Halfway through the third I thought - here we go again :( I left the game to go pick up my daughter and when I got back I saw they had won :)

I saw the west side of the building in the sun yesterday and it looked good. Not as shiny as some might have expected, but it looked good IMO. I'm feeling much more confident about how the final product will look.

It’s unfortunate, but it happens. Usually, I find the smaller businesses that get wedged out end up somewhere else in the city.

Are there any plans to do anything with the lot, after demolition?

A rooftop patio pub would be great.

It’s green space, but it’s not usable. From what I remember it’s all cemetery’ space. If I had it my way I would develop half of it, and convert the other half to park space.

I agree with Alex, if we’re going to revitalize, now is the time to do it. It’s much easier to revitalize a Downtown that’s already half revitalized, then it is trying to revitalize one that’s dead. We’re at a dangerous point right now with downtown, if we let it go it could sink to a point of...

The Habs would be a good fit, but they’re still early in their rebuild. If they were two years further in, Huby would be a great fit.

Calgary has a little over a half million dwellings and at five dollars a month that would be around $12 or 13 million a year (rough estimate of course). If 2000 trees cost the city $90,000, you could easily do 200,000 trees in one year. That would be far more than people would need, but the city...

5/1s will become popular in tropical countries too. They’re the way to do density without building high rise towers and is a decent compromise for buyers and builders. I’ve seen them in Malaysia and Indonesia. Different style of buildings that look more like a 1990s pointe of view project, but...

Great photos Urbanwarrior. Looking forward to summer!

If business demand is there, the owners of the Backlot should be able to set up again in a new location.

I wouldn’t say virtually nil. Not likely, but anything’s possible. Major markets still left would be Houston, Portland, Cleveland, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Cincinnati, San Diego , Orlando, Baltimore or Salt Lake. I purposefully left out Atlanta. Houston, Portland, Orlando and...

Judging by the update from today, nope they aren’t. Lol. I’m getting a suspicion there is one construction crew doing all of the low rise builds in the city.

I through downtown three or four times a week, but I would be OK with giving the LRT complete right of way. When I travel through downtown, it’s usually mid day off peak hours, and so often I see the train stopped at a red light, only so a handful of cars can pass through. There’s no question in...

I hope the city extends the cycle track on 5th. As it stands right now, it’s a safety hazard. I don’t ride there as a cyclist, but I do drive up and down that road often and I’ve seen cars almost knock cyclists over due to the lack of space. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

Yup I don’t think it’ll be up there too much longer.

I’m also curious about the numbers, and I’m wondering if there are actually less homeless people out there. Trying to do a census on homeless people is difficult, because nobody knows where they are at all times. They mention doing a ‘point in time count’ but you have to question how accurate...

Exactly, if people can’t visit Cold garden or Ol beautiful because that parking lot is gone, then they have bigger things to worry about and like SP said, they can always incorporate city Parkade underground with the development. Not that I love extra parking everywhere, but it wouldn’t be the...

So, add another 20 years to when the green line is finished. 2070 then, well, my grandkids will be able to visit the new improved market.
