    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Best street/block in the city to make a woonerf imo. Repave the street in a pattern of some sort, to help make it obvious and give those store fronts all the space they need. Add some bollards at the end with a change to the pedestrian and cycling LRT crossing (let's see how Stampede Stn does...

    Kind of surprised they aren't going to turn it into a half-clover or whatever the plan is for that interchange.

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Just came across these updated bridge concepts on the city's website: https://engage.calgary.ca/greenline/bowbridge So other interesting renderings with view points and landscaping of the area as well. I think the second / under deck arch concept is my favourite of these. Would...

    At least they're not trying to hide the easy-trim in the rendering and we know ahead of time what we'll get.

    And not just for people. The rails help when lifting the walls into place, as they are framed and sheeted on the floor. You can see where they've been left on for the open windows on the floor below.

    Sunalta Heights | 88.39m | 27s | Housing One | S2

    If Bridgeland gets added to the FFZ, then I think it would make sense to add the Zoo station too. If Vic Park, then add Erlton too. In addition to Sunnyside and Sunalta, the FFZ would encompass the whole downtown "bowl".

    I'd hope/assume whomever designs and supplies the roof members would provide piggyback trusses to create a peak within those valleys.

    Highland Park Redevelopment | ?m | 15s | Maple Projects Inc.

    It is de facto a park currently - I go here everyday with my dogs. I walk through here every time dreaming of its renewal. But it really just needs to be better taken care of, and could use a flush of cash to at least properly clean it up. A shame there is very little chance of that happening.

    That light grey would have been so much better on the crown, to match with the louvres and night lighting 🤦‍♂️

    Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I'm going to guess due to some sort of lighting feature.

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    My partner and I were talking about this last night. On the one hand, I think Nenshi has overall been an effective mayor and wouldn't be upset if he ran again. The other hand says it might be time for new blood. However, if he does run again, I foresee him losing to a UCP drop-in candidate (ie...

    Covid-19

    Of course he won't resign. But I know he's heard the message. I would like to see the MLAs demoted today also be ejected from caucus (also unlikely to happen, especially with a Nixon bro among them). They would still support legislation brought on by the gov and likely vote in line with them for...
