A friend sent me some details on that Quadreal site Michael mentioned, near Currie Barracks.

The original proposal from 2018 was 891 units. They now want to double that to around 1800 units. Rutland Park Community Association is opposed.

This is the original outline plan from 2018, expect to see it doubled.

Isn't Rutland Park kind of far away from there, on the other side of MRU?

Rutland Park is against everything anywhere and everywhere always.

Was this announced previously? I feel there was some expansion plans announced a few years ago. Is this in addition to the previous announcements or just a refined scope?

There was something on this a while ago, a few of us were complaining that they are developing the park side not the parking lot side lol.

It was announced but was awaiting funding. Now it is a go

Haha see! I said it about a month ago. Another crane or two in the sky for the downtown area

This is embarrassing, but I had no idea there was a bridge between Lindsay Park and St. Mary's cathedral.

Really? It's the old railway bridge and still has tracks on it. The old train station is the ballet I think, and the old house there was recently renovated but I have no idea what's in it.

If I have been on it, I clearly have no recollection. The part of Mission is one area that I haven't really covered as much as I'd like. But either way, looks like a cool spot that I need to check out.

Good to see this finally start construction. This was primarily to make up for the closure of the Beltline and Inglewood pools. Downtown is definitely in need of some public recreation investments after the closure of the pools and the YMCA.

the YMCA in Eau Claire is being renovated to and will be open as Eau Claire athletic club. But its membership is expensive.
