Are we going to be waiting until 2027 for a decision on the downtown though? I doubt the (elevated) Events Centre station plans wouldn’t be solidified by then.

Unfortunate then. He never says before from what I could tell. Where is all this pressure for only accepting underground coming from? It’s a wish is all. It’s far too expensive for a city of 1.8 million

He supports the rezoning I am pretty sure. He wants to build more. He’s definitely not fringe. I guess this is the first time he’s said he said he wants underground, which is unfortunate. I wonder where this sentiment is coming from though? Bc we aren’t getting it underground unless someone...

I think Brian Thiessen is all of those things no?

Oh yes that’s very true, although I think I read that it’s planned to be a park. Given the very loud trains going by though, it’s hardly a good location for a public park. Plus it could be next to the planned 4 tower and luxury shopping mall that One Properties has on the books by the old...

Because they think that you must go with the “best” option even if it explodes the budget while at the same time gives us the least amount of coverage. It’s fine to have a bit of fantasy, but you need to know when to stop day dreaming and be realistic. The weird thing is, the elevated option...

They could do along Stephen Ave if they could ever get approvals. We saw what happened with Stephen Ave Quarter, though imho that was a frankly dogshit design

Just build it elevated.

Welcome to Canada! And you wonder why everything is unnecessarily expensive

I see. That’s unfortunate, that requirement needs to be stripped. It’s a waste of resources and time.

Is this common law? Or just the Anglo love of performance politics?

It’s a Canadian/Anglo thing to be sure. However these endless engagements that frankly only give voice to the frankly uninformed it is just performative and have nothing to do with democracy. Canada doesn’t have a direct democracy, we elect those to make decisions. They need to stop wasting time...

Honestly I have no idea why Canada gives so much power to NIMBYs. Is it legally required to have all these stupid voices heard, or is it just something that’s been done for a while? Other places I’ve lived, communities have a certain degree of input, tweaks here and there, how to increase...

Yes it’s weird that people, on this of all forums, would be pro candidates whose modus operandi is to bring back exclusionary restrictive zoning and are anti development. I can’t imagine much or any good coming from them winning for Calgary in the near or long term.

Don’t see what they offer as a benefit to what we have today. I want all the councillors and mayor to be independent. Less partisan nonsense.
