Downtown Edmonton is moving in the right direction, but very slowly compared to other metros, and I believe that's what his frustration was about. 4,500 units u/c or planned is not bad, but similar sized cities Calgary and Ottawa have twice that number and their downtowns already have more people. When I last visited Edmonton, the downtown felt the same as it did when I lived there 17 years ago, and in some ways feels less busy.
I don't know what the deal is, but for a city that's grown as fast as Edmonton the downtown should be seeing huge changes.
