I also wouldn't call it "massive" but that's one way for them to get clicks, I suppose.

That’ll give us 5 more than YYC! 5 vs. 0.

The one in Strathcona County already announced or one in Edmonton?

If it's a $65 million fieldhouse being announced Monday, it's got to be for the one Sherwood Park.

There are several projects that are moving forward that have my heart atwitter and my inner eye aglow -- Maclab's Parks, Qualico's Stationlands, ICE district, Falcon I and II, and Strathcona Hat project (all multi-building complexes); and the unique downtown campus buildouts for both NorQuest and MacU; and the completion of Winspear Addition.

I drove by this lot yesterday (4802 118 avenue) and noticed there's and excavator on site and the ground is all dug up. Looks like this Amnor Group - 118 Ave Retail Development is getting started. Nothing spectacular, but it'll be good for this area to have some new retail. There was once a gas station here, but this lot has been vacant for at least 2 decades IIRC. It was remediated a couple years ago.
Another empty lot on 118 avenue bites the dust

The city should really have urban design standards preventing parking from being located at the front of buildings on major roads.
Every city in the lower mainland manages to do it, so it shouldn't be too hard

It's unfortunate that what should be a mainstreet, 118Ave, is converting to this.

Agreed, and I'm not asking a lot, I can live with bland design if it's not a high value location. Just take this exact same design, and put the parking behind the building and scoot the building up to the sidewalk. EZ.

The one that was announced. They have contractors now.

So easy, and should be required. But I imagine in that case we'd end up with a dead streetfront anyway as they'd put doors in the back so people who park don't have to, *gasp*, walk around the building to get in, and businesses wouldn't want to monitor/secure 2 doors and would close up the front.

Yup, I think that's exactly what happened with these two shops on 102ave/109stSo easy, and should be required. But I imagine in that case we'd end up with a dead streetfront anyway as they'd put doors in the back so people who park don't have to, *gasp*, walk around the building to get in, and businesses wouldn't want to monitor/secure 2 doors and would close up the front.
