Well, Manitoba Maples are in the Acer genus, which are maple species... So yes they are true maples, but I understand your point lol

I think the focus shouldn't only be planting trees alongside roadways and open spaces. Native grasses and shrubs to creating a textured groundcover, interspersed with small thickets of trees would go a long way in making these areas more visually interesting. This approach would help with costs...

From a couple nights ago

This sounds wrong to me, but I could be wrong too!

I used to live on 5A, and there used to be a convenience store. Not sure what happened to them, but went to pick up something one day and they were closed. The renovations they did look good though! Hopefully something great lands there and holds.

A future highway that the province has even admitted likely won't ever get built. But they needed to purchase the land just in case, as the reserve had a clause in the sale to never selkl land for highways again. (Or something along those lines) I would love to see some sort of investment made...

Oh right, I saw this reported in the Western Standard I think (Derek Fildebrant is an editor there now). I still don't think it would happen... The Wild Rose faction of the party would still likely win their seats, even if the majority of the UCP lost theirs.

I really really hate to say it, but I hope Kenney doesn't resign or get the boot, and continues as leader of the UCP right to the next election. If he gets the boot this year, then the chance of comeuppance for the party begins to diminish as they have two years to redraw their image to the...

For what it's worth, there is another DQ up Centre ST (actually, on 40 Ave) that doesn't have a drive-thru. I suspect that the immediate surroundings are much less busier than at Centre and 16 Ave, and yet it is a pretty successful franchise. Perhaps I'm biased for being only a block away from...

If the Greenline ends up crossing 16 at-grade, this would probably be the best overall outcome.

NGL that plaza/portal concept is awful in my opinion. Way too much going on, and completely messes with the connectivity of the river pathway. It is just a concept and need to remind myself that, but they should have at least tried to show the pathway continuing under the bridge. That...

Cowtown? More like Cowabunga, dude!! 🙋‍♂️ ayo up top

Woke up to this yesterday morning on the neighbouring property. The house has been vacant for years longer than I've lived here, and I figured something like this would happen one day. Luckily it was only the garage. I was awake earlier than usual and noticed an orange light cast through the...

Strange that we are supposed to assume that their comment wasn't to be taken literally, yet not mine? It's also pretty suspect that they are more upset about my comment - not even directly accusing them of being a white supremacist - instead of condemning racism and anti-mask sentiments that are...

Although the project has been dogged by so many "re-assessments", it has been (mostly) shovel ready since the UCP took office. It's a bit disingenuous to say it's entirely the city's fault or the province's fault. I do have to say a major misleading point of this project has been that the entire...

Take your "I love UCP and Kenney" speak over to a white supremacist or anti-mask rally and keep it there. This is an internet forum where opinions are allowed to be spoken and spoken against, and clearly this topic has been highly politicized, so don't tell people not to talk about it.

Giving me Curtis Block vibes.

Some design concepts for Balmoral Circus (19 Ave and 2 ST NW). 2 ST is the current N/S cycling route, so I think the first one is better. But would be happy with the second one if they put dedicated lanes on 4 ST. 😏

There are neat lots in a bunch of the older neighbourhoods. Like Bison Path in Ramsay or this lot directly behind another house with a shared driveway in Briar Hill. Nice find!

Looks like is does not. https://www.calgarytransit.com/sites/default/files/content/PDF/18-00853891_-_2019_calgary_transit_system_map_web_dec_20_003.pdf
