I swear the one thing I hate about jet lag is that I'm stuck in the middle of the night thinking of all kinds of ideas and thoughts and no one to talk to them about except for posting on here.

I was just thinking about it, especially with the upcoming residential buildings on this street, will there be an official mid block crosswalk put in place to facilitate movement from the east side of 106 Street to the park?

I believe there will be, you can see it at the end of this video:

The white pavers look nice when brand new. But soon, it will be covered with gum, grit, various spilled fluids etc. It's mind-boggling that urban designers/ planners don't take that into account. Should have gone with something more darker to better hide what will inevitably fall on it.

That's the issue with that... and ALL you have to do is look at Jasper Ave between 100-102.

Yes but consider how good it will look in the design consultant's portfolio.

They probably could've avoided some of the inevitable by inversing the colour pattern.

Reminds me of many parks and green spaces designed to look great from the air but lacking any actual on-the-ground usability. Still, for the moment, it looks fabulous.

puzzled as to why they didn't continue with the colour scheme of the pavers used in the park itself (salmon/beige), you know, pull the whole thing together.

That looks pretty nice, I better get down there to see it in person before it starts getting dirty and then doesn't look so nice.
