    Calgary Regional Rail Transit

    Not sure if this has been posted before but Alec Hamilton has created an amazing historical analysis of trains and rail systems in the Calgary Context. https://diverging.weebly.com/ Someone had asked about using this station and it could make sense as proof of concept before building grand...

    Land use redesignation at 17th and 1st street SW. Looks to be infilling the empty lot. https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=LOC2025-0251

    Another land use application for a 24-meter multifamily on 37th. Would have been good to include the northern corner parcel on 21st Ave, but that appears to be under a separate DP application.

    Calgary to Canmore Trail

    If Farkas wins the mayoral race this project would likely move forward with additional funding. He mentioned the pathway in multiple locations in his policy platform (Parks and Mobility) and was/is? the CEO of the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation.

    Workers were there on Sunday. The building looks great with the arches; I'm happy to see this one move forward.

    Nari | 24m | 6s | FAAS Architecture

    Compass Residences | 16.5m | 5s | WestUrban | FAAS Architecture

    Building one is almost completed on the outside, and the second to the south is moving quickly. The prefab walls are a game changer for timelines. View looking north on 37th - You can see the Killarney Multi-Res in the distance

    I like the enclosure of the outdoor space, it reminds me of SAIT's Heritage Hall. A +15 connection would be a good addition to bring people into the space during lunch hour peaks as well.

    Could you share what plan that image is from? I'd be curious to see any detailed analysis completed for it. Interesting that the city's version has a loop at Stampe Station.

    Is that a common method for maintenance in more urban contexts? I would think that would be a lot of effort to put a train on a truck.
