Saw yesterday that what appears to be a Canadian Brewhouse will be going in on the corner of 85th and Broadcast Ave.

Contests like this piss me off. I know it's good for newer artists to get their name out there, but it's just a way for big companies to get a professional result while being able to escape actually paying an artist what they deserve.

Just a few quick photos ahead of the ribbon cutting. The park is incredible.

The park looks busy. They’ve done a good job putting together a nice suburban area with with an urban feel. Reminds me a lot of U/D

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 potential project, but with a low likelihood of execution. Their incremental ridership estimate was 1500. I see estimate to be far too low, as this condo development has been incredible in these neighbourhoods.

That being said, there is a long list of realistic transit projects on the horizon, so this west extension wouldn’t be in the next 15-20 years. A full buildout of the green line, and then a NE blue line extension to the airport or Stonegate seems like a higher priority when I think about it.

It's probably at or near the bottom of priorities, but with the rapid growth of the area, a spur could become a possibility. Lots of cities do spurs.
