^Agreed.

Another very, very small 'park' that is getting a bit of a reno is the post office clock tower in front of the Westin. The City has presented us with a small plan to redo the area around that tower with a few more plans and new paving. That corner is technically zoned park.

^nope, Procura.

Alex D Just a quick update:

-Wilco is fully mobilized
-Demo and general clean up of parking lot infrastructure has been removed
-Shrubs around the site have been removed by our Forestry folks
-Decommissioning and abandonment of existing drainage systems is the focus for this week and next
-Mechanical shop drawings have been submitted by Wilco to the CoE and they have been approved by the consultant
-Screening for the fence has been delivered and will be installed (so exciting)

Walked by today - moving along nicely.

Coldrsx · #**185** Posted **Aug 3, 2016, 1:21 PM**

Photos please and thank you.

EdmTrekker · #**186** Posted **Aug 3, 2016, 3:19 PM**

Did not take any. We were on walk about - rarely take photos with my 6s...not good enough. The fabric type fencing is quite high btw - or I am short lol. Hopefully someone looking down from that mid-rise next door can take some shots once there is more to see.

^We have a few DECL folks that can take shots from Fox 1 periodically.

^ They should set up a webcam

I wonder how long it will take to complete? Going to be great to see the one on the corner of 107 Street by NorQuest ... so 2 parks a few blocks apart on 102 Ave.

Black Star · #**190** Posted **Aug 4, 2016, 3:09 AM**

It will be so nice to have some green there. Looking forward to checking it out when shes done.

Coldrsx · #**191** Posted **Aug 4, 2016, 1:57 PM**

^^yup, 2 x 1/4 block (~40,000sqft) parks within 2 blocks will indeed be transformative for the livability of that area.

ADP should be Substantially Performed by fall we were told, but realistically it will not be open until next spring. The idea is for a grand formal opening 1 yr from the ground-breaking in June 17'.

^That said, dog owners might be able to use the off-leash area this fall. But depends on contractor completion. Fingers crossed!

Such a long-time coming, but truly excellent to see. I am so proud to have been a part of this project.

Coldrsx · #**195** Posted **Aug 11, 2016, 8:07 PM**

Nice, a great little addition to downtown.

Coldrsx · #**198** Posted **Aug 16, 2016, 5:29 PM**

If 37,500sqft is little...

hilman · #**199** Posted **Aug 16, 2016, 5:37 PM**

Touche!

Black Star · #**200** Posted **Aug 16, 2016, 10:12 PM**
