I mean, most of them DO have ETS close. But yeah, LRT would be more ideal.

Meadows and Lewis Farms? I only see bus stops with 2-3 routes nearby?

And 20-30 minute bus connections from the nearby LRTs that are only 5-10min drives away.

I.E. we literally make transit unusable vs driving.

I’m a 14min drive to the new Lewis farms rec centre. If the LRT was a direct connection it’d be 20mins on the train from my house. With the bus transfer required due to poor planning, it becomes 35mins (not accounting for waiting for a transfer to a bus that might be 10-15mins away…).

No one will take the LRT to the rec centre unless they don’t have a car. So frustrating we can’t get the simplest thing right.

Which is absurd given the intent to create low-carbon, highly accessible transit and public amenities.

As I have suggested before the SE leg should extend to the Meadows rec centre down 23 ave.

100%. And the west has to go to the rec centre and secord. Just wild they couldn’t get those included in massive build outs.

The Capital Tower rehab project has new signage up, as it’ll be known as ‘The SunRise’.

I'm really curious how this is going to turn out, but I can't help but brace for trauma.

I don’t remember anymore for sure, but I think I heard Avenue Living bought this. Hopefully they do a good job not just on the Reno, but attracting decent tenants and maintaining the building. Would be nice to have positive foot traffic in the area.

On paper, this should be a very popular location for students and workers. In between royal alex, downtown, and macewan

I think the size of the podium windows have been downsized from rendering.

The mural will be a welcome addition.

Came across this gem the other day and it is one of those 'wish it had happened' projects.

Where is this sorry? 104st? Where McKenzie was proposed? That’s still one of the proposals I’m most sad about not happening.

^No. Parking lot south of Great West Saddlery, north of Armstrong Block. Owned by Melcor.

^Such a missed opportunity for a mixed use building.

Yeah it's a bad location. Glad Dub is the architect though. The building should be nice for what it is.

Driving east along Kingsway toward 101st, I noticed that the entire block on the east side of 101st just north of the Kingsway intersection has been cleared down to the wood. Any info on what's going on there?
