People unwilling to walk 10min... This is why we can't have nice things.

Oh no, someone added that "$20,000 Cash back" on the right side of the first image in mspaint after the original design had already been exported as a jpg... couldn't match the red color or the font. Looks pretty hasty and disorganized.

If they reinstall a parking lane and parking signs I'm gonna remove them. Just sayin.

The floorplans make this seem equivalent to some types of university dorm; little pods of 5 bedrooms that share a common kitchen and lounge. One bedroom is even a little bigger with the extra "office" for the floor supervisor or whatever , haha. Dunno if it's a great living arrangement but it...

Great, then it seems like the only relevant stretch of 10th is a single 200m stretch which sorts the the traffic volume onto 11th/12th. The rest is a great opportunity for pedestrianization. It sure looks like you could barricade 10th Ave just past 18th and push all traffic onto the couplets.

Woops, I misspoke, too little time in a car these days I forget about those ramps. Never seems to be much traffic under there when I'm at TRUCK or Two House. The road seems dead under there I'd be fine with a pedestrian promenade ending at 14st, which I think absorbs most of the traffic anyway...

I've always thought 10 ave would be great, as it has low traffic and is kind of redundant for cars, already dead ends at both east and west ends of beltline. Place bollards mid block so vehicles have local access but no through traffic. Bike lane on the north side (triple wide) to limit...

Sorry didn't mean to talk so passionately about bike lanes in the subforum dedicated to bike lanes, my bad.

I don't find this to be true in practice at all. All you've done is doubled the length and duration of the trip below. It's one thing to compare the two cycle paths by length from where they intersect, it's another entirely to consider the types of destinations that require east-west movement...

Oh I lurked on that forum for decade(s) well enough to know the problem there wasn't the occasional harsh word to describe a bad opinion. I agree, but that doesn't run in contradiction to cycle infrastructure on 3rd avenue as well. Why in lieu of? Why is that the default condition? You should...

This is useful. I suggested that before the 3rd ave lane is taken down, another temporary lane should be built on 4th or 5th. As it stands, 3rd avenue is the best east-west connector north of the tracks, and frankly, the only route for modes that don't involve leisure. Eliminating such a...

Dramatic, maybe, but it sure isn't a good look to be presiding over a net loss of bike infrastructure during as mayor. Have you never seen a headline before? you seem disproportionately surprised. by "don't use it, you lose it" you mean that just because you personally haven't seen me with my...

Just sent an email to the mayor and other councillors about keeping the 3rd ave bike lane. Project Calgary has a petition too. https://www.projectcalgary.org/3rd_ave_wk7_update The idea of deleting a bike lane in 2023 seems crazy.

Its so annoying when people suffering homelessness and addiction negatively impact investments. Don't they know about the sanctity of capital? Those selfish humans should know their place. (/S just in case) Obviously it's tough for people living in the area who just want to be unbothered, but...

Hopefully bike parking at least?

What's wrong with "commie" blocks? Just aesthetics? Red scare nonsense? You know what's more depressing than "commie" blocks? Homelessness.

You don't think a leader's character and ideological position matters when determining who to give political power to? E: don't, not dong

A bit of a closer look:

What does that mean?
