That’s unfortunate, albeit expected

I sure hope it goes ahead! However with Wong there, this is probably dead i nthe water. Much better to have a parking lot for 'safety'....

This is why Calgary can't have nice things. Drive away development and investment.

That is incredibly unfortunate, I didn't know they rejected a plan. Shortsighted in my opinion.

More interested in getting re-elected than building Transit to help Calgarians and Calgary.

I can't recall seeing any renderings for this, but I am sure it will be nice, given what Truman has shown on other projects.

I agree completely on this. Gondek is not really serious about getting this project built at all, she is just trying to campaign against the UCP for her re-election. Plus when they shortened at the last minute last summer to create a train to nowhere project, I really lost all hope in the City...

Truman has applied for a re designation for 90 metres for this location. It looks like the NIMBYs are already out trying to stop it. I for one think this will be a brilliant addition to West District and Calgary as a whole. Hope this does not get denied like the recent one. I provided my...

Can’t wait to see all the development that will come downtown. Lots more vibrancy on the horizon. Wouldn’t mind seeing the numbers even higher, but I doubt that will happen 😂

Aren’t they preparing the third tower for West Village Towers?

Bit out of the loop on downtown and the population growth, but I just read that Calgarys Downtowns population grew from 38,663 in 2016 to 46,763 in 2021. That’s quite impressive, especially considering the downturn we experienced. I’m assuming the population now would be closer to 50,000 in...

Plenty of white collar workers take the train in Calgary though, that’s why the C Trains ridership is so high.

Would be a great alternative history to see a century of designs like this come to fruition in Calgary

That’s really impressive actually. It’s going to be great when it’s done! One thing I don’t quite understand however, why are we building such nice dense walkable neighbourhoods nowhere near transit? Maybe there will be a spur from the blue line going up to West District?

What’s the expected population of West District at full build out?

Oh okay. What’s the population of the area around Marda Loop? 10,000?

Well right now, 44,280 people live in the Marda Loop BIA. To me increasing the bus routes from there to other destinations in Calgary, especially as popular as Chinook Centre is, seems like a no brainer to me. Only 9% of the 44,280 take public transit to work, which is clogging the roads...

Calgary Transit would be able to get a lot more riders if they focused on expanding their bus routes and increasing service. Just one example, but why is there no bus going from Marda Loop to Chinook? With the ever expanding population, and only going to get even bigger, it’s a huge oversight by...

"We're excited to share the potential for a residential tower on-site, leveraging the existing foundation originally designed for a 64-story structure in 1981," the company said. "If developed, this project could further enhance the property's position as a dynamic, mixed-use destination...

Just saw this. Even though It’s from the summer, it’s good news for the future of public transit in Canada. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-public-transit-fund-permanent-infrastructure-program I particularly like this, ‘As a condition for both the Metro-Region Agreements and Baseline...
