Has the dust settled at Century Park? In mid September I noticed this huge pile of dirt behind the Century Park Train Station in my neighbourhood and thought it was the start of a new block of apartments being built by Procura Real Estate Service (developers of Century Park Condominiums). It seemed an interesting project to follow in sketches. A few days later on 22 August, the Edmonton Journal reported that ProCura was storing the pile of dirt for a construction site across the road. 100 complaints about the dust from the dirt pile (which had not been watered) came from residents in the area. The City of Edmonton threatened to sue ProCura $400 a day for this illegal use of their property. On 10th Sept I sketched the dirt pile again, now a third the size when I first noticed it. Three days later (over Thanksgiving) it was completely removed. PS the development across the road where the dirt came from is Shepherds Gardens Heritage, a new seniors apartment complex on 109 Street.
