As someone who lives a block from here and bikes extensively, this was a huge positive game changer for us!

A good first step -- now pedestrianize and wheelie-form the Low Level Bridge.

I wish they would make some further improvements to that intersection.

Yeah, that's the thing - people turning right rarely look if there's anyone on the path. The worst one is the bigger intersection by Bellamy, Rossdale, and 103 St. Those are iffy at best since the lane closest to you will stop if they see you but the same cannot be said for the further lanes. We've also found that a lot of people now cut through the neighbourhood via 101 St from 97 Ave to Rossdale Road and I keep forgetting to call the city about it because they zoom through with little regard for the fact that it's a quiet residential area with plenty of dog walkers and cyclists.

Queen Mark Park has changed quite a bit in the past 15 years. One of the more underrated areas of the City IMO.

Architecturally, none of these six-story buildings is remarkable or even particularly good. But the street-level feel is really nice, and there are a lot of nice, unique shops around.

Yes, it is good to see what was an area of small, old commercial and warehouse buildings become a decent more dense residential area.

Definitely making big improvements. Still feels like a few more key projects need to happen and some rundown buildings replaced, but very close to being one of our best dense areas.
That massive 3 building project on 113st and 105ave will help a lot. Sucks that 104ave is such a wall. Brewery district design is so bad for integrating QMP and Whikwentowin.

Here's a perfectly suited article to this thread on NAIT -- past, present and future...

Finished in 1963, structure was a shining example of modernist architecture

Although I will not argue that this looks so much better overall, I am still having a hard time forgiving the City for allowing the design on the left because A. it blocked the view to the historical train station and B. the main floor CRUs are bland, boring, and hard to reach because of the barrier.

Ideally we need more connectors to make it easy to get to the places east of Gateway and south of Whyte Avenue

CRUs the market did not need, might I add. Such a horrific urban design.

Travel around Whyte Ave has historically been and remains mainly east-west and west-east. While it is admirable and beneficial to try create more north south activity, it has to be well designed and compelling to work.
Unfortunately, this and even some more recent development around here hasn't been.
