Same with the Freshco that just opened in West Hillhurst, prices are in line with larger FreshCo, with really no convenience premium. With the smaller footprint and stocking the highest sales items probably helps to increase the sales/sqft to make up for the rent differences.

Is it still there? No civil engineer but wouldn't there be some water concerns with the slope directing water directly to the base of the two towers?

I passed by a few of the upgraded MAX stops, now they'll have to go in and replace all the signage that said "301 BRT". It's not just the post, the horizontal signs say the stop then in small letters at the bottom says "301 BRT". This kind of waste drives me crazy. It's just so simple to have...

It's probably a lot of misinformation and reading comments online you'd think Central Memorial Park is like Kowloon city 2.0. If the buildout matches these renders then it might be "somewhat" urban, but in reality, it's going to get value engineered down, they'll add more parking to every...

While I do like some variety, it is interesting there's so many developers trying to advertise walkable, urban living, in these far suburbs, where you will most likely still be driving your car daily. While we already have urban/walkable communities located in our cities today. A townhouse in...

Don't frequent the area but I think they re-did the McDonalds next door to basically remove all seating, wonder if that has helped clean up the area a bit.

They mentioned $150M in short term synergies growing to $400M annually. I'm sure office space is probably a small portion of that "savings".

I don't believe any system that isn't gated can count trips, unless they're using number of tickets purchased/activated, which obviously run into the fare evasion problem. I can see gated systems and account-based systems like the TTC being able to count trips pretty accurately, but most US LRT...

Didn't they just sign up for more conversions? Seems odd they'd sign up for more when this took so, so long.

So applied to the coal mining case, if the gov opens all of AB to coal mining and makes the land worth less, that's not a problem, but they can't remove the function of coal mining from the land by making it a protected space?

I never owned a property in Toronto but with the recent condo crash, the owners don't even get the benefit of lower property taxes? Does this open the government to lawsuits? Like how Alberta got sued for coal mining policy changes, and same with the Greenbelt in Ontario. I don't think they...

It's also not getting any better. Being such a nice place to retire means lots of retiree with lots of wealth, low incomes, and high public services usage. The ~5% more of BC's population that are seniors compared to AB is about 265k people, that's like Red Deer + Lethbridge + Airdrie of purely...

There definitely should be wider rezoning efforts, but the prices for developable land is already paid. Those near transit stations, amenities, and will now sit empty until the market improves. I do find it amazing that Toronto's property taxes are based on 2016 assessments. Assessments don't...

If the picture moved north a little, most of Kensington would be covered in green boxes too!

I did utilize the free parking lot, but it wasn't on Google Maps, so I think a lot of people don't know about it. I'm pretty sure for the sidewalk expansion, the city took back some of it's ROW and brought the properties on 33/34 to the property line. Similar work is being done on 19th next...

Having rode some of these in Toronto and Asia, electric busses are great, so much quieter. I wonder if they'll have gas heaters so the battery isn't spent heating up the bus so much.

I think a distance based fare would also help with walking/biking vs transit. It seems odd that taking the train from downtown to Sunnyside is the same as taking it to Tuscany, which means people are likely going to resist taking it one stop and just walk. I think part of the savings for fewer...

II think the reason businesses use Hillhurst instead of West Hillhurst is people not from the area would think it's the area West of Crowchild, which is also West Hillhurst, as the community is split by a highway. I did find that pretty crazy. I'm not sure if that's just a Fresh Co requirement...

Agreed on renaming to names. Although some like 17th, I think has been so ingrained that it's probably better to keep it 17th. And some streets like 1st Ave NE in the Bridgeland area, why can't it be named Bridgeland Ave?

The names used for the general area were Dairy Lane, and West Hillhurst used to be Grand Trunk and Upper Hillhurst and Parkdale Happyland. I think the it'll probably be West Nineteenth or Hillhurst. When Crave moved, they said they were moving from Kensington to Hillhurst, even though those two...
