Crosstown | 88m | 30s | Anthem

DP has just been submitted for Phase 1 of Anthem's lands over in Erlton. A simple but handsome design (IMO), and the shadow study suggests future phases will be another 6 storey building followed by a highrise:

Assuming (hoping) that facade is brick, consider me a fan.

Having said that, this is the type of building and location that would be perfect if each building had a cornershop integrated. Don't need to line it with CRU's...just one per corner for something like a bodega/coffeeshop/pub.

It is indeed brick! Agree re: CRUs - I wonder if the two later buildings might incorporate some retail? They might be waiting until they have more doors in the overall development to allow the retail a better chance at success.

The city did a study for that intersection years ago, did it just die in purgatory like so many other studies they do an we pay for?

Project update​

The final short- and long-term recommendations were presented to Council for approval on May 28, 2018. Council approved the implementation of the short-term recommendations as funding comes available. They directed Administration to re-evaluate the Transit Oriented Development potential for all the long-term concepts once:
  • Flood mitigation measures are in place and a new floodway zone has been identified; and/or
  • New land use and development information is available for the Erlton Station area.
A final long-term design will be selected once we have the additional information referenced above.

Short-term improvements​

The final plan is a long-term plan that is not anticipated to be implemented for more than 20 years. Due to the long-term nature of the final plan, short-term solutions to some of the identified issues were explored. In the short-term we could make the following improvements:

  • Install traffic signals with newer technology at Macleod Trail and 25 Avenue S.
  • Construct a pathway along the east side of Macleod Trail to improve connectivity between the Elbow River Pathway and Reader Rock Garden.
  • Re-grade the pathway between Macleod Trail and the LRT tracks to improve floodwater conveyance in the area.
  • Improve eastbound traffic flow on 25 Avenue S. by re-assigning one traffic lane from a shared through/right to a dedicated right-turn lane (eastbound to southbound).
  • Reduce the speed limit on Macleod Trail to 50 km/hr in the study area, to improve the pedestrian environment.
 
I’ve been walking through that area since I was a little kid to go to Repsol and nothing has been built.

Is this finally happening lmao because I’m a fully grown adult now.
