The Metz (Schneiders site redevelopment)

[panamaniac]

Speaking of the creek, I'd love to see a multi-use trail go through that park space, over the tracks, and along the creekside to Mill. Would give new access to the TWB brewery, and an alternate route to the LRT.

Over the tracks ... or under, which might be more effective and more accessible.

Better yet, the city should purchase some of that industrial land and create a park, connected to and complementing the one on the Metz side of the tracks. There is plenty of space, and it shouldn't be ridiculously expensive, either.

I've always wondered what the story was behind that unused space.  Businesses have extended into it over the years, and it was levelled out a bit at some point, but it has never been used.  I used to go tobogganing there from time to time when I was a kid (mid-1960s).  If the City could acquire it and add it to the planned square in Metz (connection under the tracks), you could have a substantial urban park.
