It sounds like ECCO on 24th Street SE is ceasing operations at that site soon. From an article on a pile of garbage at the site... News to me

The company also said it still has provincial approval to operate its separate landfill at the site until June 2027. Despite this, ECCO said it is no longer operating the landfill, and is co-operating with a city request to stop accepting landfill material and begin capping and closing the site.

McDougall said the company's long-term vision for the site is to support transit-oriented development around the planned Green Line, whose alignment crosses the existing site. The plan aims to completely remove the landfill mound and return the land to a natural state. "The Green Line comes here. It's our plan to eliminate all material and cease operations to make way for much-needed residential development," he said.

We've seen a lot of residential development talked about for this area but little of it has actually been realized. Interesting that there's another parcel that will be available.

This section of the Green Line will be interesting to watch, frView attachment 735166om the Imperial lands near Ogden Road, to the old Curling Rink in Ogden and the numerous empty fields around here, in the long term, the Green Line could pull some decent ridership from the area.

Edit, so I looked at the DMAP. There's a condo development proposed for where the trailer park is... DP2025-02706

Interesting. Over a decade ago Quarry Park featured maps in the Cardel showhomes listing the landfill as 'future natural park space'. I have noticed the mountain at Ecco does appear to be shrinking. It no longer blocks the view of DT travelling north on Deerfoot. Are they accelerating the reclamation timeline? I thought it was going to take decades for them to recycle all of the material in the landfill?

Also, they planted a bunch of trees in the ROW for the train next to 24th years ago which I found strange. When I asked my contact (they are a client) about them she shrugged.

They keep building them and I keep drifting on them. These are race courses not viable streets with a decent public realm.

Mobility Eng - keep building me full blown race tracks out of what should be normal streets - and I’ll keep using them as such.

I am certain that not one mobility "engineer" at the city has the faintest clue what "design speed" is
 
DP has been submitted for the Ranchmans site. Devereaux is developer, and the general layout (lowrises surrounding a central courtyard) reminds me of their project at MacLeod and Heritage. This one is a whopper, with an eventual 470 units! Architect is Number 10 Architectural Group. Exciting to see so much development happening or proposed along MacLeod Tr.

From the image on the right, and the outline of the Land Use, it looks like this includes the parking and storage accessed off Horton Road. Also no DP on DMAP... just a DP for Ranchman's Stampede Tent.

Something like this at Macleod and Heritage or even Bow Trail and 14th Street would make be great.

For Macleod/Heritage I think they should grade-separate the rail only (put the tracks in a trench), tear down that stupid overpass, and make the roads meet at a standard flat intersection (it works for Southland, so why not for Heritage?). It would be better for pedestrians, better for land values, and would unlock so much land for development.

I’d love to see something like this heading west on 16th Ave N just after Deerfoot. Tunnel the TCH under a true urban boulevard until the tunnel daylights again around Crowchild.
