Personally, I'm excited for the Old Town Beverly separatist movement.

It WAS about regional planning time for the city to get serious about industrial development. Some industries need access to public transportation as noted on Global news on Tuesday something the city can provide especially if they extend the Capital line NE and/or SW.

Horse Hill and the area up to the airport should be all or mostly industrial, or left ag imo. Time to stop spreading more and more suburbs down south. Shift residential growth to at least 50% or greater in mature areas.
Could also open up opportunities to relocate industrial activity from the Southeastern Industrial Districts to make way for TOD's at the Strathcona Junction (where the HSR / regional rail is most likely terminating) and Davies.

Wow, they collapsed fast. I assumed Knack was right in calling the changes a death knell, but I didn't think it would happen immediately.

Like I said, there is now a rural planning void. Edmonton must act fast to fill that void with annexation. With a much higher proportion of the regional population and new ZBL allowing so much more, Edmonton is much stronger now than it was when CRB/EMRB was founded. Regional towns will learn fast it needed Edmonton much more than Edmonton needed them.

I emailed them to ask if their documents and ArcGis databases will be archived somewhere. There's a treasure trove of info that'd be horrible to lose.

'Bittersweet' end of the EMRB opens door to 'next iteration' of regional partnership
The Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board will wrap operations as of March 31 following a unanimous vote to dissolve the organization at a meeting at the Chateau Louis Hotel & Conference Centre in Edmonton on Jan. 23.

The Edmonton Region has grown by at least half a million people for the time the board has been around.

I'm doing the same - I've seldom needed these maps for work but re-making them would be a huge waste of taxpayer dollars.

This is what they told me:
"We agree that EMRB records have value, and we are currently finalizing a proposal that will go to the Board next month to confirm an official custodian of records, including a transitional web landing page where a number of records/data sources like ArcGIS will continue to be accessible to the public. We are also committed to donating additional physical records/archives to the Provincial Archives of Alberta, where a number of older/historic records related to the CRB/EMRB are held.
Our next Board meeting is scheduled for February 21, and will be livestreamed here"

I suppose anything is possible, but this seems like catastrophizing to me. This could be more likely if there was a recent large annexation or amalgamation of various established cities with their own identities, but almost all of the growth in Edmonton and Calgary has been organic for decades (ie. building in previously undeveloped areas).

Never say never. Margaret Thatcher did it to punish London in the 1980s.

Smith is like Thatcher, except without as much intellectual rigor or consistency, but I suppose if you squint they are similar.
