I'm really hoping they can get some vines growing on those concrete pillars like in the one rendering.

I'll do ya better than cryptic posts, this is the person he is referring to:

A completely political move, it furthers the narrative that it is him versus the rest of council and he will defend neighbourhoods from the evil developers. He got his quote/soundbite of "Inglewood is not for sale" in there too. It will play very well for his supporters and folks that don't...

Looks like they may push this through today, instead of waiting for the resumption of council in September.

Photos are good, but it does look really nice in person. Definitely worth checking out once it's all done.

Amazing that the one guy thought the CBD only had 20 years of commercial capacity left. Here we are 39 years later with so many vacant spots/parking lots that can still be developed in the commercial core.

While neat to think about possibilities I can't help but think the "fix is in" for Crescent Road, she's staying gigantic SFH's.

One plus to this parkade being built now is hopefully it can make a case for no surface parking near the new arena. This is a relatively close spot to it.

Well they must have been listening to me, as of this morning there is signage up now for the Bow Cycle location. :)

I think you definitely need a concrete time frame on the LRT station to get more sales in the development (quick University access). On the plus side there should be practically no opposition to this regarding heights and density, it's surrounded by large roads and no residential near it at all.

Some updates on the Northland Mall redevelopment proposal:

While I don't see the temporary rubber hose ones on this page, you can view the other counters around the city here: http://www.eco-public.com/ParcPublic/?id=4190#

It would be nice to get some signage up on the riverwalk side, would break up the facade in a good way I think. While not a huge building it is kind of monolithic.

The crane came down at Annex in Sunnyside yesterday.

Oh yes, that is excellent news that they are starting some initial site prep at that address.
