The Corona Hotel was replaced by the Corona LRT station entrance and the First Edmonton Place building.

Derp, hence the name Corona Station

There were two buildings, the original Corona Hotel and the larger one that replaced it after it burned down, IMO both beautiful buildings.
I could be wrong, but I believe the original was a bit further east partly where the parking lot is now and the replacement more where First Edmonton Place and the LRT station is now.

Such a difference!!
I wish they'd retained the centre median and didn't add as many lanes... Building transit and adding 2 extra lanes each way seems a bit counterintuitive to me...

Property values must have increased significantly since the station was built.

Late to the party with this one but why in god’s name did we lose this bus lane? I was but a child when they removed it so I have no recollection of that and I always thought it was unfortunate but just a fact of space constraints that the 109 st bus lane doesn’t go down the hill… so hard to defend this city sometimes

Such a small thing makes a huge difference. I drove this almost daily, and it's made nearly no difference in my daily commute since it's been gone. Let's turn more unnecessary roads into green space.

We live a block away and use that SUP all. the. time. It's made cycling in the area that much nicer and any added greenery is always a good thing.
