Although it may be an inconvenience that last 2 years the LRT is bringing new hope to what I would call a mall struggling on life support. Once Sears left it's been more and more depressing going into that mall.
The owners have hopes for new development integrating medium and high density residential, enhanced transit and retail opportunities.
“It would be great to see some significant residential added on the retail. That really is the perfect transit-oriented development location in the area. There’s lots of land … away from single-family housing. It wouldn’t have a negative effect.” Coun. Ben Henderson

This and That July
Having real estate within easy access to transportation (LRT, transit, major road and highway connectors) generally adds value.
As the old adage goes ‘location, location, location’.
We aren't just talking about a pretty view or schools nearby, we’re talking about access. Condos near LRTs do better when the condo owner/renter/buyer is keen to using public transportation; its a perk to be near LRT. Read More Here
Here is a great way to stand out in a crowded market Jump
What about Edmonton's image? Is it good, bad, ugly? THIS article looks into it and then go HERE for the citizen's take.

Dear Friends and Partners,
For our mid-month newsletter ponder, or put into action, this thought by the great, Steve Chandler:
"Nothing is ever as hard as the mind makes it when thinking about it in advance. Nobody would ever get any results if they stayed in their minds, thinking about what has to be done in the future. Results happen when the mind is left behind in favor of fresh, exciting, creative action.
Nobody cares what you think. No one cares what you are committed to. Only action communicates with others. Only action commands attention."

Job growth has flatlined across the country - except in Alberta
By Jamie Sturgeon, Global News, March 12th, 2014
The February jobs report released by Statistics Canada last week is driving home a trend experts have been taking note of: Alberta’s economy is leaving the rest of the country in the dust.
While last month’s labour force survey painted a dismal jobs picture across much of the country, Alberta was the major exception.
A potent energy sector is the engine of a provincial economy that is booming, registering a pop of 18,000 jobs or 3.8 per cent last month while the rest of the country laboured under lacklustre or even negative job growth. FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE

Alberta promises cash, interest-free loan for Edmonton LRT expansion
By Dave Lazzarino, Edmonton Sun, March 11th, 2014
Mill Woods residents may have a new way to get downtown as soon as 2020 as the last financial spike for the Valley Line LRT was driven home Tuesday.
Premier Alison Redford and Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson met at Churchill Station with numerous fellow politicians in tow to announce a solution to the city’s $365 million shortfall for the $1.8-billion LRT line construction.
“Edmonton told us we needed more. Our caucus told us we needed more. And we listened,” said Redford, before outlining how the province will be providing $600 million toward the rail line that will run from Mill Woods to downtown.
The details involve the city being eligible for $250 million in Green Trip funding, a further $150 million to match federal grant dollars and a $200 million 10-year, no-interest loan from the province. GRAB THIS STORY

Canada’s best places to live
By Melissa Ramsay, Global News, March 12th, 2014
CALGARY – A city in Alberta has been named Canada’s best place to live by Money Sense magazine.
St. Albert, located northwest of Edmonton on the Sturgeon River, topped the magazine’s annual list for the very first time.
It nabbed the esteemed spot thanks to several factors, such as boasting some of the highest incomes in the country, its unemployment rate — which sits at just above four per cent — and crime rates which are steadily falling.
In addition, officials say while winters in St. Albert can be skin-splittingly cold, it’s at least sunny all year round. READ MORE HERE
