And now we dig !

^As does DiscoStu.

Not sure where to post this so feel free to move it. A quick history of LA but explains how & why NA cities of this vintage “sprawl”.

^I sure hope you’re right on that.

Wonder what the buttressing is for - are those walls going to be exposed ?

I thought the exact same thing.

I like the plaza design - seems they have put a lot of thought into the design, function, details etc. That new performing arts building however seems to get worse every time I see see it. If that exterior is natural wood left to weather to a depressing grey color it’s going to be brutal IMO.

Anyone know what the work currently happening in the south parking lot of North Hill Mall is related to ? They appeared to be replacing underground pipe. Is it simply utilities upgrade/maintenance or is in preparation for some kind of redevelopment ?

I think paving the lot would be an improvement - I wouldn’t oppose.

Count me as another one who doesn’t like the long, hyphenated station names, it’s just stupid. And why isn’t Banff Trail called “Stadium” ?

^Yeah - I kinda remember that now that you mention it.

It really is. Is it because energy code ?

IMO - Yes.

Me too. I always wished the City had protected the treed broadcast/Sarcee Tr. hill on the west side of the City instead of the bald-ass Nose Hill.

Exciting times for residential builds in Calgary !

Thanks for the excavated soil article. I see double trailer trucks every morning turning from 11th Ave. WB to MacLeod Tr. SB.

Wow - even the City’s website makes it sound like the City is totally on-board (pardon the pun) with the Province’s plan and everything is hunky-dory: https://www.calgary.ca/green-line/about/project-status.html

The concrete columns and slabs look skinny/thin.

^ Yeah - me too.

^Well said CT - I don’t have anything to add to that.
