Austin Heights area in Coquitlam

Behind the new Safeway - Ridgeway Ave, there are plans to renew this street, the Safeway has 3 CRU's, the new towers will also add retail to the street

There is angle parking in the middle of the street

The old post office, I think there is an application to put up a tower in the 20 storey range

east side of the safeway is where the first tower will go, I heard the plan is to construct the East tower first and then do the west tower.
The pink building to the left is I think an apartment of sorts.

Montreal has the best parks and squares. You can see yourself, after dinner with friends, going for a stroll and sitting on a bench or fountain ledge to while away the evening chatting about shared memories.

I can't really think of anywhere to do that in Toronto.

Some views from the library roof and my apartment (last two pics) in downtown Vancouver. The first pic is the intersection of Georgia and Homer. Construction on three corners and utility work on the library corner.




Vancouver, Oct.8 '19, my pics

Yes, it's been open for about a year now. Great public space.
