Coopertown expansion beyond current phase. It looks like they are planning to set aside space for an interchange at Fairway Road, though it will likely just be traffic lights. All the 9th Ave N intersections from Pasqua westward have space allocated for interchanges. I hope they twin 9th Ave N and put lights at Fairway sooner than later. I've seen many close calls there (people driving in the oncoming traffic lane to pass someone turning right) and it can be difficult to turn left onto 9th N when a lot of traffic is coming off the bypass.
Looks like a lot more Medium Density, which is what we are seeing everywhere. Also, the Neighbourhood Hub is looking a lot more like Major Arterial Commercial.
The Farmer's Market is moving/staying downtown. I don't know if this is a final decision or they will do the RFP for a "permanent" location. Staying downtown at the plaza or on Scarth is nice though.
Mostly shots near downtown. I took a few videos that I still need to edit and upload. All the dirt that was used to temporarily fill in the creek in AE Wilson Park last summer was moved over to the McCarthy pumping station. They cleaned up part of the contaminated area while running new pipes to the pumping station and need to spread new top soil. There is still more contamination that needs to be cleaned up if the city plans to revive the dog park plan (its funding was diverted to the aquatic center).
Total permits for the Riffel Highschool expansion are up to about 2.5 million between this year and last December. I noticed it last week when I was driving along McCarthy. 2 stories of structural steel with a staircase. I should get a few photos this weekend.
