A few photos I took downtown on Wednesday:
This is from 48th Avenue walking from Ross toward the new Canada Games Centre. Some nice new sidewalk and street lights that match those from Alexandre Way.
A lot of work going recently completed on the square in front of old middle school.
You can't tell from my photos - I was wallflowering and didn't get too close - but the whole thing looks terrific.
Except - this is where the weirdness kicks in bigtime - the whole thing is in front of several grotty looking gravel parking lots tucked into one of Red Deer's most challenging neighbourhoods. I think the whole thing is supposed to represent some sort of pedestrian friendly community living room/gathering place, but the surroundings frankly suck.
