This should apply to all development, not just residential. What’s the point of having transit access at home if it won’t get you efficiently and reliably to and from work.

Agreed. Our rec centres not having LRT on their doorstep is the most incompetent thing I can imagine. Pisses me off so much that a simple coordination like that can’t be done between departments (no wonder we can’t seem to work with other levels of government or private sector…)

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.
 
'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 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
