Couldn't the entirety of Greenview Indutrial, Fox Hollow Golf Course and municipal Spring Gardens sites to redeveloped into tens of thousands of units. Could also addin the planned Midfield redevelopment. LRT up Centre is a pipe dream. If the estimate to build 7 stations from Eau Claire to...

Which project is this? RIP Hooker Mac's

Is anything planned for the empty lot directly across 17th?

Heard that the parcel to the east of the strip mall/south of the park and ride in Douglas Glen is being serviced. At one time, a large condo project was planned there. Unsure what is going in.

Nowhere nead bad as for North American transit projects.

The difference is that the highway interchange can be delivered on-time and on-budget with measurable benefits. The Green Line plans have been shambolic since 2015.

Proposals for these land blocks have been leading indicator of economic slowdown

It was always a farce. The project was doomed out of the gate when City Council mused about building the entire north the south line and boring tunnels under the river for the original $4.5B budget. Council was either incredibly naive or intentionally misleading. If it was the later, it should...

How would you prioritize improvements to "unsafe infrastructure" given thst it exists everywhere and the backlog would take decades to work through?

It was the other way around. Banff tourism was relatively small until the 90's as Calgary is far away from everywhere. Many of the hotels were summer operation only until to 80's. The oil industry achieved critical mass in the 70's as Calgary had the engineering and financial talent, and...

Yoho would be easy except for the Big Hill and the 4km section of fill leading into Field. I'm unsure if additional fill to accomidate 4 lanes would pass environmental review. The Big Hill would take considerable blasting. I have no idea how they would widen through the snow sheds in Rogers...

...and Calgary was supposedly finished in the 2020's due to devastating self-inflicted droughts, energy transition and failure to align with Laurentian political direction

Calgary has the worst geography of any large city in Canada as it is not located at a natural break-in-bulk point. The only other sizeable Canada cities not located as such are Kelowna and Regina. A break-in-bulk point is a place where goods are transferred from one mode of transport to another...

Calgary's growth would likely look even more impressive if those numbers used historical populations of current CMA boundraries. Edmonton and especially Ottawa always had substantial population in adjacent towns.

You want small units with low ceilings priced at $1,500 per sq ft?

I did second grade at the MacDougall School dt. At the time, the entire lot was paved and called a playground. Times were different as all kids walked to school through dt.
