I don't think we have a full list yet for the Superstore North development. In that one, Swiss Chalet/Harvey's opened right after Christmas and I think Montana's is open there too. There's also Pet Valu. Scotiabank is coming.

Harvey's was a major disappointment. I was so excited for it, but it's barely above McDonald's level quality.

Wow you're being kind. The time I had Harvey's I'd have ranked it last, just below hospital cafeteria. I could taste the sawdust in my burger I think.

The onion rings were okay.

I stopped at the east Home Depot location a few times and it was just greased up garbage. It was a welcome change to see Subway take the location over.

Sorry when I said Joe Fresh, I thought you were talking about the Golden mile Superstore re-development.

At Eastgate Crossing, it looks like it is mostly leased. I believe there will be 2 banks, including a ScotiaBank. Also a Famoso and possibly a Canadian Brewhouse.

It looks like there are several restaurants.

Definitely another Canadian Brewhouse. The other bank is TD.

Nice, thanks Stormer and BD2

I was hoping that the city was going to set the the curb back a bit behind golden mile to allow for a proper bus stop area during this redevelopment but I am guessing the city isn't going to utilize this perfect time during demolition to do this?

Yeah that would be nice...but that would require investment in transit.

So the city is supposed to delete the sidewalk and make it a parking spot for buses? Would peopel just hop down into the buses off of the retaining wall that holds up the parkinglot/driveway behind the mall? I am failing to see how this 'terminal' is even possible.

There was a loading dock on the back side before with ample room to back in. I am sure they will position it in the same fashion when the build the new store.

Well, Golks, they could take away a portion of the road behind the mall and add on to the road. They could redesign the back portion of the mall that pertains to the buses section. Many options could be designed and figured out. Obviously there would be a sidewalk for people to stand on. They could also move the bus spot altogether and move it to another part of the property like south of the golden mile.

Geez, are they ripping down the Agribition Building??!!! Damn. If so, then I feel very old! I remember when it opened.

No it is covered by the picture in the site plan. Also you can see it in right side of the picture.

I wish there was a like button for this.

To be quite honest, the efficiency of the bus exchange will decrease due to the lack of any entrances built for people on that side of the redeveloped mall, unfortunately. I would imagine a large portion of Superstores patrons are literally within walking distance, and because these patrons don't need use a vehicle, would actually benefit people driving to the mall as there would inevitably be more parking stall time allotted to people from further away. Which would obviously benefit Superstore, as it would be so easy to accommodate all kinds of customers on this block.

This is a deplorable use of the space that be, and extremely poor planning practices were put into place with this redevelopment. A simple hallway cutting alongside the store to the front, or a secondary entrance would make all the difference. This would at least keep some active uses present on the 'back side' of the mall, and provide a more user friendly, and convenient experience for people who take transit.

This is an international and university student hotspot after-all.
