Major projects built in the past 30 yrs. that I've generally LIKED and not opposed:

* Polo Park 2nd level (1986)
* CPT (1990)
* Bishop-Pembina interchange upgrade (1990)
* Manitoba Hydro Tower (2000s)
* That cafeteria bldg. at Assiniboine Park
* Redone Duck Pond at Assiniboin Park
* Grant Park Shopping Centre upgrade (1989)
* TD Centre (1991)
* "new" PSB building (2016)
* The original The Forks area, not the overdeveloped vers. we have today
* The 10 storey apt. building on Tache (2006)
St. Vital Centre expansion (1986), not mid 2000s expansion.
* Transit Terminals, not the $30 M Osborne Station.

I'm not anti-development. I just don't want development to be "stupid".
