Lol sorry, had to add my two cents.

So true and sad really.

"The Parks" is by far the most anticipated development for Edmonton in my books. Design has come a long way in this city and a lot of nice stuff being proposed. But this, if the design does not change, really is unique and beautiful.

Pair that with the new UW park, Shift and the LRT... unrecognizable.

It's one of the first 'major' redevelopment projects right on Jasper east of 109 Street. Given the existing built form on that corner, it will feel vastly different once completed.

This - along with the park - help close a major gap in vibrancy between 106 st and Jasper, to 109 street and Jasper (IMO). The big pieces that needed to be redeveloped are on either side of Audrey's Books.

I can't believe it has taken developers so long in figuring Oliver is a great investment, especially along 124th or across from the Brewery district. Actually anywhere in the Oliver neighbourhood is great, because of the close proximity to shopping, entertainment as well as the river valley parks.

[Coldrsx]

We most definitely need a bunch of new housing/density just east and west of 124st from Jasper-111ave to support and make that retail more viable more hours of the day.

MOTION: M. Figueira
Motion of Non-support
The original concerns of the Committee, and in particular the following, have not
been adequately addressed:
● Concern with the lack of opportunities for seating/gathering along the
proposed walkways within the quad and recommend further consideration;
● Concern with the lack of variation within the green space with respect to
pedestrian accessibility to the quad; and
● Suggest that the overall context of the warehouse district, enhanced year
round use of the space and additional details on the activity, use and
programming be further investigated to provide a design which recognizes
the diversity and inclusivity of students and staff.
It is the continued position of the Committee that the project could have benefitted
from an informal pre-consultation, which could have more clearly communicated
the design evolution of the project.
