I support bike lanes, especially the ones we have, but this is a terrible ruling that will be overturned. And is part of the activist judiciary that doesn’t understand their role. If this stands, then can someone sue for a reduction in the healthcare budget? Sue to stop an aging hospital from...

I fear this will turn into another National Music Centre. I know the sun isn’t great for museums, but most modern museums have light filled hallways with darker rooms for the actual art. Like the Royal Alberta Museum looks so much more welcoming

Are there strings attached to the funding? Seems odd to not apply even if it’s not needed for the project to pencil out

I agree there are consequences to increase the flow on this stretch, but to suggest there is no benefit and it only shuffles the congestion is not accurate. There’s significantly more lanes at Crowchild North. If they improved flow here, the north part of Crowchild would be better utilized...

The FreshCo signs are up! Similar size to the No Frills in WVT

I don't think it's just townhouses, it's just an age thing. Most of these meetings are during the day, which basically limit it to retirees. Someone living in the townhouse is at work so they don't have time to go down to city hall or to the media to complain

Sorry forgot the header, but it goes from 1 bed, M/M, Y/Y, then two bed. https://rentals.ca/national-rent-report

One big difference is the pace of housing construction relative to new arrivals and how rents may shoot up briefly in Calgary or AB in general, but the market structure allows it to correct very quickly. Looking at 2 bed rents, here's the cities comparable to Calgary and honestly I'd take it...

But isn't that how you achieve connectivity? When there's Deerfoot and Crowchild and Sarcee feeding into it? Not to mention being one of the main E-W connectors? Have there been more fatalities on Glenmore than elsewhere? I know the one last Christmas happened there but as sad as that was, it...

Some of that seems to be city land already (purple) so there isn't really a tax loss. And the impact on the N-W lot is pretty minimal as it's parking for Co-op liquor. I see your point with the 2nd Ave retail. In the grand scheme of things it's pretty minimal, and there's a lot of opportunities...

Not sure if I’m understanding correctly, but the plan is to elevate the E-W connection and drop Crowchild deeper. Similar to 33rd Ave at Marda Loop. There may be some loss but the main retail at that spot is the car wash and gas station. I’d argue if this was done the pedestrian retail would...

It's also data by the airport. Because thunderstorms are so localized, it might already be the wettest overall for the city, just not at the airport.

The irony... maybe he should've biked. And a city councilor dressed in a suit pointing at his giant white truck parked in a downtown city centre. He needed that whole flatbed to carry some documents.. https://globalnews.ca/news/11307548/calgary-councillor-truck-damaged-east-village/

Maybe the Olympics? It won't be in time for 2026 hockey, but I can see that being the one time.

The ridiculousness of this type of thought in Calgary is we are explicitly not replacing car lanes with bike lanes. The major downtown one-ways, untouched, major arterial roads, untouched. Most cities of our size, would've had bike lanes on 17th already. I think the city should really be less...

We won't be able to compete, especially with the recent tax changes that further reduce transfers, the wealth inequality will only grow in the US and we won't be able to keep up. Sports team aren't driven by the city, but the 10% of the city that would actually go to the game. And as those...

The same people that complain their neighborhood is overtaken by "luxury" condos and not affordable at all. When they'd be protesting even louder if it was low income housing.

I sure hope it starts. But these seem like concepts. To actually start building something, I assume it'll be at least a 1-2 year design and acquisition phase?

I think it depends also on the age of the station? Newer stations probably have better barriers, whereas old ones like the North Hill Sears was just seeping gas for decades.

The transportation right of way is definitely a factor. Most of Toronto and Vancouver's suburbs don't have large setback arterial roads like Shaganappi, Sarcee, John Laurie. And where they intersect, the amount of land used is huge. One big thing I noticed with the @ByeByeBaby's density maps is...
