So, right back to where our long term LRT plans were prior to Naheed Nenshi being elected, just took over a decade and a billion dollars to get there.

Any chance you are able to share any gems with us? It is always fun to play "what if?...."

One Properties has not submitted a DP yet, and I have heard that the Metro Ford site is not there main priority, hence why they have a permit for Beltline Block in for their next project. I imagine it will be a few years yet before we see anything on the Metro Ford site.

The land use for this one (the new interation with townhomes) goes to CPC this week: Report, Background, Applicant Submission, CA Letter

This is being done as a way to streamline the development process, not only saving time (the approximately 4-6 months needed for a land use change) but costs as well (the holding costs of the property for that time period, and the application fees as well).

A bit more information is available on a land use redesignation in the Springbank Hill area. I won't create a project on the map for it yet (I typically wait until a development permit has been submitted), but you can get an idea of what is being considered. Similar in scale to Willows Phase 4...
