"We designed the building for multiple opportunities for future expansion" Was under pressure last time I talked to a specialist doctor there a decade ago. They're planning an inpatient expansion right now, the project was launched in 2023, and they're running a competition for consultants as...

Eventually. Innovation Quarter is in the docket first. Then the city needs to decide that its doing with Crowchild, and eventually, McMahon. TBH, it is too bad there wasn't more talk of land swaps with the field house. Enables phasing a bit more and a better end state where the field house and...

We've seen clearly that Ontario and BC haven't ramped in response the way Alberta has, despite higher prices. Canada as a whole produces fewer units than in the 70s, on a much larger base. If the entire country built like Alberta, there wouldn't be a housing crisis. Things can't turn on a dime...

An anglosphere problem really.

If they were dutch, it may have reminded them of Indonesia. Shell has big interests there even today.

The province when it estimates costs of resurfacing projects province wides does it in lane km for the yearly package for Treasury Board approval. After 5 ish years of working consistently they'll have done it from Stoney to Stoney. South of Stoney is in a current P3 from when it was built iirc.

Thats how things are priced, so yes.

in 2016 there were 400 staff in Calgary at HQ and 200 in Ottawa (assembly). So more Canadian staff than I expected tbh.

She wants the national parks to not exist any more, so not surprising that taking an adversarial attitude at every step happened and continues to.

To pay for the post Olympic round of renovations, the BC government provides $15 million a year, on top of an $8 million yearly operating subsidy. They're in the middle of a third renovation for FIFA, which is now estimated to be $176 million give or take 5 million. That would be a big cost...

Eventually we will need to just do it. I wonder what a 'minimal viable product' could look like (and cost). Something like a modern auto-stade where instead of trying to stack facilities to save land, facilities (like concessions, bathrooms) were spread out a bit to save money and make the...

Pretty impossible to do so give the number of events and ticket prices, plus the television contract. The CFL isn't an especially (or perhaps at all) profitable venture.

That makes moving the bus barns harder not easier. The land underneath is meant to pay for a good portion of new bus barns.

CFL would entail removals. If there have to retire a building that is only 7-10 years old, so be it.

If we figured out how to complete the vision of the Bow Trail Connector (connect 4 Ave east to Bow Trail west, and connect 5th Ave east with Bow Trail east), it would be much easier to do.

Lots of stations are close to road crossings, so platform modification it is. Replace all the platforms, and for others, replace platforms, elevators, and escalators. It would take a long time, and any savings over the very long term when the platforms came up for renewal, would be taken up...

Edmonton also was much more fiscally conservative in the 80s and 90s than Calgary, and ended up with much less stuff as a result. Pools, what eventually became the Arts Commons, City Hall (with office component), and LRT expansion all happened in Calgary and not in Edmonton because Calgary...

There are many things at play which drove that. It is entirely viable to build on 8th, but the businesses aren't going to like the tradeoffs that enable that, and if council starts imposing criteria on the project without understanding the cost of those requirements, the project would descend...

Exactly in the ultimate stage. so they could build a tunnel on 7th without interupting service, and run it without an OMC or delivery site on the Blue Line, and continue to run the rush hour NW to NE trains.
