Max Yellow isn't a faster option han the 13, 22 or 7 for large portions of Marda Loop. Maybe faster in terms of time on the bus, but not in overall trip. I checked the various transit options from my house to my office on 3rd Avenue at this very minute. Max Yellow would take 40 minutes. Route...

"Game changer"

Finally checked out Bar Rocca last night in Elizabeth Square. It's like you're in another city.

Leonard Development Group's latest work on 34th avenue. Going to look amazing when done.

There's progress, but it's slow. I just want to see one of the developments on this intersection actually seen through to completion.

Do I like the Gresham Block and would like to see it preserved? Yes. Do I like this development? Also yes.

Hopefully any demoltion doesn't add additional road closures. It's a complete shit show in that area right now.

I'm finding that 34th is becoming the pedestrian oriented street while 33rd is the "thoroughfare", largely due to the willingness to renovate the existing homes into small businesses.

There was remediation done for weeks to remove all that over the winter. It's a moo point now as demolition started back up and the apartment building is fully demolished now. The strip mall remains up.

The next phase of Marda Loop Main Streets construction begins today. 34 Ave will be closed between 19 - 21 St and 20 St will be closed between 33 - 35 Ave for the next 10 weeks. They are also removing the curb extension on 34 Ave that was just put in. Going to be a shit show but from what I...

The 2 story apartment bulding has remained half demolished for the last 10 days or so with no activity any time I walk by (which is almost daily). Not sure what's going on.

Demo on the bilding above is underway

We could actually use a donair place in Marda Loop....

That is why I try to stick to the soccer threads on CP...

Pile driver was on site when I walked by at lunch time. Nothing has been demoed.

Not exactly a construction update, more of a validation of the recent work Leonard Development Group has done in Marda Loop. Bella's patio was full and there was a 30 minute lineup to get a sandwich at Bonjour. Consistent stream of people. Marda Loop Brewing's patio was full as well. Starting...

Step 1: Buy land Step 2: Kick out all tenants Step 3: Tear down existing buildings Step 4: Do nothing Step 5: Wait some more to get that sweet sweet land value increase Step 6: Finally start to build Step 7: Pause partway through due to cold weather Step 8: Do not start again Step 9: Wait some...

Has......anything happened in the last 6 weeks....?

Saffron Bistro is moving to 17th Ave, below where Green Chili is (according to the note on their door). Bummer, loved their stuff. Opportunity for an Indian restaurant to move in elsewhere and have the whole neighbourhood to themselves!

This is why the work Leonard Development Group is doing in the area is so valuable. They are keeping the quirkyness in the area in the midst of gentrification and an influx of chains. And many, although not all, of the small businesses are thriving. Slow Burn Books, Le Comptoir, Avitus, Bonjour...
