Nice. Replacing an existing parking lot by the looks of the rendering:

To be replaced by another parking lot at the old location once it is torn down?

To be replaced by another parking lot at the old location once it is torn down?

Should we say “effectively guaranteed”?

East/NE: 17th Ave SE and Marlborough area have lots of the right bones - good job access, established rapid transit but the area is affordable and demand pressure isn't high. Someone might know better, but the recent changes to the AVPA might have triggered some owners along 36 Ave NE to be able to do a bunch more with their land next time they redevelop. I see lots of potential structurally in the area, but economics won't let it happen yet. This could change quite quickly one day but who knows?

The AVPA changes have very little impact on the 36th St corridor -- it's in the same noise contour before and after. I believe the height restrictions due to flight path are more important; if my understanding is correct (2% slope), then buildings would be limited to roughly 35m at McKnight, 60m at 32nd Ave, 95m at 16th Ave and 130m at Memorial.

A Land Use Redesignation from 2019 finally has a CPC meeting scheduled for April 22. It's near the corner of 14th ST & 17th Ave SW. Right now it's a McDonald's parking lot and drive thru.

This is a project submitted by IBI Group and is not The Sentinel project by Arlington Group.

It is the McDonalds land use redesignation that is trying to enshrine a drive through access onto 17th Avenue. It already went to CPC back in February I think, where CPC sent it back to work with administration (who recommended refusal) to try and see if a better solution could be found. We will see what they came up with when the agenda is published. Below is the post from the first time it went to CPC.

Another one going to CPC next week is the land use redesignation for the McDonalds on 17th Ave SW. They want a direct control bylaw, that enshrines the drivethrough access to 17th Avenue. Administration is recommending refusal:

While this is just land use, the applicant submission has some renderings of what the redeveloped McDonalds would look like:

A new DP on 33rd street, across the street from Westbrook:

DMAP

This is right next to the land use application submitted by Truman recently. No renderings, but I have heard 7 stories, zero parking micro units.

New ambitious plan for downtown Airdrie. Looks like big improvement in the renderings.

Saw a Systemic Architecture sign at the old Humpty's on 25th Ave across from Erlton/Stampede LRT Station today.

Looks like a repurpose, project info on Systemic's website.

That's awesome! Airdrie has the most underwhelming downtown I can think of!

I like it. There's potential to do something good with that main drag.

This is gonna cause a full-blown uprising in a town like Airdrie. Expect the truck-nut-dangling, trump-flag-flying moron crowd to be out in full force over this travesty of thoughtful urban design!

Traffic circles, bike lanes, grass medians and single travel lanes. Ya, that’s going to go over well.

A DP for Bridgeland, right along Edmonton Trail on a smaller lot. Nice scale, with new retail and a dwelling unit.
