Should disguise them as palm trees.

I'd hate to see the telecom agreement(s) for those between the telecom company(ies) and the building owner.
 
Thought this was an interesting article. Business park proposal that would relocate Fulton Creek, remove 6,900 trees fails to pass


Notably
  • Admin was in support
  • Council split the vote 6-6
  • Balance between shrinking tax base of non-residential property vs environmental/ecological stewardship
  • Councilor Wright commenting on the lack of consultation with Papachase First Nation (it feels a bit disingenuous for a Councilor to use "lacking Indigenous consultation" as justification for non-support, especially when there's not even really much formal/informal precedent for it being required to begin with)
  • Approval would require amendments to the zoning bylaw, the Maple Ridge Area Structure Plan, the North Saskatchewan River Valley Area Redevelopment Plan and the Southeast District Plan.

Good. The idea that they could move the creek without compromising the integrity of the underlying soil and watershed was ridiculous, in my opinion.

Not surprising, my observation over the last few years is that the city administration has almost no interest in protecting natural areas despite what they say and city council has little interest.

In this case, at least little was enough.
 

New housing project for homeless veterans set to open in North Edmonton
​

A new 40-unit housing project dedicated to homeless veterans is set to open in north Edmonton in the coming months, marking only the second facility of its kind in Canada outside of Ottawa.

The project is spearheaded by Veterans’ House Canada, a national organization offering mental health, addiction, and housing support to former military members. The land for the development was donated by the City of Edmonton.
 
Wasn't sure where to put this but 109 St has so many lots of houses torn down that are ripe for development. I drive it every morning between 76 Ave - Whyte Ave and there are at least 6 lots in that area that have houses torn down with a few more looking like they are ready to be torn down too.

Nice to see the opportunities that are there for the taking.

I really hope we see the first 3 BRT lines roll out by 2030.

If done well with frequent service, dedicated lanes, transit signal priority, nice stations, all door boarding, off board payment, good branding, etc then I could see it being a very positive addition to the transit system and spur development along 109St (as well as other the other areas where BRT would run.)

Here’s hoping.
 
I haven't taken the bus recently on 109 Street, but I recall years ago it had very good bus service. After the LRT station was built at the University, I believe that was reduced considerably and a lot of the bus service focused there instead.
