The geese really control that hood right now. I was driving through a few weeks back, and they had all set up camp on the lanes of one of the roundabouts and they seemed very burdened to be asked to move out of my way.

They're funny! When I approach them, they'll walk a few steps to the side in one big herd, but then walk toward me hissing. I just beg them to make up their minds; are you moving, or standing your ground?! haha

I had similar experience with the bison at Elk Island. Not sure which I'm more cautious of.

Yes, except for the fact that Elk Island has had 7 dead bisons this year due to car incursions. It is so busy with the "Fed Free Pass," and not obeying the speed limits.

Folks - we've got a rezoning application coming for about half of the Blatchford Market area! I hope they can get this one in on a Public Hearing before the election, but that's probably tight...

These are the only details I have, but it looks like they are using the general Mixed Use zone and not a Blatchford specific zone. I think this is good as long as everything is still connected to the district energy system, since the real efficiency of the system comes from having a balance of building types connected.

Potentially a dumb question, but why is MU listed 3 times?

Maybe different height allowances?

 

[fjordgard]

Maybe different height allowances?

Makes sense. Although I hope they don't put too many restrictions on any of the heights there.

 

[fjordgard]

Oh, here we go! Found the answer to why there are 3 MUs.

Where did you find that?

Honestly, mostly just playing around with the City’s maps website on my phone and stumbled on it… here’s a link to the pdf: https://webdocs.edmonton.ca/infraplan/Zoning/bylaws/ApplicationMaps/596953069-002.pdf

Good to know, thanks

Unfortunately there’s very little chance it will, the agendas are packed full.

Townhomes on Lois Argue Road just about all framed

And the extension of Lois Argue Road is coming along nicely
