    Cantenary lighting at intersections is interesting.

    The video was spot on, but there was improvement against Seattle, and through 2.5 periods tonight against Nashville, the Flames have looked pretty good. Tbh, I don’t know if the Flames will ever manage to get JH going (he’s sitting in the third period). I think the Flames should change their...

    Trying to decide between “Firehouse Brewhouse”, “Firehall Brewhall” or “Firehall Beerhall”. I agree the building would be great for a restaurant but also agree the location isn’t. I do miss the Enterprise. It was the most convenient car rental location for work. Either way, it would be great...

    I like it. Also, these might be the most honest renderings I’ve seen. Didn’t gloss over the overhead lines, cracked road surface, broken curbs.

    City needs to put more stringent TLU requirements in place for vacant lots.

    I actually started responding to the “bankrolling” comment but decided to leave it unsaid. Suffice to say, I agree with you. The taxpayer is bankrolling this thing via the City and Province, and therefore, the design should reflect that. Give me a building that is inviting on all 4 sides, not...

    The problem with the Macleod Main Street is that it focuses on the wrong portions of Macleod (North: 50 Ave to Elbow River; South: Glenmore to Anderson). The focus should be 25 Ave to 9 Ave (both forks), followed by 25 Ave to 50 Ave, and then maybe Glenmore to Anderson if there is time/money...

    It’ll be even closer (5-6 mins less) when the new event centre is built.

    The frontage on 17 Ave is good. The rest of it is fine. I don’t really like that this perpetuates an alley entrance onto 17th. Would have been better if they could have purchased the building on the 5 Ave corner to have a single building across 17 Ave from 5 to 5a, and created an alley entrance...

    I'm guessing this is temporary in nature 🤷‍♂️?

    I didn’t realize there was 30 stalls off the loading dock ramp. I don’t think it changes the argument that this area can exist separate from on-site general parking, and general parking can be buried more than one level, or not exist at all.

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

    LOL. I don't think it was an argument, just debate. My point was not there shouldn't be on-site parking, it was that we shouldn't kid ourselves about who that parking serves (owners/players/staff/premium ticket holders), and that this shouldn't come at the cost of better design. We shouldn't...

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

    Yeah, I think someone counted 190 in the last design. My guess is that the new layout will have more stalls because the parkade area seems larger. The Parkade previously took up ~1/2 of the N wall on a smaller site and now takes up ~3/4 of the S wall on a larger site (keeping in mind that in...

    1. As noted by Duck Lightning, the site (now 10 ac) is larger (~40%) than it was previously. I would think there should now be room for a ramp (Edmonton buried it’s parking on a smaller site). There may be other constraints I’m not aware of (cost probably being the main driver), but space...

    The yellow is subtle enough the it doesn’t really bother me.
