Alpine Park I ?m I ?s I Dream Development

So the first commercial project in the 'Village Centre' consists mostly of:
  • Gas station with drive-through carwash
  • Drive-through A&W
  • Drive-through Starbucks
  • Drive-through bank
  • Drive-through restaurant (hopefully McDonald's -- there's been one announced, but it's not in the DP plans, so that would be one extra drive through).
That feels exactly like "a vibrant hub where day-to-day convenience meets walkable charm". Walkable is doing a lot of work; I suppose Mt. Everest is climbable, if you try hard enough and don't mind the omnipresent risk of death.

I suppose the counter is that this is the 'convenience district', which maybe a suburban location like this has to have, and it's good to put all the car crap in one spot so the actual core of the village centre can be better; the counter-counter is that the village centre is a one-way couplet that has traffic entering free-flowing from a 130 km/h freeway.

I'm pretty sure the province still designs their freeways for 130 km/h; certainly feels like that's what people drive it at.

Regardless of what designed for its 100k/h. Let’s try and keep to some facts.
On top of that, access to Alpine off of Stoney is no different than any other community near it or anywhere else.

Shake off the city? For a project that prides itself on being urban in the suburbs, this is a strange and anti-urban thing to say.

Lol so true, so are they shaking off that part of the city? Which is 80's/90's power centre next to suburbia with some but really minimal multi-family. I guess this could be a change from that but honestly this isn't exactly an "Alpine" park. So this marketing is just them flexing in the mirror for no one to see.
 
Its also not as urban vibe as i thought it would be. But maybe im judging it too much based on the first phase which is lots of sfhs even if they are densenly packed in.

UD is an example of an actual urban feel to it
