Thanks for that interesting and detailed analysis! Despite the average trip distance being fairly low, I believe I heard in a previous Lime presentation that Calgarians on average take longer e-scooter trips than most cities - perhaps because of our extensive river path network. In the City's...

The new building is level, the road is sloped.

2nd Street was already scheduled for repavement due to the condition of the roadway. Plenty of surface cracking, patches from utility work, drainage issues etc. If the City waits too long to mill and repave a roadway, they have to do a full depth repair and replace all the road gravels too...

They definitely dredged it out at least - I floated down that channel on the south side of Elbow Island a couple of times early this summer. It was almost like going through a long tunnel with the big trees overhanging.

There are other buildings under construction for West District. Some townhome product and this one. It is further east off of 77 Street. https://trumanhomes.com/mulberry/

I believe part of the extra space is to relocate the BMO complex's data centre, which currently resides in a part of the building that is going to be demolished for the new expansion.

I believe you're referring to the Inglewood Sanitary trunk project, which is apparently nearing completion. https://www.calgary.ca/UEP/Water/Pages/construction-projects/Construction-projects-and-upgrades/Inglewood-Sanitary-Trunk-Project.aspx

I might swing by and take a photo on my way home. This is worth a 311 ticket from a few of us to put the pressure on for a better solution.

I can't see this one going forward before there is some more certainty on the Green Line alignment and timing. It would be great to see this building integrated with the Centre Street station.

Would it be this site? https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2018-3374 I heard that a new senior's/assisted living facility was being built in that area.
