It’l be a nice addition to that area. It’s too bad that section of Edmonton trail has the ambience of a freeway.

An endowment trust fund is a good idea and it would work. There’s no downside except. that we wouldn’t see the benefits from it for another 30 or 40 years. If the city had created one like 50 years ago, we’d be planting a couple of thousand trees every year from the fund.

Great news, though the article wording is a bit confusing. It talks about 8.7 million Ctrain boardings in March but mentions ‘transit’ had 25 million boardings for the quarter. I’m assuming the 25 million for the quarter is for ctrain? Does anyone know the numbers for all transit (busses and...

Not only 24 minutes travel time, but 11 frequencies all day gives it as good or better service than many rail options. The max purple line is the only one that doesn’t run all day and has low frequency. The other three max lines run all day and have higher frequencies. There’s a very good...

With BMO as the tenant I expect this will start up construction again, it was probably halted due to the ongoing construction on 33rd

Good thing it’s approved, it’s been u/c for a few months now :)

Are those blue sections stucco or aluminum panels?

The sad part about this building and others in Calgary is the metal trim they are using looks like vinyl. There’s an old saying, “perception is reality”.

I don’t think there’s any question the stampede and the city for the main drivers behind Victoria Parks demise. Although I would say it’s hard to compare to places like Beltline, Sunalta, Lower Mount Royal, Mission or Bridgeland. Especially Bridgeland, lower Mount Royal, mission as those areas...

It’s turned out exactly like the renderings. once Kanas took over the project I was worried it might get VE’d but it’s exactly as the original plan.

So far so good, the materials are looking better than I thought they would.

Downtown and Beltline are booming, but not the same way it is in university district, from an owner-occupant perspective. Most of the units being built in downtown are either purpose built rentals or condos targeted specifically to investors who are going to rent them out. The sites in...

I couldn’t care less if it was a cheap spandrel tower, their reasons for opposition aren’t valid in my opinion.

It’s good, old-fashioned average filler. I’m happy to see these developments go up near the Westbrook station even if it’s not right at the station, the extra density going up around it will eventually spur some major development at the station itself.

26th ave is picking up in a good way. One thing I really like about 26th is it doesn’t tie into Crowchild. All the way from 37th St. to 14th it has great potential, if we could only get the bike lane extended all the way to 14th that be great.
