Europeans run street cars through traffic circles sometimes. But probably not with a 90 degree turn in a small circle. I'd guess the city would have to tunnel under the interchange.

At least the saving grace for these is the podium is easier to fix in the future, at least compared to a tower.

Way too much surface parking!

Surprisingly urban. Better than I'd expected!

My guess for these ones on 24th is that there must have been a ruling on the restrictive covenant that allowed them to proceed.

Where did you hear they may have gone bankrupt?

Why does the developer think this will be successful? It took forever for the Concorde condos across the river to sell.

Yep, this lot has had a for sale sign for about a month unfortunately.

It's starting to look more residential.

I hate to agree with NIMBYs but I do agree with the power pole issues.

Gives me similar vibes of South Bank, but not quite as nice as South Bank. https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/database/projects/south-bank.29688

I really look forward to their removal. On a related note, does anyone have stats on relative reliability / uptime of power for buried vs overhead lines? I lived in the GTA for a short period of time, and there seemed to be way more power outages due to storms knocking down overhead wires than...

I really wish they started with an infill ctrain station, and the redevelopment closer to the ctrain. Then it wouldn't be ridiculously car dependent apartments that are getting built.

I also think it's important to point out that the last location would have benefitted from having two ctrain lines accessible. Any of the alternatives that I've seen talked about would only really have one line within walking distance.

There was a plan for a lower density phase 2 for Westman Village that they have planned to the south of the current one. Not sure what happened to that plan. Maybe just on hold while they sell off the condos they have already built in Phase 1.

Good to hear it's better on the ground than it looks on the trip planner.

I wish they could have moved the Red's building back a bit from 4th for a wider sidewalk, but this is still good.

I'm surprised how slowly this one progressed, even though Centron's high rise (Oliver) progressed quite fast.

There are entire suburban communities with just one exit, such as Valley Ridge (and Crestmont until recently). That being said, the transit situation here is sad. They have to have two transfers to get downtown, or go quite a bit out of their way to the north to get the train for just one transfer.
