I love the 1st example. Wish I knew how to garden/landscape as I’d love to turn my yard into something similar. I did plant vines and trees, but all but one died. At least my bushes remain lol

Easy fix - stop giving voice to the retards. Or if you do, mock and shame them.

I find American Elm (like pictured at bottom), don’t grow very fast in Calgary. Now if they plant Swedish Aspens or Norwegian Spruce, it’d look a lot more impressive in 10 years.

That’s great to see! Quick question, what is Belvedere Landing? I haven’t heard of this before. That’s a decent sized suburban development

You would never be able to build anything ever with that kind of outlook. There will always be those opposed to anything. Just ignore them.

Well Berlin, Copenhagen etc put elevated tracks in existing urban areas and it absolutely doesn’t detract from vibrancy. Not sure what makes Calgary special that they’re above elevated. It’s either elevated or nothing. Increased development due to Transit going there can also increase...

The way to ensure that transit will never get built in Calgary is to over engineer it to perfection. Build what you can, not what you dream of.

Hope so. I see Calgary politicians rallying against the province as Smith is a demagogue. It’s easy political posturing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it costs us the Green Line.

I am not sure if you’re being facetious or not but I’ll bite. It will drive more people to the area. More businesses can support the increased people arriving by transit, it makes it more walkable. There are high rises all around, there are ALREADY shadows. You live in a city, and it’s the...

Chicago is elevated downtown. It was nice living there. Sure it’s rickety and old, but that’s not a problem Calgary will face Calgary has too many negative Nancies. Just support mass rapid transit cmon. It’ll invigorate 10th Ave (just ignore naysayers who can’t their dream).

I dunno it works fine in Tokyo, Taipei, Bangkok etc. Plus Chicago, and we’d have a much more modern and quiet system.

Im just on board with getting it build and not on the street. Pretty basic. Elevated is perfectly fine, other cities manage to do it and it’s great. Calgary isn’t special, no need to reinvent the wheel or choose subway if it’s far too expensive. The most track for your dollar is what I support.

Wonder how this being fully developed will effect the family naturist beach right near there in Weaselhead. Maybe make it more popular for people?

Exactly. That’s what I am being, rational and realistic. Not sure how elevated isn’t?

They are. Modern technology is a lot better than the L train in Chicago. People are just being negative for the sake of being negative because it’s the calgarian way.

The same, it just needs more development. Elevated lines don’t kill vibrancy. You know what does? Cars and traffic.

It would be pretty awesome to have elevated NGL. It can add some vibrancy to the street level.

It can easily be turned into an asset if they start building amenities. They won’t of course being Canada, they’d prefer parking lots and 4 lane streets for cars instead downtown.

I’ve been to Japan. Elevated rail is perfectly fine for urban areas. Calm down there Karen. Underground is dead and isn’t coming back. Time to ensure it’s elevated and not street level.
