Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

I wonder if something may also happen on the other side of 37th from this...IIRC the strip mall beside the Shell station has been fenced up for a little while. Great location...except the gas stations on either side and Mr. Lube across the street!

Lots of slow but good density build near Westbrook. Well, everywhere but the LRT station itself
I suppose it’s just matter of time before the station are gets built. This reminds me of the Chinook area

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know what the plan is with 128 7 Ave SE? I've seen a bit of activity (inside the building) over the past few months, but I can't find any info online (not on DMAP).

No idea but I could see that being a cool club

 

[Mountain Man]

Is that the old CUPS location?

I did a google lens search of the mural and found this

Futurist Club

Kinda sounds like a weird cult...

"Carrie Radomski has been a radical life-extension advocate and cryonicist for over 10 years. As the president of The Lifespan Society of BC, she has fought legally for the rights of cryonicists living in BC, Canada"

"Within The Futurist Club, Carrie is building a rapid cryonics Standby, Stabilization and Transport (SST) organization."

Ah, I'm not sure! I'm going to walk by again later and take a photo of the construction permit on the window.

Not the kind of club I was picturing ...

Alberta grant funding: $7M for sports, recreation projects

Looks like the blanket rezoning repeal notice of motion is now official. Seven members of Council are signed on to it, including the mayor. I think going back to the old way instead of tweaking things to address the major concerns is a terrible failure of leadership from all involved, but especially Farkas. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Well if re-zoning failed to fix everything in 10 months then its obviously a failure and needs to go.

Time to out YIMBY the NIMBYs.

Funny how they didn't ascribe support/opposition to the 6100 written submissions.

 

[Mountain Man]

Having every land use go to CPC and Council is definitely not an improvement. Approval before blanket rezoning was something like 95%, but populism and misinformation never mention that.

Don't they need 8 votes for the repeal to pass? Looks like the missing 8th is John Pantazopoulos, who ran on a campaign to repeal blanket rezoning. Wondering why he wasn't a sponsor on this?

It's probably would strengthen the appeal. It's a small percentage of the city that participate but people that spoke at council and wrote in are overwhelmingly against rezoning.
And curious how the Feds respond, or are we done with the Housing Accelerator Fund and now its all Build Canada Homes? I don't think the city would go ahead with repeal if it means losing all the HAF funding which is allocated already.

I recall hearing that they need a 2/3 majority in order to repeal a bylaw, so they might not have the votes and may have to amend rather than repeal.
