I'm going to go against the grain and say, build it as planned. IMO, this is one of those locations where you might as well pound in the density. The parcel is good for little else, given the way it is cut off from everything by the river and the Macleods. It's only 300m away from the Victoria...

This would also be my pick if it was up to me. This would be the order I'd go with.. 1 - Connaught Gardens 2 - Fishmans 3 - First and Park 4 - 4th street Lofts 5 - 526 - 4th ave.

I would guess it was the change of being able to go up to 6 floors with wood.

The north hill has a fairly large area made up of grid streets. It's the perfect place for increased density.

I like some of the ideas that were mentioned in the article. Don't know if they're feasible or not - vertical greenhouses for example - but it's nice to see ideas outside of the box. Affordable housing is something that might work also. It mentioned Sait taking over some space. Gotta keep these...

Definitely going ahead.

Exactly it. Polls don't really mean a whole lot, but they give a general idea of what's going on. Looking at recent polls you can reliably rule out Brad Field and Jan Damery, and probably even Davison, as they are all at l;east consistent on who the front runners are. Other than that it's a...

Same guy.

Either way, the next election can't come soon enough. We could end up with some in charge who is more extreme than Kenny (an Angela Pitt, Peter Guthrie type lunatic), but there may be a positive side to that. The party could alienate urban voters even further, than it has and they could find...

Just got that lol.

Just remember to get dressed afterwards ;)

I would agree that it's better to wait if it's a more strategic location, like Westbrook, Brentwood, Chinook for example. This location I don't care about as much, and I agree with Alexyyc that possibility for a good TOD was ruined when they built the Superstore and designed the surrounding...

The food's good there, and yes so is the beer :) To your point about these pop up patios. It's always nice to have patios along the main street corridor, but these parking lot patios are great too.

There's a development permit for storage space as part of the school next door.

Even more so after seeing the courtyard. It has a bit of that prison look to it, but overall I like the fact they incorporated a courtyard. It's something we don't much of in Canada.

That makes sense. If the developments were further north in Bridgeland along 1st ave or more north we might see more resistance. Even then, iirc there was resistance from the CA against Dominion. Maybe that's standard fare for all inner city community associations, I mean I'm pro-development...

Nice to see Westjet hit some more routes in Europe, though they'll be competing with KLM. Having the extra capacity to AMS may also induce more demand as people in other cities may choose to use Westjet through Calgary, rather than say, AC to Vancouver or Toronto and then onto AMS.

The tall slenderness of the Dorian is awesome. I wish we had more towers like that.

Nice lens compression!

In all my years living in Calgary, I've never known anyone to grow Broccoli before. I didn't know you could grow it here.
