In Ontario the provincial government took over building and operating of most new rail projects in all cities around Toronto under a provincial agency called Metrolinks (formerly GO Transit). The UCP wants to create a similar agency in Alberta to build and operate the new regional rail routes...

Personally I think we have a good long term plan. What I like: - Tunneled in the Beltline - Beltline alignment pushed south to 11th Ave as opposed to 10th as originally envisioned. - Shallow tunnel downtown with easily accessible stations from street level as opposed to 10 story deep stations...

I feel like all of these things can be true at the same time: - What we were promised in 2015 for $4.5 billion isn't close to what we are getting and that's a piss off. - There has been far too much delay and politics on what should be a straightforward transit project. - There is plenty of...

Had a chance to walk through the new BMO as part of Sneak a Peak at Stampede tonight. I have to say, the upper levels are beautifully done and the outdoor plaza works well as a gathering place. The only thing I didn't understand was in the new A halls they have put the washrooms outside the...

Had they continued the white brick for the siding, this exoskeleton would look pretty cool. With the grey siding they chose the main feature continues to be the grey siding which makes the exoskeleton fairly pointless in my view

Everyone's favourite plaza and Eau Claire all boarded up ready to face the wrecking ball....

Very exciting announcement. That being said, this hits one of my nerves about the way we approach naming things in Calgary. Our city has always done a very poor job at naming things in a way that will attract attention and draw the interest of tourists and other visitors. Studio Bell is...

Should make for some fun aircraft spotting at YYC next year!

Can't remember the name of the project but drove past that new apartment building at the corner of Edmonton Trail and Memorial Drive this morning and they were starting to install that exterior mesh or whatever it can be described as. Not sure if I like it or not.but could look cool once it's...

Nice pic of the project in this tweet. I have to say it's growing on me now that there's more white.

That roof just seems to be begging for solar panels.

Building officially opens tomorrow. The article almost implies that it will be possible for the public to check out the interior but offers no further details. I know the Stampede is offering free guided tours this coming Saturday as part of their community event at Enmax Park but I don't know...

Sounds like it was an issue of funding blocks. The latest update on the project website is from January of this year and says "Now that we have received funding for the next phase of construction, we are aiming to have all construction on the Eau Claire Plaza completed in 2025. In the meantime...

Alexis is all about making money and the 787s have yet to prove they can turn a profit 12 months of the year. It's easy to make money to Europe in the summer with wide-bodies but then you have to figure out what to do with them the other 7 months of the year to keep the profitable. I've been...

The house is further back from the lagoon and the pathway than I thought it was going to be. Still a much better location for it than where it was before though.

Windows are going in

Agreed. The posters on the concrete are a very cool touch. Still really wish they had places a water feature in the plaza. The tarmac is so hot during Stampede it's nice to have some sort of water feature to be close to and to contrast that.

Some further details on Mikey's. I didn't even comment the dots that they were located in this same building. Also, this is a Strategic Group project? Didn't they just pause the Baron Building conversion because they had no cash...

SAM Centre by Stampede Park and a bonus horse statue picture because I know how much everyone here loves them 😄 Building seems nice and will probably see more activity once the new arena is built, provided the design doesn't turn its back to the eastern side. My one comment only is that it's...
