There's a "NOW RENTING" sign, but I didn't really capture it here:

This is a landmark day for potato photos.

No way was Bex Vintage a failed business. Or the Tiba store on the corner. And the stamp store, and the snowboard shop next door (which had the parking lot behind it) had been open for years. Businesses like that are not going to return to this corner for a very long time.

Looks like this was completed last month: https://www.calgarytransit.com/plans---projects/Haysboro-Storage-Facility-Expansion.html

IIRC the return of 4-car trains is waiting for some work to be completed at the Haysboro garage? I read that the new Eglinton line vehicles in Toronto could go up to 80 km/h, which is also the limit of our LRVs. I thought the green line needed to meet the red/blue lines further west (2 St W)...

Both lines are grade-separated from the CPKC line, though.

Ranchmans Village will be like a 15-20 minute walk from both Southland and Heritage stations.

I have less hope for this one. It's on the wrong side of Macleod from the station, and up a hill. The current pedestrian access isn't great (long light, heavy traffic zooming by right next to the sidewalk), and the proposed design for grade separation is bad in different ways.

Seems to have survived appeal - DP2024-08825 is approved. ✅

(Technically this is in Richmond, which has a part west of Crowchild.)

I'm not even sure President Trump would support it. He might be under the impression they can get all the heavy crude they need from Venezuela.

It looks like the plan is to renovate/convert the office building at 534 (leaving untouched the ground floor where the Ship is), and tear down/rebuild the little apartment building at 532.

IMO that patio is not a replacement - it's shady (south side of the street), and too small.

Thread for the project that will build around (above and to the east of) the Ship and Anchor pub. DP2025-06592. 7 storeys, 24 m, 125 units.

DP2024-04157 was approved, and is past the appeal period. ✅
