I don't think it is funded yet. I believe the City's real estate arm paid to have the functional planning study completed as part of their Constellation industrial subdivision. Now what is needed is funding to do detailed design and construction. It will likely be on the ask list for the next...

It doesn't need to be a competition, be happy our city has a few places like this.

Could the lack of inner city schools be due to the lack of sites available?

It is also a case of the project being quite large, and no group willing to take it on. Again I keep harping on it, but the LAP should be the vehicle that addresses this. But other than some high level verbage written into it, no real attempt at trying to decide what Macleod Trail is going to...

https://www.calgary.ca/planning/transportation/macleod-trail-corridor-study.html There is a link to the old study that failed. I think the direction was to put pathways down each boulevard. It is too bad the LAP process doesn't look at any sort of infrastructure, even to just give a preliminary...

Creating a thread for this project that was mentioned in the Urban Development thread. Nothing on DMap yet, but it should be soon. https://livewirecalgary.com/2026/02/26/ranchmans-relocate-2027-mixed-use-development/ Deveraux does this type of project quite well. Their Podium project in...

Fully agree with your point. I just feel like pointing out that, ironically, 17th Avenue SW has a 5.182m public realm setback on it, so this project will need to be pushed back from the current property line by 5.182m, to widen the ROW for 17th Avenue. You can see this in the DP drawings. I...

Looking at google maps, it appears that the City has placed a large piece of stormwater infrastructure right where 8th Avenue would connect with 10th Street: https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0593776,-114.0871255,136m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Also, a...

Wasn't this a specific Council direction from about 12 years ago? No more "stand alone" civic facilities, because mixed-use is best! I have heard the fire department does not like this policy either, look at the saga surrounding the (yet to be built) Inglewood fire hall / affordable housing...

Interesting. Anyone know why they would put this in this project, given there is a relatively new branch right across the street?

This one passed at Council for land use. As part of the meeting, the applicant had a presentation that showed a new angle of the building: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=351164

It was only 13 months ago that the drilling rigs showed up on site. This one seems to have gone up extremely fast to me.

So the land use was going to public hearing today, but when setting the agenda, Councilor Schmidt motioned to remove this item from the agenda and file it, at the request of the applicant. This was passed unanimously I think (wasn't paying 100% attention). I think this means this is now dead...
