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 walked thru the rest of the mall. Despite the LRT ridership, it's still the same old shops and the same old empty CRUs. Mind you, trying to walk between the LRT stop and the mall entrance is rather inconvenient.

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.
