I haven't seen people running red lights but I have seen about half a dozen people treating a red light as a stop sign in off-peak hours over the last few months which has been a bizarre thing I've never seen before.

I think the two pieces still to come at Eau Claire Plaza will really help elevate the experience. #1 - A tenant moving into the Eau Claire Lumber Company building. People having somewhere to grab coffees and sandwiches and a nice patio to enjoy them on will help with the vibe. #2 - The opening...

Interesting stats from this article on the bike lane debate. Really goes to show this is about trying to tap in to rage about how people feel bike lanes impact them versus the facts on how they actually do impact them. Personally, it pisses me off when governments make policy due to the feels...

Any renderings of the Sunnyside project mentioned in the article?

"In 2011, Calgary city hall rolled out a cycling strategy “to become one of the premier cycling cities in North America.” That strategy set a goal of building 30 kilometres of protected cycle tracks, “physically separated from traffic and pedestrians,” by 2020. Five years after that target...

Weren't these projects supposed to have some sort of affordable housing component to be eligible for the subsidies or am I mis-remembering it? Can't see these rental prices as meeting that threshold

What is the difference between a PSL and season tickets? Does the PSL just offer you access to every single event in the building throughout the year? Is it an annual thing or a forever thing?

100% with this government they will wait until after the municipal election to resurface Deerfoot since most Calgarians are unaware that Deerfoot is a provincial responsibility and will instead blame Gondek and Council for problems created by the province. If Calgary elects a conservative mayor...

Is the Co-op going to be a similar size to the one there now? Shopped at the existing one this afternoon and the new space looks smaller than the current building but I also know these things are pretty difficult to perceive just by eyeballing things from the outside.

What will it take to finally get a grocery store in the east beltline? It would seem to me that with the number of projects going in here, it would make sense to have something within walking distance.

Seems like a reasonable compromise...

Some minor renos happening to Stampede Park along with the start of work for a new master plan... "The Stampede has also hired global architectural firm Populous for a two-year term to study the park and surrounding connectors of 17 Avenue and the Culture and Entertainment district... ...A...

I'm genuinely surprised at how few people showed up to speak against it... wouldn't be surprised if it's a summer time thing... In terms of the number of Councillors voting for it... call me cynical, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Truman is local and the guy who runs it...

Here's the rendering for the block in question. I'm not really blown away by what they are proposing but I also think the businesses along the street wanting to preserve automobile access is an outdated way of thinking and takes away from the street instead of adding to it. I do agree with their...

This province exhausts me sometimes.... Wish the UCP's loyal scribe would actually do something to hold the government to account instead of indulging every one of their distraction strategies...

This is a bit wonkish, but my understanding is most multi-family rental projects use the CMHC MLI Select program to finance constructions. I wonder if the decision to increase rates will have a cooling effect on new projects in Calgary or if people who have been sitting permits will race to try...

Here comes the UCP and their Council stooges, right on cue.... https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/danielle-smith-government-calgary-bike-lanes

In terms of Stephen Ave, the issue as I see it is that these businesses are going to push the City into repeating their past mistakes with 17th Ave and Marda Loop. In both cases the initial plan was a fast and furious rebuild of the street. Then the businesses along there complained that it...

As we were all celebrating the new hotel proposal, a bunch of Calgary businesses are threatening to sue to stop the Stephen Avenue redevelopment in its tracks. https://livewirecalgary.com/2025/07/02/stephen-avenue-biz-owners-threaten-legal-action-over-redevelopment-work/
