This thing not getting redeveloped but us looking to build south of 41ave is a problem imo. Can mall redevelopments work without us seeing real estate rise 20%? Is that what it takes?

Reminds me of the Kingsway stop that isn't even close to Kingsway.

I've got an honest question.
Doesn't transit oriented communities really even matter in Edmonton? Most people don't work downtown and if you were to use it to say commute from Clairview to Millwoods it would take twice as long as driving...
What's the upside?

Isn't it frustrating? The city has identified multiple TOD sites and not even Century Park is finished after all these years! Holyrood seems to be scaling back to wood frame. (and ugly ones at that!) Whatever happened to the towers at Mill Woods? Stadium Yards seems to be the exception.
All this population growth and TOD's remain, for the most part, not worthy for the private sector to dive in to. All this anger over infill. Perhaps the city should incentivize TOD sites before ruining mature neighbourhoods with 8plexes.

The market obviously prefers 8 plexes in mature neighbourhoods. Why should the city stop people from buying/renting their desired housing in central areas?

If all the TOD's along the LRT lines get developed, that would be a whole lot of units. Just image how population dense it could be from Bonnie Doon to Strathearn if they would only start building.

I'm not sure if this is really where people prefer to live, but they can be built quickly and turned over to make a fast buck.

I like the exterior entrance, which Tony Roma’s lacked.

It's literally on Kingsway Ave. But if you mean the mall, they wanted nothing to do with an LRT stop.

Especially when these tend to be popping up within walking distance of higher frequency transit.

Literally in the biggest black hole of restaurants in any city on the planet……how many hundreds of square blocks with nothing but a Smittys around

Truth. Imagine the agglomeration economy (remember this word from university lol) that could thrive with restaurants here?
There’s a lot of wealth between Strathearn, Holyrood (my son calls it Hollywood), Bonnie Doon, King Edward, Strathcona, and Idylwylde to support a lot more sit down restaurants.

Especially with the LRT there now, making it a great "lazy" destination to go to. People just need to hop on a train and wait a few stops, versus dealing with traffic and parking, or figuring out the bus system (unless they use it regularly). I think this'll make this location more competitive than similar restaurants for at least a few people near the line.

While it IS lacking, there are a few nice options none the less in the general area on top of the Rickys (not Smittys).
Ragazzi, Duggan's Boundary, Bulgogi House, Sweet Mango. Needs a lot more, and a couple chains would likely help, but there are some gems there too
