town. Just wished they had done something more central.

Alberta Construction Association released an information bulletin about Contract A provisions disappearing from the procurement process, and more recently from municipal procurement. The ACA claims the removal of “Contract A” increases risk for contractors.

Spruce Grove city council approved three changes to its land use bylaw in July. Two changes are in the Copperhaven neighbourhood to allow low to medium-density residential structures. The other change is in the Legacy Park neighbourhood to allow medium to high-density residential structures.

The edge of St Albert is a bad spot for 2 15-20 story towers. Dense housing is great but only in environments that suite it.

With massive intersections like that aren't going away anytime soon, I'd almost want to suggest some pedestrian overpasses.

You could spend the large amount of money needed to build pedestrian over passes, but that still wouldn’t solve the fundamental problem to it being a non walkable neighbourhood which is the fact that things are just physically really far apart.

The strip malls are also generally not walkable. There’s a bike path near that intersection which could connect pedestrians and cyclists.

Crossing a large street that takes maybe 20 seconds is a problem for walkability? Just not buying it.

I'd say it's more about the issue of our stupid drivers and the overall hostility towards pedestrians, because heaven forbid, you have to wait a few more seconds to slow down or even stop for a pedestrian.

There's an application out on this corner lot near Stadium; 11226 82 St. 2-3 CRUs and a Drive Through.
There's no signage, has anybody heard anything? Though when I looked up the applicant I think it's the same company that did the little whatever stripmall on the site just north of it.
I was really hoping to see something mixed use on this site especially.
