I guess you could call it 'greenspace' but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

They've actually done a pretty good job. People should also realize that between the Jim Pattison building and RCMP E-Division building there will be more medical buildings constructed in the coming years. The surface parking for JP will be put under ground and a few more buildings built there.

And as I said I think they did a good job with the RCMP building. They've built a new path that circles from 100th ave around and behind the RCMP building along the security fence line then rounds down to the new intersection at 96th Ave and Green Timbers. We've jogged it a few times now and it makes it easier to make a circle around Green Timbers while remaining "in the trees."
