Is there an electronic or publicly available version of the streetcar study?

With 26ave SW getting some wheeling improvements (link), I would love to see 20st SW (between 26ave and 33 ave and further south) go from a painted bike lane to a protected one. There is definitely enough space to do so. Does anyone know if that appears in any long term plans or if there will be...

Do lower income people not deserve somewhere to live? That aside, do you really think people spending 400-500k on a brand new row house are the dregs of society? And just to play along with your sentiment; if people buying denser homes really are "low income" per your theory , why is it OK to...

We have a right to be skeptical given the cheapness of development we sometimes see, but to put on the exterior mesh, they need to finish this vinyl first. I like to think RNDSQR wouldn't cheap out on that feature.

Excited to see them coming to Marda Loop, but won't the street-facing patio essentially be in perma-shade most of the year aside from a bit of sun in the morning? The rooftop patio would be better, but not by a ton.

Total aside, but does anyone know why some communities are chock-full of ugly overhead powerlines, while others of similar vintage are not? Hillhurst vs Bankview for example. Does the city ever intend to bury them?

Thanks folks, appreciate the help. I will try the pre-app process!

Hi all, I know this question is a bit in-the-weeds for this forum, but as a homeowner that's not in the development industry, navigating the permitting world is super challenging. I bought an infill a year ago, with a short wood retaining wall along part of the front drive that was already in...

My understanding is that figure also includes a number of local pedestrian and road improvements, would love confirmation from someone closer to this

Cladding going up. Looks like Hardie inside the recessed balcony portions and then panels on the rest.

Credo in Bankview is 125 units: https://traine.ca/communities/#current-construction

Found a small updated rendering on the Traine website. What a massive downgrade: https://traine.ca/communities/#current-construction Anyone know where to find more renderings?

This could just be my untrained eyes, but so far this is coming out pretty different from the renderings. No top 2 storey setback on the West side (side the photo on the right is taken from), the rendering makes it look 4 storeys tall rather than 5. Windows are definitely VE'd (just look at the...
