We have one underground station on the LRT, but that's it. It's kinda funny, 2 stations closer to downtown is our only elevated station lol.

In English it's said the other way around... si ça te manque, the proper way to say it is that you miss it, not the reverse. Just FYI

Unless you did mean to say that the Mtl subway s'ennuie de toi now that you've moved away from the area... if so you have a pretty high opinion of yourself as a special passenger

Pretty much what I was going to say. This could almost pass for Montreal.

I agree just for the area in the foreground. In the area just to the left, out of frame, it is quite a lovely walk, and one of the streets has a nice Italian popup market (or something like that?) on some weekends. I will get some photos of downtown Edmonton this weekend.

That's kind of the point of the whole arena district. In 5 years this area should be full of pedestrian activity.
