Pretty much all of the lands south of 50th with the exception of parcels adjacent to the Elbow/50th intersection, are individually owned single-family lots, whose owners could care less about the City "vision" for what COULD be developed on their lots. Britannia Shopping centre that is at the Elbow Dr. intersection could get re-developed at some point, I suppose, but the ARP was an absolute waste of everyone's time, I think.

Yeah, that one in particular, is not very useful. A mind-bottling one. At least some stuff right at Elbow drive with those office/retail developments are going ahead and will be great for that area. I can't see much happening along the AltaLink corridor for a long time, if ever.
