Wowza...whether you like it or not you have to admit this Alberni Street proposal in d/t Vancouver is very different and daring:
http://www.timescolonist.com/news/b-c/downtown-vancouver-to-get-unique-soft-skyscraper-1.9557644
Height quite aside it shows the stark contrast between a truly global city like Vancouver, which is clearly more than willing to consider (and likely approve) of an architectural design radically different from the "norm", and Victoria, which all too often gets its collective knickers in a twist over anything higher than ten stories with even a hint of glass or steel incorporated into the final product, (not to mention insufficient red brick) :)....

http://chucksburgerbar.com/
I haven't seen a thread on this yet; I apologize if this is a duplicate.
Neat little place that opened back in October-ish. I was worried that the location (by Slegg Lumber on the West side of the highway, away from Downtown Sidney) would be troublesome for them, but apparently they're doing very well. I found it to be on the expensive side but the burger & poutine combo I ordered was worth the trip. I'll definitely be giving them another shot (building my own burger next time to try to save some dollars).
Has anyone else tried this place?

gkz posted topic Langford as a core municipality
lpoutine,
gkz has just posted a new topic entitled "Langford as a core municipality" in forum "Urban Design".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently we think of Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt, and Oak Bay as the "core municipalities", and the Westshore (including Langford) as peripheral.
I've lived in a large American city for the past few months, and it's changed my perspective on distance and commuting. Commuting the same distance as Langford to Victoria is considered "close by", while the true people considered commuters are traveling the equivalent of Duncan to Victoria, every day (1h to 1.5h in one direction a day).
Distance wise, the Westshore and Langford should not be considered far away, but it is considered so due to the heavy traffic and transportation choke points. In the next couple of years however, these will be cleared up, and I think our perception of Langford and the Westshore will change, and it will be considered a core part of Victoria.
The biggest and most important of all, will be opening of the McKenzie interchange. This will cause the commute from Langford to Victoria to drop by 22 minutes in the morning, and drop 17 minutes (https://engage.gov.bc.ca/mckenzieinterchange/files/2016/02/McKenzie-Spring-2016-Display-Boards.pdf) on the way back in the afternoon. According to the study, these time savings will persist even to 2038.
As always, people will call "induced demand" when traffic projects are proposed. First of all, if after a road improvement travel times go back to their original state (ie. the speed of the flow is the same), there are still more people able to take part (ie. the volume of flow has increased). However, for the McKenzie interchange, and the other improvements below, it is not simply a matter of adding another lane, but improving the flow of traffic through grade separation, or improved entry/exit points, etc.
Aside from the McKenzie interchange, there are several other traffic issues in accessing Langford and the Westshore. First, the merge and backups at Leigh Rd. The 4-laning to Goldstream will move the merge point down, and eliminate the rat-running occurring at the interchange. There will still be backups, but with the 4 laning and the dual left-hand turn lanes, these should only affect those going over the Malahat.
Second, the overloading of the Millstream interchange. Several projects are working on this. First, the Bear Mountain Parkways extension to Leigh Rd (http://www.cityoflangford.ca/EN/meta/departments/engineering/bear-mountain-parkway-completion-project.html) will transfer all travelers from Bear Mountain away from Millstream. Second, the extension of Leigh Rd over the railway tracks to Langford Parkway will move traffic from the Westhills development. Third, the Westshore Parkway extension (http://www.cityoflangford.ca/EN/meta/departments/engineering/west-shore-parkway-road-completion-project.html) over the railway tracks and to Sooke will first eliminate some highway traffic between Goldstream to Langford, as they can now use an internal route, and will will move over some traffic from Sooke. We will go from having one main access to Langford, to having three.
These significant transportation network improvements will drastically reduce travel times to and from Langford, and I believe will change its perception from being a peripheral municipality, to being a core municipality of Victoria.

The images will be sent out to selected homeowners sometime in the spring, Pander said.
Privacy laws prevent the information from being used by the city for any other purpose and no one else will have access to it, Pander said. Still, any homeowner in the selected neighbourhoods can opt out by emailing thermal.imaging@vancouver.ca (mailto:thermal.imaging@vancouver.ca).
More information about the pilot program, including the dates, times and locations of drop-in information sessions are available at vancouver.ca/thermalimage (http://vancouver.ca/thermalimage)

I'm inclined to say "government, beat it." It's my home, don't be spying on it.
