It might help a bit in the immediate vicinity of the building if it has decent security but I doubt it'll help much overall until the whole area sees much more residential development. Scrapping the naive honour system on the C-train would probably help quite a bit. It's not the early 80's...

The three cranes of Haysboro. Foreground is the crane for Boro Block, the two in the background are for the Macleod/Heritage development.

View of the two cranes from the parking lot of Han Corea restaurant. One issue this project might have in attracting residents is the amount of vagrants in the area. That would be a huge turn off for me if every time I left my building I'm seeing addicts shooting up or milling about high as a kite.

Massively improving local and regional transit should take priority over HSR by a huge margin. I'm an airline employee, so I've travelled a lot and have used many HSR networks. They are great, but the local buildout needs to happen first and in a big way. HSR in Alberta would be cool and all...

I'd be riding to and from Downtown and the Airport so I'm not sure a folding bike would cut it.

Looks like there's a second crane up at the Macleod/Heritage development now.

It's actually the morning commute that would be the issue. I'd be boarding the red line from South Calgary at around 8am. I actually don't work downtown but taking the train downtown then bike commuting from there is what I'm trying to accomplish this summer on some days. Coming home it will be...

Ah bummer.

Does anyone here ever take their bike on the C-train during peak hours? I know they got rid of the time restrictions for bringing your bike on the train, but I wonder how really feasible it is considering how crowded the trains can get during weekday rush hours, especially the Red line/201.

Rode the Glenmore Reservoir loop today on my gravel bike with stock 40mm tires. Again the problem area is Weaselhead Flats. The rest of the park is basically clear save for some wet sections. I did the loop clockwise and entered the park at Glenmore Landing. The hill from South Glenmore down...

I live right smack in the middle of this area (89th and Elbow). Doing something with 89th Ave would be nice but I wonder how they'd connect it to the network at Elbow Drive. When I was at the phase 1 engagement the map showed the poorly maintained sidewalk that goes between St. Gerards Church...

Looks like a dental clinic will be opening in one of the commercial spaces on the main floor. The other spaces look like they have yet to be leased.

What are the rules and expectations around snow removal on sidewalks? I was out walking around the neighbourhood today and noticed that most sidewalks in front of residential properties were cleared, ALL of the sidewalks adjacent to commercial properties and churches were cleared, however NONE...

I just rode a loop in South Calgary that included South Glenmore Park, the Greenway that runs parallel to Tsuut'ina Trail entering Fish Creek at Shannon Terrace. Between Shannon Terrace and Bebo Grove in Fish Creek the trail still has a ton of very icy sections. I wouldn't recommend riding that...
