That block of Dawson from Gilmore to Madison is a very lengthy block that needs a crossing or two inbetween. It is especially so in order to slow down car speed on that road as it’s often used to bypass Lougheed. You have businesses and dense condos on both side of that block of Dawson which means more pedestrians and other so on. More of those wide sidewalks should be mandatory and the default for those built-up areas. Probably could reduce it from 4 lanes to 3 with the middle being turning lanes for both sides. Put in a bike lane to prepare for it to link up with Grosvenor Brentwood Block when it’s ready.
Also the sidewalk is very unsettling, it only feels comfortable to walk in the centre. For some reason, it's angled down, then up, then down again so there's drains in the middle of the sidewalk.
Yeah, I had thought it would be a courtyard with a Phase 2 to the north, but no word on another phase.
FYI the area directly north of the new lane is part of the Honda dealership lot and as far as I know there aren't any redevelopment plans for that property.

Thanks.
I think that's the only one that didn't move down to the Still Creek area?
Small summer followup on this development. The oil canning seems like a permanent feature. It's a shame, it looks pretty bad to me even though the rest of the design tends to draw the eye away. Click the image for larger version.
