That may be true but I don't think he needed to run for city council to make the legislature a reality. First he is NDP and your chances are pretty good to win. He was also chairman of the Edmonton public school board and a few notable members of that party made the leap to provincial politics from there such as Sarah Hoffman.

But no doubt, he is more 'engaged' and active on the provincial scene and comments regularly on provincial matters.

His grandstanding makes me think he is trying to lay the ground to jump into provincial politics at the right moment. Yes, he could have run provincially before, but I don't think he wants to if there is a chance of only being in opposition.

In contrast, Hoffman ran for the NDP before they were in government and has stuck with them even after they became the opposition. There are many things a provincial government can do that a municipal one can not, but if your real interest is provincial politics, you probably should just skip the municipal step.

Wait! First time we’re seeing pics? How have we missed progress this far along into construction? I didn’t even think they broke ground yet? Makes me wonder if Belgravia is already fully completed? lol

 

[IanO]

Belgravia is next.

It’s actually kind of shocking how big this site is.

I bet this one gonna have a self erecting crane like the University ave project they just wrapped up
It looks like they just jumped right into foundation works for this one

Also that streets is going to be completely unrecognizable, that whole block was torn up and there's only like one house left

Westrich staring this AND Belgravia 114 st is awesome

Not sure if this is related to what @Marcolangzi is referring to, but there is a new Rezoning Application for the little shopping centre with the Circle K/Off Campus/BMO.

No further information that I could find at this time.

Things definitely seem to be heating up in WP.

This area never made sense to me as SFH enclave next to the University, well maybe it made sense in the 1950's or 1960's. Especially the area near the main roads and closer to the University.

This probably strengthens an argument for 87ave transit bridge to connect west and south central. The density around this street is jumping significantly east of the river and soon to be west of it too.

Yes, this is another Green Space Alliance application for a new Westrich project.

It is a complex Tower project requiring three applications.

1. CN to MU zone on the BMO site
2. North-south alley closure and its relocation further north
3. RS to MUN on the two SFD lots across the alley

Since this is not a direct control rezoning, we don't have the building desire yet, just its massing. A good precedent would be the Ultima in downtown.
