While a nice addition, a park, no matter how big, won't get us out of the economic development doldrums that Edmonton Region is facing.

Seriously, what even was the point of that post?

"If 37,500sqft is little..." I was putting it into perspective...its a park not a floor plate size. I do appreciate the park being constructed and I have said this repeatedly. Its not the be and end all though...though I know its a sign of the communities achievement (with DECL peeps taking the advocacy lead) to secure $$ from the City to create a more livable downtown. The debbie downer came about from my reading the various economic reports from ATB and City economists with construction and the increased deficiit the Province announced yesterday...and I grumbled. My apology for not slapping you on the back with an "atta boy".

You know, the PMP 101 guy, he just keeps regurgitating the first two chapters of the PMBOK.

Not all the time, but yea...sorry man but sometimes you just seem so out there. Maybe I'm missing it.

Still a lot of dirt being moved - though the shape of one of the cross-park walkways is now evident (SW - NE axis). Might be ready for concrete in the next week or so (but I'm no expert, just guessing).
