There is room for a 3 car window cashier setup for a Starbucks or MacD. Up the hill drive right into the signage lane, go to window 1,2 or 3 grab your coffee and carbs and turn right east bound on Jasper. 🤪

Working next to it for the past decade - the park isn't heavily used. There's an entire river valley on the other side of the hotel. I'm not opposed to developing this at all.

I'm definitely opposed to developing it.

The Hotel Mac is an iconic building that needs to be displayed from Jasper Ave in all its glory. I simply don't understand why there's this dire need to hide it with some new building. Are you ashamed of the Hotel Mac, or what? Why don't they erect this new building where it is sorely needed, such as the NW corner of Jasper Ave/99 St?

How about the 30 other parking lots, dirt lots, or gravel lots? Or all the old and run down buildings? Let’s get all of those in line before a park that beautifully fronts one of our greatest architectural gems and which has some of the largest trees in all of our downtown.

Two different needs/experiences.

We need more high quality green spaces for lunches, photos, residents, visitors in and around our Downtown.

As mentioned, let's retain this and work on the 47943874389^n gravel lots first.
 
I have very mixed feelings on this one. The small park is very nice, although not used that much and I agree it provides a good view to/from Jasper Ave of the hotel.

So it is fine if it is kept as is. There is no urgent need to do anything with it, but it also would be a very appropriate location to build something, such a nice new building.

Yes I'm ashamed of it.
