    Is this CTV article correct that one of the four towers is not residential? https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/high-density-development-in-marda-loop-moves-ahead/

    Looks like provision for one, maybe two extra lanes. Isn't that section of Deerfoot eventually planned as a collector/distributor system?

    Does the Stephen Ave redesign consider a future subway? If utility work is planned, it should relocate utilities to areas thst would be unaffected by a future cut and cover tunnel

    What is going on with the Ivor Strong Bridge widening? Looks like the piers extend beyond the new southbound lanes. Is this for future expansion?

    Maybe not a canal, but an expansion of parkland along the Elbow

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    If that is a strategy, it is a bad one. Most of the swing ridings are in Calgary. As you pointed out, bike lanes have not generated much polarization in Calgary..Anti bike lane sentiment might motivate the rural base, which the UCP already ownsm If the UCP rudely wants to rattle Nenshi, it...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Opposition to bike lanes comes from ignorance. If someone takes the time to actually look at traffic flow, obvious opportunities exist to convert under-utilized vehicular lanes

    Stampede Station | 277.3m | 70s | Truman | NORR

    Wonder if the northbound lanes of the Macleod couplet could be converted to two way and the southbound lanes (aka 1st St SE) restricted to local traffic, pedestrians and bikes. Ideally, a Stephen Ave subway and 25rh Ave interchange would elimate other delays on Macleod so that reduced lanes...

    The night club was called Flipside and opened in the Fall of 1985. It only lasted about a year or so. Banzai Waterslide was dangerous by today' s standards but unremarkable to feral Gen X kids. The tube slide had a concrete bottom with expansion joints and a rough surface that would cause...

    Stampede Station | 277.3m | 70s | Truman | NORR

    Great to finally see development on that site. The original Stampede Station project was announced in 2000. Hopefully this provides the people to support street level restaurants and bars on the south side of the street from the BMO Center such that it becomes a true extension of 17th Ave...

    Calgary could be the fastest growing metro both by percentage and in raw numbers of the next few years. I could see Toronto, KW, Montreal and Vancouver going negative for a year or two.

    The first tower in this development is incremental supply, so it is not taking affordable units off the market. I think the proposed second tower would demolish the small walk-up[ building the west.
