Apparently last day is today to provide feedback on the "Touch the water" project.
https://engaged.edmonton.ca/touch-th..._source=CoEweb
Only two comments in the section, but city seems to be playing defense with vague buzzwords
"Engagement feedback and technical study results to date
have not been supportive of creating a continuous paved pathway and platform along the water’s edge"
(emphasis by me)
"the intent of the project design is to create a space that is unique to Edmonton"
"there are spaces proposed to get down to the water to touch it, to sit back and enjoy the view and to tie-up a kayak or canoe. Gathering spaces are proposed for get-togethers of different sizes and types. There are also proposed opportunities to play in or near the river, and to learn and experience more about the history of this area of the river valley."
^What is that offering that you can't do today. This project is simply enhancing and improving the mediocre experience currently offered. "There are also proposed opportunities to play in or near the river", more word jumble vagueness.
