I’m pulling for the leafs too! I grew up in Toronto so I have a legit excuse 😁

Airdrie’s downtown will build up, just a matter of when.

I like that Central Park plan for Seton. It’s nice having it surrounded by low rise apartments, it has a European feel.

Definitely a crane base!

Won’t be long before we see crane here.

I think most of us agree the park option is a bad idea. As someone who cycles around downtown in the Beltline from time to time, I would love to see more infrastructure for cycling or pedestrians, but I think taking vehicle access away from 11th St. is the wrong approach. Why do we need to take...

I would rather see vehicle traffic left open on 11th St., and mixed in with active mode, but also a separate overpass or underpass somewhere else along the Beltline that is only open to active modes. The whole idea is to improve active mode options, but that doesn’t mean we have to take away...

Not under any circumstances while Trump is in power.

We cancelled our trip to the New York/Philadelphia this summer, and cancelled plans for Hawaii next December. Part of it is Trump, part was the low dollar, but Trump made it an easy decision. On the flip side, it’s now helping to convince my less adventurous wife to go to another continent.

The vast majority (including myself) voted for elevated. A question for those who voted for the u/g option. Do you think there’s a chance of getting funding for u/g? I’m not challenging your choice, more of curiosity thing. To me it looks like u/g is completely off the table, but I might be wrong.

This would be a good addition to the Chinook area. It’s 1000 times better than what’s there now and I see this as cheap housing stock 20 years from now when Chinook is being built out as highly dense node.

This most likely the reason. There are plenty of people who would pay an extra 100k for their preferred location.

You beat me to it @trtcttc. 100% the climate down in the lower parts of the intercity are different than outer areas of the city. My best guesstimation on the heat island effect for the core is a couple of things, one is the amount of concrete and cement, the other is elevation. A few years back...

Outside of 526-4th, I wonder which project will go next?

My aunt had Owen Hart as a teacher, so I’m part of that special 25% and therefore Calgary Royalty. 😎
