That's what the article said. $119 increase over the year per residential household. Including fees. I wonder if there is any other ways the city can generate more income. Charge $5 to enter downtown during rush hour? Sell off a few corporate properties & businesses...

Thoughts on the new budget? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-2019-budget-first-blush-meeting-1.4905599 With a 8.2% unemployment rate I think we should be trying to attract new businesses to the city with a more competitive tax rate. Is it possible to cut certain programs or sell...

I like it! That would be nice to renovate some of those older blocks. 1. Renovation that stretch of older buildings on 7th ave 2. Rebuild the York Hotel 3. Renovation the St. Regis and the Legion 4. Build out more CRU's along 8th Ave.

Let's all pool our money together and buy it! :cool:

I thought it was being developed into a mixed use building.

Exactly.

Sorry, i don't count those types of cranes.

It would be nice if the developer could re-utilize the existing building somehow. It's kind of nice when an area keeps it's 'industrial feel' to it.

There was a neat building that was there before: https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0758957,-114.0625216,3a,60y,109.16h,82.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sSfoQ3FUmWxFifDLqUrZgnw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Reminds me of the old bottle depot in Inglewood.

Generic design. But at this point it all depends on materials.

That's be hilarious if 2nd and 5th were reconfigured to one-ways. I think the new cycling plan is suppose to be presented to council soon.

A cycle track is being proposed on 2nd street: https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/hdp.au.prod.app.cgy-engage.files/8315/4091/3888/18-00994824_2nd_Street_SW_Complete_Street_Plan_Overview.jpg I have mixed feelings about this. I'm not sure that it"s wise to convert 2nd street to a...

I think I found a possible one in Thorncliffe: https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.1080436,-114.0729119,3a,75y,295.82h,88.82t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sIIuKUGEGIMic9oNvCkXSyQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 I compared it with a satellite photo of 1957.

I was just thinking the same. I think the library will provide a nice link between Stephen ave and East Village.

Nah. Sell them all at market value like Vancouver did. It'll help us recoup the cost of the games.

IMHO this attitude has always been pervasive in Calgary. I think we're at the point in time where we can be a little pickier with design standards throughout the city. Population density is only half the battle in creating true urban vibrancy. If we really want to be serious about increasing...

Do you know of any other properties around the city that are like this?

Me too! It sucks that one of the buildings that are being demolished looks to be pre-WWII. https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0397924,-114.0732227,3a,70y,12.78h,87.49t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKPJIkLIY_SMyX25GoiQFlw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 It's a shame. There are so many empty lots in the inner city yet we...
