Stony Plain Road and 124 Street intersection reopens after Valley Line West LRT construction
The intersection of Stony Plain Road and 124 Street has reopened to traffic, one week ahead of schedule.
Marigold Infrastructure Partners, the company building the Valley Line West LRT, fully closed the intersection on April 22 to speed up construction on the project.
North and south traffic on 124 Street has reopened at full capacity, but east and west traffic on Stony Plain Road has been permanently reduced to one lane in both directions.
Right and left turns are permitted, except for eastbound to northbound left turns, which are permanently banned.
Pedestrian access has been reopened throughout the intersection.
Marigold says drivers will continue to see construction in the area for several years until the LRT project is completed.

Shopify Inc: Needham Initiates Coverage with a 'Buy', Sees More Upside
Shopify Inc. (SHOP) (SHOP:CA) On July 14, 2025, Needham & Company started their coverage with a 'Buy' rating on Shopify, with a 12-month price target of $135 USD per share. According to Needham analysts, Shopify is well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing shift toward omnichannel commerce, driven by small and medium-sized businesses seeking scalable solutions. Shopify's expanding suite of merchant tools—including AI-powered analytics, improved point-of-sale integration, and cross-border selling capabilities—as key drivers of long-term growth. In addtion, Shopify's recent partnership expansions and infrastructure investments (such as logistics improvements and fulfillment network enhancements) support both operational efficiency and customer retention. Despite broader market volatility, Needham believes Shopify's recurring revenue model, strong gross merchandise volume (GMV) growth, and solid balance sheet make it an attractive long-term holding. The $135 USD price target suggests a moderate upside from current levels, contingent on sustained execution and favorable macroeconomic conditions. Shopify Inc. has a consensus analyst rating of 'Buy', and a average analyst 12-month price target is $120 USD per share.

Two towers approved for downtown Amherstburg
The Town of Amherstburg has approved the construction of two mixed-use towers at the site of the former General Amherst High School. (Source: Town of Amherstburg) Two new towers will be featured in Amherstburg's skyline after town council approved a monumental development on Monday evening. Council voted 6-1 in favour of allowing Valente Developments to move forward with 8-storey and 11-storey mixed-use towers at the site of the former General Amherst High School. In addressing opposition from neighbouring residents, council members admitted provincial regulations meant rejecting the proposal could open the town to legal blowback, if the developer chose to pursue the matter. 'So, we're never going to agree on this, but we have to come up with a vision for the property along with the developer,' explained Chris Gibb, the town's deputy mayor. The plan includes 144 residential units consisting of condominiums and rental units. The ground floor will feature a mix of retail space and restaurants. 071425 Amherstburg's former high school is being transformed into 144 residential units split between two towers. (Source: Town of Amherstburg) In the months leading up to the decision, residents showed opposition to the plan. At an April 29 meeting, concerns were raised about the building height, lighting, parking and traffic. 'If we vote in favour of this tonight, council loses control, we lose control over this development,' noted Coun. Diane Pouget, who cast the lone vote against the proposal. On Monday, councillors noted the developer worked alongside administrative staff to address as many concerns as possible. 'It really seems that a lot of the concerns are being addressed and that this project is being a project of compromise in many aspects,' said Coun. Linden Crain. Ahead of deliberations, council heard from a lawyer retained by the town to consult on topics raised by the community. 071425 The Town of Amherstburg has approved the construction of two mixed-use towers at the site of the former General Amherst High School. (Source: Town of Amherstburg) 'In my opinion, it wouldn't be defensible to refuse these applications based on the concerns around compliance with federal heritage legislation, insufficient parking or matters that fall squarely within the scope of the site planning process, or an alleged conflict of interest,' explained Analee Baroudi, a lawyer who specializes in land development and municipal law. Speaking to CTV News after the meeting, Peter Valente, the project developer, said he always expected there to be many questions about the project given the site's prominent location and historical significance. 'I've been doing developing for almost 30 years in Windsor, Essex County and this has been the biggest file and the most investment I've made before having any sort of approval whatsoever,' he noted. If the project receives enough interest in the pre-selling market, Valente believes they could break ground in early 2026 and open the doors the following year.
