Back when I was in university I worked for the city of Calgary on a landscaping roads crew. The two crews in our division would make it a competition who could rip down and collect as many pop up lawn signs on city property as we could….those things drive me nuts.

I'd love to see some banners hung on those blank walls advertising current events in the BMO. A permanent mural would be nice or a giant LED TV would be even better!

Still can’t believe Eau Clare is not finished yet. As soon as it’s done I bet they start demolition of the mall and town houses and the whole area will remain a giant construction zone.

Would be nice if they hung some banners or commissioned some murals for those walls in the last picture.

I’ll wait until it is fully done before making my final judgement. Will they seal all the seams? That might make it look smoother. If the seams are not sealed then this is looking very mediocre and not what the renderings show. Fingers crossed it turns out better than what it’s currently showing.

The guy who smashed all the panels should be forced to help rebuild the new railings.

Stupid. Couldn’t they actually build a real water fountain with real water drops? Just a little more disappointing everyday lol.

Don't know why they couldn't build around the apartment or incorporate it somehow. Just lazy and cheap.

Put me in the camp that is very disappointed the heritage apartment is coming down. Such a waste…this city will never learn.

They sure went all in on the new sign!

What's the purpose of the giant asphalt patio in front of the Saddledome? It used to be concrete with those hideous red lanterns. I assume we are stuck with the asphalt as the dome will eventually be torn down (no point wasting money on pavers or concrete), but I wonder if they can come up with...

It's such a disappointing building use-wise up to this point. Until a restaurant actually takes up the ground floor and spills onto the river walk, this building is very sterile, cold, and devoid of life. The bike shop helps in the summer, but does nothing for the winter. Are there actually any...

I'm quite positive that the internal functioning of the building will be top of the line in terms of what a convention center should be. It will be capable of hosting the biggest conventions possible. In essence, it will do what it is built and designed to do. That is about as far as I will go...

This is fantastic looking and should have been downtown or in the East Village.

This might be the worst looking development in the city. An absolute mess of a facade.

I don't have a problem with this. If there are people who can afford it and the demand is there, than why not. It also looks 100x better than what it currently is. Not everything needs to be cheap rental stock. Some nicer, higher end buildings are also needed in this city. Diversity is key. I...

There is no question the whole entertainment district and Stampede Trail is going to be a flop. It will obviously be better than what it is now, but if anyone thinks it's going to be some magical Disneyland Main Street, they will be disappointed. I have little hope that the new arena will...

Sweet! Will be a great addition to the riverfront. I’d imagine the developer is responsible for properly restoring the road and sidewalk with the proper pavers at some point as construction advances?

Painfully slow…thought there would be a lot more facade installed by now. On a side note, any word when the renderings for the Arts Commons expansion and renovation come out? Supposed to be in the last quarter of 2023. The Glenbow renovation plus Arts Commons will really transform this part of...

Looks terrible! Give me back the retro McDonald’s lol.
