^True. Its getting better now that the finishing touches are almost complete
...but it is still quite banal.

Icon II is really moving.

On another note, Quest is now working on the 5th floor. I also noticed that the retail bays have huge ceiling clearances. I wouldnt doubt that you could add a second level or a loft in each bay.

Spent the day at AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario). I have to say, since the reno, it is the best art gallery in Canada, bar-none! Unreal... I have high hopes for AGA now. It will be significantly smaller, but just as nice. (Yet lacking significantly in collection to that off AGO)

Great pics 240, thanks for doing an update of ICON, it looks not so bad from that angle.

Don't know if it was mentioned before, it (appears) some glass is starting to go on either streetfront level or immediately above on the Professional.

Anyone know why the sidewalk in front of the Devonian is being hoarded off ?

epcor has been there all week digging up stuff there and across the street. In fact, 112 st south of jasper is closed.

Don't expect anything until all the snow is melted. The same thing happened last year too.

^downtown streets are essentially clear dude... as are the brutal looking sidewalks.

Not to mention that they, gasp, could clean them twice........

I need some help, I'm in the process of cataloging all the bridges in the greater Edmonton region. I've identified all the bridges across the North Sask, plus:

142 St bridge
102 st/ Stoney plain rd bridge
82 street bridge

Are there any other notable bridges out there ?

A photothread will be coming soon with a map and pix of all these structures.

whitemud creek @ 23ave

the little (wooden?) one across millcreek ~76ave?
