    Bowness Rd, Mary's Corner would be great for this

    BMO Centre Expansion | 25m | 5s | CMLC

    An illuminated ring matching the 'saddle' profile of the dome would be cool - even over a parking lot

    Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    This bigger arena should really go a half or full block further south tbh, Get rid of the stampede office and the parkade behind the dome. Add/move mixed-use to 12 Ave and make "13 Ave" pedestrian friendly for that side of the new rink with restos etc.

    Is retail traffic moving away from the +15 and onto popular streets?

    I like to zig-zag up the gravel path on McHugh Bluff as means of getting up the hill.

    IWT-IMBY (I want this in my backyard, pronounced like you would fake scratch a record as a DJ)

    Also I think 4 ST and Edmonton TR should be able to handle any increase in traffic if we were to reduce or eliminate turning movements at Centre ST and 16 AVE.

    I've always hoped that 16 AVE in Phase 1 would be deemed a "temporary" station. With the extension north, they build a new 16 AVE Station below grade that either straddles the Ave or is mostly north of it. That would make 9 AVE Station make the most sense long term. I'd be fine if they skipped 9...

    Glenmore Landing | 115m | 35s | RioCan | NORR

    Here's the neat thing; it's already done.

    Sandstone might have been nice instead of charcoal coloured brick. That's also going to be hot during stampede... Copper is decent, not upset.

    Awesome!!! I know it's essentially just a reskin, but I wasn't expecting to see the new cladding so soon. Certainly looks promising!

    There'll be more. This building didn't escape random-rectangle-ism

    It looks like the curvature is definitely doing it some favours! I kinda doubt its different; just that some shape vs completely flat is allowing for the dynamic lighting.

    Maybe they should trial some uses for the top indoor floor too?

    Thankfully they've updated this 'motif'... Kinda tasteful now.

    I do agree - however the new tower appears to be an inverted floorplate shape to the original tower. Hopefully that will offer some visual diversity despite it all being the same colour.
