As someone who has consulted on recent City streets project (not involved in this one). I highly doubt that this decision/change required going back to a councillor or even beyond one or two levels of managers. Without having any inside knowledge here, I suspect this was more of a case of...

The latest plans on the website show a two way bike path next to a sidewalk from 22 St to 20 St, and a multi-use pathway the rest of the way. Hopefully they clear the snow but that was something they didn't commit to during the info sessions.

They are building a multi-use pathway on the south side. I took a few photos before the snow.

Power poles are coming down on 34 Avenue today!

Thanks for the insight. Always appreciate your photo updates as well!

@MichaelS any idea when the City will re-open 81st street at the south end of West District? With all the new units and building construction along Broadcast Avenue, it seems like an additional access point will be needed soon

Thanks for keeping this updated Surreal! What do you use as a limit for greenfield vs non-greenfield? For example Shawnessy Station apartments are 16 km from downtown, where as the developments at Springbank Hill near Ambrose University / 17 Ave SW are just 10km from downtown. Both seem like a...

They are working on the sidewalks right now - probably need those to be usable to get occupancy.

Wood looks nice after the rain

I'm not a fan of the arena subsidy, but Salt Lake City just announced that they want an NHL expansion franchise and they have an arena that could accommodate NHL games. I bet they'd choose a relocated team over paying a $650 million+ expansion fee like Seattle. If there was still no arena deal...

Agree with all the points being made. It's unfortunate that Calgary Transit is such a strong opponent of any street safety or traffic calming measures that may require busses to slow down. As another example, here's an excerpt from the 2020 report on potential speed limit reductions, and the...

A raised crosswalk likely wasn't added here because of the transit route on 16 Street. Calgary Transit has been a staunch opponent of raised crosswalks or speed humps on any roads with bus routes, because their buses would either have to slow down (delaying them by seconds) or affect the user...

Crane for Sunalta Heights is coming down this morning.

I expect the City will be looking to develop a paved pathway connection through the park approximately as shown below (following the existing more gently sloped dirt pathway that already runs across the hill). This would be a great connection of a missing link between Cougar Ridge / West Springs...

Great to see the new Two House Brewing open and packed on a Friday night. But with just the one bike rack, over 20 people had to lock their bikes to a railing, sign, tree etc. I put in a 311 ticket asking the city to install more racks nearby and hopefully others will too - i've heard...

That pathway extension to connect to the Bow River at Edworthy is underway now!
