Looks good Ian! Great graphic! Assuming things go Westrich’s way……shovels in May?

 

[IanO]

While we are hopeful, let's not count our chickens.

 

[MacLac]

Haha! Spoken like a true Politician…lol

Now if someone (the U of A?) could do something about that surface parking lot next to the Butterdome, we could have an excellent contiguous strip on the north side of the street here.

That's where the Clare Drake replacement arena should go, rather than at South Campus, in my humble opinion.

 

[IanO]

100000% if and when or their second rink and then you can rehabilitate Clare and retain it.

 

[David A]

It is pretty bad when private developers are improving the area far more than the U of A. I realize their community commitment was weak at the best of times, but it is horrible now.

It is kind of embarrassing for what should be the leading educational institution in Alberta They need a real kick in the pants to do something more.

Only way I'll support this project vocally is if Westrich builds 3 identical towers in downtown and 124 St

But great work on this. We get another nice little high density node in the area which is great, something that should exist around all our major post-secondary institutions

Ice towers please

Good luck in both respects! I hope council approves your projects today; if anywhere makes sense for density of this scale, it's a spot near a large university and mass transit.

 

[IanO]

Thank you all. There are 49 items on the agenda so likely pushed until Aug 28/29, so still time to submit any letters or if you feel passionate about it to come speak.

Was this discussed today? Was the rezoning passed?

If not today, can someone let us know what happens tomorrow.
