Sinatra's is very good pizza

I hope they don't stop there - there are all sorts of buildings along the river pathway they could rip down to put "temporary" gravel parking lots on. The first two or three blocks towards the river should be gravel parking lots with no landscaping or temporary sidewalks. This should make for a...

Literally fits the LAP height, maybe we just need a functioning Land Use Bylaw so this can be approveable. So dumb

4-storey building usually. Can only park and build the building economically if the lot is a min 120ft deep. Or else you typically need two more stories to offset the cost of a second layer of parkade

Good development shame about the asphalt parking lot. Seems like a good place for more affordable housing

I like the design, just really don't like the materials and colours chosen. To provide constructive criticism, I think it could be really good and still hang on to that mid-century vibe it is giving off. I'm guessing it is a whole lot of Hardie Panel and aluminum trims as drawn. For the front...

Who did the railings for this one? They seem nicer than the typical Mclean’s railings in town. Want to find nicer ones more similar to what I’d see elsewhere without it costing way too much.

I only just looked at the Plan Views for these. What in the world were they doing with all of the intersection designs? 14 Ave is re-designed as a 2-way street with 1 lane for vehicle travel and a parking lane on each side. At every intersection they could have chosen to shorten the pedestrian...

If they stacked the modular units shortly after that, without adding the elevator and stairwells up to 6 storeys prior to the modular units being placed, how are they doing the stairswells and elevator shafts after the modular units are erected. Interested in how this works

Could be! The reveals looked like colour-matched Easy Trim, but not having exposed fasteners makes me think this couldve been Hardie Panels and Easy Trim with something like a sub-girt rainscreen system if that is what they used, or you could be right that that it is a metal panel system. Will...

I toured this development and good lord is the execution ever good. The integration of the drainage systems is the best i have seen anywhere, really nailed the details in every aspect as well. Kudos to whoever did the Carisbrooke development it was very good work...

I dont understand what they are doing with that corner. The bike lane goes up a ramp, over a depression for pedestrians to get to asphalt level and over a curb wall to run into another curb wall, if you ride in a straight line. Someone needs to explain how this is better than the temporary bike...

All good, but go look at the concrete work at the corner of this development, it doesnt work with the bike lane and mustve been a mistake. Will grab a pic, if someone else who is closer cant get one first. Youll immediately see what I mean

It is, but it doesn't actually have a whole lot of retail there that you would use consistently if you lived by. I live near here now and I end up having to walk into Montgomery, Kensington or up to Market Mall or UD for most things. It is kind of like a Britannia, but with way less options...
