That is one of the things about our city and its politicians/policies that absolutely baffles me right now. We have hundreds (275 according to a spring 2023 CoE report) of vacant lots downtown, near downtown, Strathcona, existing LRT stops, future LRT/tram stops, Blatchford etc,. that are BEGGING for this type of development and yet we build these things in places like this on the other side of the AHD and and in already thriving and beautiful neighborhoods nowhere near an LRT stop. And then they wonder why we can't fill any of those ugly gravel parking lots, and why Blatchford is developing so slowly and why it is taking so long to establish TODs at LRT stops, etc, etc. It is mind boggling, at least to me.
 
Good thing the Valley Line is being extended to this high density node and neighbouring rec centre….. oh wait…

Unironically one of the biggest oversights from the Valley Line project as a whole. extending VLW to the rec centre would've been a slam dunk for ridership right off the bat and captured many last-mile trips on the LRT (since, yknow, "neighbourhood connector"). Now it's going to be an expensive future project 15+ years down the road 😒

But you can’t expect the city to know the plans of all the groups developing the LRT and rec centre and library and zoning for commercial and high density.

Oh wait. They do all of that and still can’t get it right.
