I still think connecting via the blue line is fine IMO. Going from the YVR to Waterfront is ~30min. Copenhagen airport is like ~17min with the new line, but used to be like 25-30min to Kongens Nytorv (what i'd consider central). If we could get blue line service from YYC to downtown inside of...

Just connect the blue line to the airport via 60 St > Airport Trail > Barlow Trail. It doesn't have to be this hard.

I really do not understand why we even have parking restrictions on 10 Street NW or why the BIA in the area wouldn't want to get rid of it. Peak hours are also the time that most people would be stopping for dinner or to patronize the shops on weekdays. Don't restrict on-street parking on 10...

Will love to see Hardie Panel and Easy Trim random triangles. Yeesh

Sounds like this will be sitting for a while then.

Who is the landowner here? For some reason i had in my head that it was Hines? I wonder if this could be the next multi-phase project they go after: https://renx.ca/hines-bullish-canada-cre-returns-outstrip-other-countries

Last one i did i reached out to Anna Maclaren at BUMP. Pricing was fair and they can set you up with an artist that aligns with the style you're looking for. I kept the design brief open ended to see what they would do, but you can add whatever detail you'd like.

Is the entire front courtyard a fucking Parkade ramp? This is a confusing site plan

Absolutely hideous architecture. Cedarglen wins for the absolute worst looking multi in the City.

Where would you ever find the space for more pedestrian refuge to shorten crossing distances at Glenmore and Macleod? Everyone needs a nearly 8m wide turning lane, 💩. Are mobility engineers even doing there job if they aren't making pedestrians have to defy death by crossing an intersection...

Wish this went recessed balconies and residential when it switched owners

I honestly think the airport connector is easy if you use mostly existing road ROWs. Extend from Saddletowne Station north along 60St NE (on the westside of the street). Then run on the southside of Airport Trail. Run the two trains on the two southern most lanes through the Airport Tunnel...

Anyone know what the exterior materials are? Stucco or Hardie Panel and reveals?

Few things. how do you do street-oriented commercial and multi-residential units with these big-ass streets that surround the site? I assume you orient active uses internally? A consistent problem of mobility overclassifying streets and designs that place automobility first and everything else...

Only got one. smaller tower ✅ somehow built yet another surface parking lot downtown 🤨 basically just rearranged the surface parking from the previous configuration.

You're absolutely correct, I don't want to see another York Hotel issue. I think the City needs to also consider what is happening with the St Regis Hotel. It has been sitting and degrading since the construction of the Bow Tower when it was used as site offices. I fear the building owner will...

Do spill the cream IceCreamMan. 💅

Really need Bosa to get going on some of the mixed-use buildings in the central area. With the next round of multi-family developments getting occupied they have sufficient rooftops to support the retail soon. Also the offices to the SE have decent occupancy that could support some daytime...

Must be something for the commemoration of this building:

I really wish we had some Urban Design Guidelines that builders needed to adhere to, especially on larger projects. I mean even just for the podium or first 2-3 storeys. Something along the lines of the Toronto Tall Building Design Guidelines or there Low-Rise Infill Guidelines. As it sits...
