shame if the city plunked down a big ol rock where that gate is.

Reported to 311 (again). Let's shut these clowns down!

I just got a call from the city's development compliance department and they told me they are basically keeping tabs on this property. the owner/parking company have been told to shut the parking lot down but the city doesn't have the resources to check for compliance more than once a week so if any of you see cars parking there, please either call 311 or email developmentcompliance@edmonton.ca. as an aside, i was also told they'd just had a meeting about the BMO/Regency site. No actions have been taken as of yet (that he was able to share) but at least it's on the city's radar.

Thanks for following up on this. I will share your updates with the league (feel free to send me updates as well to civics@decl.org)

Drove by the site this afternoon and all the signs were down. Looks like all that's left is gravel and some metal posts. Well done, team!

Now make them Sell the site

I hope they took an enormous financial bath "developing" that lot for paid parking.

Bylaw likely told them to apply for the new Temporary Parking Permit. This permit has landscaping requirements though and a process for approval, the lot won't be able to stay exactly as it is now.

The parking lot requirements have been fairly publicized, so I would be surprised if the owners were not aware of them before they did this. I suspect they were hoping they could get away with it.

While I really don't want a parking lot here, particularly for a long time, there does seem to be enough demand for parking in the area and at least this lot is cleaned up better now.

So if the owners could just follow the requirements and not ignore them, it could work out.

Would have been nice if they hadn't painted over the mural. That didn't really make sense.

Well I'd say ask the building owners of the building that the mural was painted on why it was painted over.

Signs have all been removed.

The owner is appealing the stop order for the parking lot. The July 23 meeting package can be found here (it doesn't have its own link, sorry).
