The old car dealership and all that concrete/empty parking on south side at 115-116st is also sad. Abandoned and sad

With the O'daymin park and area void being filled, I think this stretch of Jasper between 117 Street and 111 Street is now the most underutilized area in the city. So many Surface parking lots and strip malls with the densest neighbourhood in the city stradling either side. Unfortunately, I don't think the public realm upgrades to Jasper do much to move the needle for development.

I should point out that one of the car dealership buildings is now home to Revolution Cycle, which moved from the west end a couple of years ago. Otherwise, the rest of the car dealership land between 114 and 116 St is in dire need of redevelopment.

Now how about that big parking lot in front of the Edmonton General Hospital? Or that parking lot on the NE corner of Jasper Ave/116 St?

In the district plan, the Edmonton General is marked for park/open space if it ever gets redeveloped. Maybe the city could do a partial expropriation of that parking lot to expedite things.
