Personally I prefer the new blue and white. I'm not a fan of that tone of beige/brown, it's the same color the city is for 6 months of the year.

If they keep the arches along the bottom of that Barclay proposal, it'll look interesting at the street level. It's a shame the windows had to change, but I guess we all knew that was coming.

That's great news. I was beginning to wonder if this one was going to go.

Definitely complicated. The other approach would be to try and combat the root of the issue, in the end another approach that is difficult to solve and comes with costs.

It also mentions carbon capture as part of the project. How much and how effective I can't say, but having carbon capture involved mitigates the emissions issue.

I don't believe the screening would be an issue TBH. We already do screening for various subsidized housing. This would be a level down from the current housing options that have screening, but the precedent exists. You're probably right about the advocacy groups complaining. I agree about the...

Downtown has such great potential with lots of things coming together for improvement. If we can get a reasonable handle on the homeless issue, downtown would explode.

Dollarama wouldn't fit the vibe per se, but at some point neighborhoods hit population a level where they need businesses for the everyday folks.

For sure. At some point a decision has to be made with what to do with those who can't be helped. I mentioned forced rehab, mainly because it's probably the best of the remaining solutions. Other options would be jail or left on the street. Neither of those are better. Some question people's...

100% needs to be paired with treatment, also I strongly believe that screening needs to be done before housing people. There's no point in putting someone who's beyond help or extremely difficult to help, into a home. Not only does it not help that type of person, but it ruins it for others who...

I agree not everyone will be able to be helped, but getting a proper housing program going, and see who's left after we've worked the housing program will get us a step further than we are. It'll be frustrating for a while. Homes will be damaged and abused, etc.. and it will be hard for the...

It probably doesn't feel hotter because it isn't necessarily hotter. It's hotter in the sense that prices and sales volume have been rising lately, whereas Calgary's prices and sales volume have levelled off. This is a normal cycle for the two cities, typically Calgary's prices take a sharp rise...

Gravity's done a lot of work around Calgary. Sad for the loss.

https://globalnews.ca/news/11329240/calgary-marda-gras-festival-2025/ I don't know if any Marda Loopians? (Marda Loopers? Marda Loopans?) attended Marda Gras this year. Curious it was?

I'd so love to see more of these types of buildings. Has the total Tokyo vibe going.

I think you're right. The numbers are less than the overall transborder numbers, so that makes sense.

Here are renderings again but larger, in case anyone wants to disappointed in high res.

Agreed. The previous design was much better, at this point it's a case of it still being better than what's there now, but still disappointing.

Just to make sure I'm reading these graphs correctly. The graph on the left is all US bound passengers originating from southern Alberta (YYC only) and not including connecting passengers. The graph on the right is the total US citizens bound for YYC, and not including connections to other...
