I'd like to see some real high rises built at the intersection of Edmonton Trail and 16th avenue. 20 story plus. That would draw businesses to that road.

The current zoning at that intersection is C-COR 2, with a height modifier for 28 metres, or about 91 feet tall. IE too tall to build with wood under the current building code, but not tall enough to make anything else economic at that location. If that intersection was zoned for a 20 story buildings there would be one under construction right now, imo.
