^ Very conventional (and that is OK, but just OK). I would like to see more thought related to unseen future opportunities. The Norman Rockwell version of "the family" still captures our imagination. The reality, however, is more dynamic -- we should be looking forward instead of backward in terms of degree. The bucolic sense of the scene misses an extreme amount of possibility.
 
Oh how fleeting those idyllic winter days are before the snow becomes brown or melts. We are sort of having this today, with our recent snowfall where it is warm enough to go out and enjoy but not so warm as to become very slushy.

However, unfortunately we seldom seem to have the number of people out on as in the pictures because we still mostly develop for a suburban car focused environment. Put half as many people in and twice as many cars and it would be more realistic.
 
The West 240 has a lot of promise and is an amazing opportunity to bring some new housing to central Edmonton. I for one, am looking forward to seeing these parcels developed bringing significant income to the UofA and in parallel providing a new mixed use community to the edge of South Campas.
