Could be referring to the traffic calming of turns on/off 14 St?
I don't think UMR and Elbow Park ever had commercial/retail (except for the Glencoe).

I dont think it is, i cant think of any actual gates. But there are a few areas along 14th where you're not supposed to turn in at certain times of the day, mostly to stop people from commuting through the neighbourhood

I was being cheeky - the traffic calming from the 2000s combined with the inability to materially change the zoning that in-effect "gates off" the community from pass-through traffic. This has influenced the traffic patterns to the West and South of the community, including the evolution of the 33/34th Main Streets over the years.
I think long term I see Marda Loop-ification spreading north along 14 St SW, and south along 16 St SW (and then maybe doubling back west on 50 Ave SW), but nothing east of there.

I see the "Naturezone vitamins" which was in the house at 2040 34 Ave SW first shows up in phone books in 1999 so easily 25 years+

Looks good and a huge improvement over what was there. A nice cafe in the old house would be money!

What's happening to that old house? A cafe or ice cream shop would be perfect.
Drive by the former Blackfoot mobile home park today, and they're digging it up. There are piles of dirt all over the place. Not sure if they're just grading or remediating or what.

Last I heard it was to be used with the performing arts somehow, but that was years ago. The website now states that it will eventually be leased to tenants.

I just notice a Leonard sign up on the house at 1908 34 Ave SW, across the road from Elizabeth Square. Also noticed a bunch of building materials on the corner lot next door. Seems like it is being used for staging. I think it might be owned by Sarina, but that could have changed and I wander if Leonard was able to buy it, and that’s why they picked up the house at 1908.
