I recall sitting in the Mayor's (Iveson) office with Chief McFee and other service providers and literally begging them to get ahead of this in 2019 and it fell on deaf ears.
Great to see things moving in the right direction.

A Chick-Fil-A, a McDonalds or a fast food place in one of those retail bays would be so nice for foot traffic

I'll continue to root for an A&W in the Stantec Tower to commemorate the the Greyhound terminal A&W that was there before ICE District.

That small retail bay between the Liquorstore and Plant Life is perfect for some kind of coffee shop, bubble tea, fast food.

Needs a 40 story rental tower with 300 units.
Plus, idk, a neighborhood of condos behind it.
If only we knew someone with deep pockets and a vested interest in the area…

Why not simply add a filter to the catch basins/drains, add 6" of topsoil and put in sod level with the bottom stair along with some decent planters...
Yes, it would be an annual expense but probably less than what Enbridge spends on their planter beds and probably less than what they spend on their winter ice.
And on a semi-related matter, isn't a large part of that expanse still municipal roadway leased to Ice District and wouldn't that come with some performance criteria that the city could enforce?

We talk about sending messages to the city about their deficiencies but I also encourage sending this exact pic and caption to Tim Shipton of OEG and maybe others here following suit. A respectful, concerning message.
I sent an email.

One of my favorite downtown watering holes!
A watering hole I need to try soon.

A bubble tea place that sells labubus will immediately change and increase the foot traffic demographic of the Ice District lol, for the better too

Honestly, why are we giving these guys another dime for a "fan park" when they can't even activate their main congregation area in the heart of Ice District? A dozen stools picked up at Jysk... good grief. This is just pathetic.

Does anyone know why they don't use the big screens for something more than just advertising. Other than the playoff games, regular season games are never shown on screens.
When Canada is playing an international soccer game, or even games from 2022 and upcoming 2026 World Cup, games should be on. Could be a variety of different sporting events like Summer/Winter Olympics. That might bring more people to those Jysk stools and maybe even the existing outdoor patios.
What was the purpose of those screens?
