DANGER

So on my way to work I pass by the old Cuty Centre Airport. It has been closed for some time now and eventually the city will start construction on Blatchford Village which is a development project that will see townhouses, condos and park space replace the open field and old runways. In the distance is the Aviation Museum which chose to remain and will be a part if the development

[Susan]

Nice to see they are going to develop the land and that the Aviation Museum will remain. Nice capture and story, Brian!

[Jane Anderson]

Nice story, and it will be interesting to see it post-development some day!

[ShirleyB]

Great capture. I think it's nice to get a picture of something that is going to change beyond recognition before hand. Pleased to hear the museum is going to survive.

[Graham Thresher]

Great capture.

[Karin Hirsch]

Wonderful if you intensiv to do a serial of shots showing the development in progress

[Pyrrhula]

A great view on and capture of this to be developed field

[gloria jones]

Neat shot...developing land for its best use is important

[Lynne Hart]

good shot, like to see brown field sites being regenerated.

[Ivan]

Good to develop here and not green fields. Nice information, Brian.

[bruni]

At least they leave the museum. landscapes change so fast nowadays with all the new construction for housing.

[Colleen Culhane]

Glad to see progress!

[Stephanie Swift]

I would frankly prefer the fields to the development.

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[Susan Klassen]

Nice capture of this. I remember when this airport closed that's sure a long time ago. Interesting they are only now starting to develop the land. I remember surprising Michael for his Birthday with a flight in a Cessna that started right there.

[John]

Indeed it is surprising the land was not developed sooner.

[Howard Steele]

Great site to record the development...I always regret not having stopped to take before and after pics

[Peter Grave]

Progress !! Nice shot Brian although i see a layer of smog which is something we don,t see here.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot. It will be interesting to see what it will look like when it is done.

@susanalena Glad to have shared this one

[bkb in the city]

@cejaanderson Well not sure when the real work begins

[bkb in the city]

@shirleybankfarm The museum is very nice to have around still

[bkb in the city]

@thresheg Thanks Graham

[bkb in the city]

@khirsch Karin I will certainly take pictures if the development of it

[bkb in the city]

@pyrrhula Thanks Pyrrhula

[bkb in the city]

@seattlite it is better than letting it just sit there empty

[bkb in the city]

@lhart It is nice to find another use for it

[bkb in the city]

@ivan Glad to share it

[Nick]

Nice to see a before shot. It'll be interesting to see the development as it progresses - sounds like it's going to be quite big.

[bkb in the city]

@bruni Bruni that us very true

[bkb in the city]

@colleenculhane It will be nice when it is actually done

[bkb in the city]

@tristansmum that would be nice to let nature take its course

[bkb in the city]

@agedrunner glad you like it

[bkb in the city]

@dailypix Actually Susan it did not close entirely until about one and a half years ago. Prior to that they had reduced the size of planes that could fly in and out if there

[bkb in the city]

@congaree There was a huge fight over this whole issue and it time for everything to settle

[bkb in the city]

@peterlgrave that is smoke from forest fires

[bkb in the city]

@mittens I will do updates once in awhile

[bkb in the city]

@nickspicsnz Nick this will take up a huge area

[Bev]

It's sad to see one thing closed, but it's nice that they will be using it for something else.

[bkb in the city]

@prttblues Bev it is nice that they will develop this area

[Lisa Poland]

So glad they are keeping the museum. It will be a great part of the community.

[bkb in the city]

@homeschoolmom It is a great museum

[Bankmann]

… but for now that sign looks a little lost… ;-p

[bkb in the city]

@bankmann eventually that will change
