Development near the west LRT stations has been slow to get going but it is happening right now as we speak. TODs along Centre street would be done the way they are supposed to be done. A collection of small to medium sized buildings scattered in proximity to the stations, like we’ve seen in...

Sorry I meant 96th. I get it mixed up with Country Hills. Lol Once it hits that area things pick up, but until then it’s a train that’s disconnected from any kind of urban fabric.

That’s two years after it opened though. Not exactly enough time to create a TOD right? Since that time some new developments have sprung up around Shaganappi point, Same with Westbrook which will have higher numbers now. Also there’s a golf course on the north side of Shag Point and thus no...

Crowchild itself doesn’t have a walkable atmosphere, but there is a lot within walking distances from the stations. A university, 3 shopping nodes and thousands of people, and they were already there before the line was built. There’s nothing along the Nose Creek route until you get out to...

A route through Nose Creek wouldn’t have the same characteristics as why the other lines. Not in any way really, the closest similarity would be some parts of the initial redline to the south where it goes through some industrial areas, but there are no similarities with the other lines.

I agree with what others have said about the train going to the deep SE, it runs through areas with low population, and if it were up to me, I would have the southeast leg go as far as Quarry Park and end there initially. The difference with the SE compared to Nose Creek is at the middle vein of...

I don’t know if anyone else here lives in the neighborhood, but I know many of us feel your pain. Early in the development stages the master plan looked overly ambitious, but still promising, especially given its proximity to Marda loop. I don’t know what the difference is with University...

I don’t know if anyone watched the debate last night. I don’t actually care that much about US politics but I can’t stand Trump so I have to say it was entertaining watching Harris mop the floor with Trump. I don’t know if anyone here is a Trump supporter, but for anyone who is, last night’s...

Trying to think of what’s been built since 2021 in the Beltline and this is what I can think of of the top of my head. BLVD Park Central Oliver 11&11 Nude The Hat 1400 Underwood The one on 5th street and 17th

The bike lane could start at 11th street and go east from there. Would work well especially after 11street underpass gets done and the 11th is proper bike lane.

OK, fair enough, it looked like it was meant to be trolling, but since it wasn’t we can carry on with the discussion. As I mentioned earlier, unfortunately, this won’t likely ever get built.l, and maybe that’s a good thing. A tower this tall, mixed use would be better rather than a big office tower.

As far as the pedestrian bridge, I have a couple of questions. When does it open, and who will be the first SRC dude to cross it? Nightryder or Surreal?

It’s a combination of the oil industry and Banff tourism. Tourists were coming from all over including as far as Europe direct to Calgary long before the 90s and not just during the summer. Direct flights in from the US were fairly busy even in winter with skiers coming from the US.. obviously...

I could see it becoming a mini version of Metrotown. The North Hill site is only a fraction of the size of Metrotown, but it could be similar, only on a smaller scale. That parcel is begging for some development.

It’s not the most beautiful project from an architectural standpoint, but IMO this is a near complete win. Adding affordable housing on an empty lot that wasn’t being used for anything, and incorporating a new fire station, alone is big improvement
