Careful everyone, some might think of you as a NIMBY for having the audacity to be disappointed in the new design compared to the original!

We have a winner! Thank you jhappy77 I couldn’t agree more with your statement. I’m all for assisting the people who need it most and want/willing to be helped. Those that are agents of chaos and do not want any assistance should be forcibly removed from our streets and exiled as would have been...

Gasp! Are those water fountains in front of each lobby? A fountain in Calgary? Can’t be, that’s not allowed….

I would bet money the SAM Center gets converted to more school space for the performing arts stuff that is currently on site within the next decade. I agree with everyone else, I don’t see the draw or appeal of the SAM Center. Not sure why they would have invested that amount of time, money...

Is it me, or is Imperia’s pit much larger and deeper, even though it is a shorter/smaller tower?

I fully agree with Infrastructure Enthusiast’s ideas. I’m at the point where they need to be gathered up and forcibly sent to some type of set up outside of the city where they can detox, get mental support, learn new skills, and get set up for introduction back to society. The ones that can...

Just finished an extensive bike ride along the Riverwalk, including East Village. I’m just going to go ahead and say it because I don’t care anymore, but they need to remove the DIC ASAP and relocate it somewhere else more on the fringes. Can’t believe the city renewed its existence for another...

So I finally made it down to the new Eau Clare Plaza with my kids. As someone who was openly negative about this plaza during construction, I will offer my final opinion after seeing it in person. Overall I would give this a 7.5/10 which is better than I was expecting. Likes: Main tree lines...

So only 2 1/2 floors out of 8 are actual exhibits?

My appologies for having high standards and wanting Calgary to be an amazing city. We all know not every proposal will get built, as that is not realistic. If that’s true, then I would rather the ugly ones be the ones to get cut. Give me more Lincoln’s and Imperia’s. For the lower cost option...

Not good. Don’t care if this ever gets built. There are so many proposals and projects on the go better than this that I don’t mind if it dies on the drawing table.

I filled out the survey and participated in engagement and feedback….they didn’t do very much of what I suggested haha.

Are those the official renderings of Stephen Ave? In the bottom they say that these are conceptual and subject to change. If they are the official renderings, then this is a pathetic effort. No more historical looking lamp posts? I agree the grey and black look sterile and dull. The street was...

Brick portion looks fantastic! White section looks like trash…still would have preferred to keep the old brick apartment building.

Sasso and Vetro are not terrible, I think of a dozen worse looking buildings. I agree that Nuera is far worse. The reality is nowhere near what they proposed in the renderings.
