Will be curious to see if there is a list of projects that accompany this plan. Spending up to $250 million a year on rec facilities for the next 25 years seems like it would build a crap ton of new things. How much was the Y in Seton...

Also the City has updated the Green Line website with a new map. I like the fact they have finally telegraphed the intention to keep building beyond Stage 1 as part of the map.

I think it's a safe bet the UCP gives this the thumbs up and the Feds rubber stamp whatever business case is sent to them. The ultimate irony of course is that splitting the construction at 4th St into two procurement contracts was the plan back in 2019 and the UCP blocked it with their review...

Sucks for all those people in that other building with the north facing windows who are about to stare right at what I assume will be a blank wall

The only thing that bothers me is that the Max stops on Centre at 16th Ave and on Harvest Hills Blvd were kept out of the project scope for some reason so they are still the crappy regular bus shelters despite being some of the busier stops.

Apparently the old Greyhound Station in West Village is going to be converted into Calgary Transit offices and a municipal works depot. Interesting use of the land. Better than an empty, hulking building next to a CTrain station, much worse than what the potential is for that location if they...

We've speculated about this kind of thing on the forum before but thanks to this good piece of journalism from Livewire and their willingness to FOIP we seem to now have confirmation about how this flip flop went down....

Wasn't that SE corner supposed to be glass on the renderings and not grey cladding?

Is that a new report or something that's fallen into the dustbin?

The City won the blanket rezoning court challenge. It's funny how the Communities First Councillor (Chabot) says they'll bring forward a motion to repeal the blanket rezoning in favour of targeting density in key areas around things like transit and yet he and the other Communities First...

Doesn't seem like the UCP is very serious in getting this built given Council has been clear for the last month that they need to have meetings to get their questions answered to try and find a path forward.

I'm curious the occupancy rate of the residential units in TelusSky. We looked at them when the building opened and they were priced extremely high and had weird layouts. I kind of figured they would have a hard time filling them.

Great article by Ricky Leong today in the Sun...

Looks like there will be some reading for all of us to geek out on...

Pre-planning has definitely not taken place. AECOM was evaluating alignments and that's about it. If the City decides to move forward we probably have a minimum of 18 months of design and costing work before we know what this will look like and before the City can go to market again with a RFP...

Go home Triovest, you're drunk. The City of Calgary should purchase that entire block and take it out of the private sector's hands. It is a national historic district, restored with taxpayers dollars, the only block downtown with any sort of vitality and life to it and we are literally the only...

Biggest problem with all of this is that the City of Calgary is still on the hook for all cost over-runs and the UCP just handed them a map with a new alignment drawn on it and the most basic of costings included. Councillors have a fiduciary responsibility to both the corporation and taxpayers...

Speaking of Roger's Place. I've been to events there and the bathroom lines are horrendous so this seems a bit concerning....
