I believe it was a community medical centre back in the day. The kind of place you take your young kids to get vaccines. Perhaps in the era of Joe Rogan fans, there’s less demand for this sort of thing.

With all the chatter on this thread about a poor pedestrian and cycling experience on Macleod, perhaps it’s more appropriate to focus on corridors that can realistically be improved in the area. Why not leave Macleod alone and focus on improving Bonaventure, Heritage and Haddon for pedestrians...

The Route Ahead Report on page 122 shows right of way for the extension to 85 St station at the intersection of Aspen Hills Dr and Aspen Stone Blvd. This doesn’t open the door for an additional station to the north in the community of West Springs. Perhaps the only alternative is to head west...

I feel like it’s a much easier sell to the public to extend a currently operating line that is successful, rather than building a completely new line. This would be a natural project to consider after the green line is all done

The scale of development in both West Springs and Springbank Hill makes me wonder if a West LRT extension is possible. With one station at 17 Ave/ 85 St, then one in the West Springs Area, say 8 Ave and 85 St. I saw in the Calgary Transit Route Ahead plan, this extension was listed as a...

Does anyone know what the development is going up across the street from Luke’s Drugs in Killarney? I was in that area the other day and noticed about a half block was cleared and it included the corner lot facing 26 ave. They have construction fencing around the vacant lot. That address was...

This is a great example for a topic that you can ask about to the mayoral or councillor candidates in this year’s municipal election. I don’t think townhouses are appropriate scale for that site, and that’s what was asked. Either high rise or mid rise towers likely fit the bill here. Westbrook...

The city is in no rush on this, they don’t need to settle for townhouses on that site. I think they should wait until they find high rise developers. If it takes a few years, then so be it. They have the ability to develop several train station areas for intensive TOD. I’d rather they wait...

This is fabulous news. It looks like they used this parcel as a storage yard for their other projects on 33 St SW for the past couple years. Once this project on 14 Ave/33 St is complete, it will really make this feel like more of a multi-family community. Also, it should make a more...

This development is a great use of underutilized land. No. One has been using that large parcel for about a decade now. It’s in an area that has been redeveloping rapidly for a couple decades, on the forefront of the trend compared to the rest of the inner city. The current form of the project...

I hope you’re right, the higher the better by a station. It’d be nice to see a catalyst for development along the NE line. I’d assume the demand for apartments would be quite high over there, and ridership is great on transit in this area of town. For some reason the West line seems like the...

This neighbourhood definitely hasn’t become quieter since the high school closed. Redevelopment has been perpetually hot for at least 15-20 years in Killarney/Richmond/Knob Hill. Endless infills and townhouses going up since the mid 2000s.

Why do consider this to be ‘losses of the businesses?’ There will be ground floor retail in this development. There could actually be more businesses here, but with way better utilization of the land. There are so many areas in the city where this sort of development would add to the area...

CTV News did a great piece covering the mechanics working on the old Edmonton LRT cars. To me, they look quite similar to the original Ctrain cars. This made me appreciate more about how skilled these mechanics are who maintain these ancient cars. Link Here

I see people mention that this is a boring area to live in and I completely disagree. There are a ton of new builds and conversions going up in the area. It’s realistic that a couple thousand new people will move to west downtown and Eau Claire in the next few years. It’ll be one of the most...
