Stormwater management too.

Also, some local examples of the above mentioned uses:

That lot used to be the former Waterloo Toyota dealership lot before they moved out to Northfield and the Expressway. Hakim Optical was the dealership building.

That wouldn't do much, as it's already zoned MR-25. It looks like the developer has already consolidated the properties, and once the structures are gone, if their building specs conform to the MR-25...

Totally agree. The Conestoga Parkway is not some inner-city freeway and if it were removed, any redevelopment would likely just be very similar to what surrounds it. There's much more to lose if it...

Actually, there used to be a Highway 424 proposal. This was back when there was a class environmental assessment about 6 years ago for the highway. However, a "bump up" order was issued and there is...

I guess Delta Hotels wrote a few cheques over the past few weeks then...:RpS_wink:

This is for sure a building for RIM. In Report P-11-025 for the Region of Waterloo P&W Committee, is says on page 13 that a building permit was issued last year for $30,000,000 for a "Research in...

The Price Chopper on Bridge Street will be changing to a FreschCo according to a department manager in the store.

:laughing:

Did they respond?

Yup, January 27 to be exact. When I saw the black hoarding, I knew right away what it was.

One thing I don't get in the CTV article:



So, now being the 10th largest CMA in Canada is not a...

Why, gee, thanks Wonderful Waterloo, in particular Duke-of-Waterloo for the initial tip. :RpS_wink:

A little history on this:

Westmount Place - when it used to actually be a mall in the 1990s, sought approval to have the mall declared a regional shopping centre. This was when Eatons anchored the...

OMG! That's just what we need! Another dentist...:RpS_rolleyes:

Sunshine Avenue in Waterloo is arguably one of the worst. This is downright embarassing.

It was actually mussels.




That's actually another project that's at least a few years down the road. I'd call this project phase 5 of improving the expressways in KW. Essentially it's been...

The was-to-be relocated Booster Juice (fully built-out too) in the adjacent plaza at King and University has a sign in the window saying it will now open as a Crêpe Delicious.

Speaking of illumination, when are they going to install street lights along Ira Needles Blvd? The Boardwalk is well lit, but the roadway is not...

That's a weak argument. While it might be true, why didn't the MTO say the same thing for widening the expressway to 6 lanes west of Courtland? They're obviously widening it there, but won't the LRT...

It's official! Apple is coming to Conestoga Mall.
There is now a job posting on Apple's website for all positions for the store. :banana:

That used to be the Arcadian Court at The Bay - which closed. There was recently a press release that Compass and Oliver and Bonacini are doing a partnership with The Bay to revamp most in store...

New stores coming to Fairview Park Mall this spring:


Ricki's
Swiss Chalet
Journeys
Gymboree
Sephora
Kernels (moving from kiosk to in-line CRU)

Correct, but none these buildings are within the King Street Corridor from Spring Street in the north to William Street in the south. The City does not permit tall buildings (+3/4 stories) within...

I think the Westin proposal would be much more fitting within Uptown than a 15-storey "in-your-face" Hilton. If Hilton does go in and the Domain/Delta, there will definitely not be demand for more...

Has anyone heard anything more on the hotel progress/brand change? Construction has pretty much been stalled for the last few weeks. Regardless, an idle construction site with a tower crane would be...

Well - that takes care of this question then! :RpS_biggrin:

I agree with Spokes though - I would much rather see condos than another hotel. With the Domain/Delta being built @ BarrelYards and a...

Two properties for me:

1. The old White Rose store on Weber Street. This has sat vacant for far too long. A couple months ago, I stumbled across an urban exploring page of inside the White Rose...

One interesting thing about this neighbourhood is that it already has a somewhat mixed-use character - even though it is now officially a MU area. There are small stores (convenience stores, hair...

What did this building used to be? What was manufactured there?

I'm thinking something really similar to the Mansion lofts! Do you think they could add a couple floors on the top?

Is Lizzy R closing, or is it already closed?

Exactly. Leaving early when there is spare capacity is the smart way to go. However, many still leave it until peak hours, and when they come up upon congestion, they exit at the next interchange and...

Leaving earlier? A lot of Toronto-bound commuters leave at 5:00 in the morning from here when traffic volumes are lighter.

Of course you will get many motorists who will not have a problem paying...

Well then, simple - the times at which a fee applies, you will get many who will dodge the extra charge and opt for the "free" ride. No one likes to pay bills, and an added congestion charge is just...

The same people that avoid Highway 407 and take the many other routes, even if they're congested. :RpS_tongue:

It should only be widened to 6 lanes, which is less overwhelming than an 8 lane highway. The upgrades should be similar to what is proposed from Courtland - Fischer-Hallman. Switching lanes on a...

Ever since the Conestoga Parkway was doubled in width from 4 to 8 lanes from Frederick Street to Highway 8 in 2000, I have never seen or heard any congestion other than from an accident. Yes it does...

PICs will be coming up for this project, and you should definitely tell the consultants this. There were emails too I saw that you can send suggestions to, and hopefully I can find those again and...

Try telling that to the 100,000 people who use the Conestoga Parkway on a daily basis and our politicians. Or London, Ontario who doesn't even have an expressway. We are lucky to have it in the first...

I really hope they consider widening the expressway from Lancaster to King. I was driving south from King today at 4:30 and it was maybe crawling at 35 km/h. I wonder if the traffic volumes warrant...

The Townships won't be paying for the Region's LRT. What will happen though, if things significantly change, and the rapid transit's northern terminus is at the St. Jacobs Market?

Will the...

The problem is that it's not only The Boardwalk that will overwhelm Ira Needles. At Erb & Ira Needles there will be approximately 500,000 square feet of retail space when that is fully built out, not...

The only two SDMS in the Region that are 24 hours are Bridgeport and Weber, and at on Hespeler Road beside the Cambridge Centre, which is roughly a 21 kilometre difference. Since these two stores...

Actually, this is probably one of the areas of the Region that I walk the most.

With the criticism of this property on here, you'd think it was reverting back to a gas station...

Likely not with the Bridgeport & Weber store being open 24 hours and just a short distance away.

+1

Sure better than Quiznos.

That's probably what's happening. This arrangement will give Shoppers access to the old Scotia ATM doors, allowing them to stay open past mall hours (something most SDM stores are moving to). Maybe...
