    Lights look great coming southbound on Deerfoot! All red tonight and super noticeable.

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    That assumes the line still goes West through Eau Claire, which I understand is likely nonnegotiable at this point in the project. Just an opportunity I saw with using the existing bridge, and possibly getting more of the line out of it. And if they'll be disrupting traffic patterns up top the...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    I don't know what those numbers look like, but other reductions in costs to consider as well. No readjusting the bluff side with either a portal or grading. Memorial and Bow River Pathways are left alone mostly (could improve the lower deck while they're at it). No re-landscaping Prince's Island...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Pretty neat lil history tidbit. I honestly think I've come around to the idea to just use the Centre Street Bridge, if it's going to run surface on Centre ST South of 16 AVE. Save the new bridge $$$ and get the line going North to 96 AVE and get the airport bird stoned too. Bus would be fine...

    Contemporary Calgary | ?m | ?s

    My bf and I went last night to check it out. Neither of us are really art buffs, but we spent about an hour and half there and saw everything. We both felt like it was the perfect amount to go through, and the time spent there felt about right. Mostly everything was interesting as well. Interior...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Ooofff, not sure I am happy about this. Might need to sleep on it lol. The added tunnel length is especially weird in that they moved the 16 Ave N station to surface. Seems like a big mistake to me, though I do appreciate the extended underground length in the Beltline. I hope they can figure...

    Thought I had read this here, but maybe not... The province has approved 12-storey mass timber buildings, and is reducing traditional stick frame from 6 to 4. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-wood-building-change-1.5440182

    That light wood coloured section with one screen on it - figure it'll be completely covered in screen, or store signage on the rest of it? You can see attachment brackets to the right of the current screen.

    Agreed, need to see more of this. Curtis block is kind of there.

    Does anyone by chance know who is doing the live-wall installation? Local company or not? I have recently gone back to school for horticulture, with interiorscaping as a career aspiration, and would love to get involved in projects like this in the future.

    Another potential solution to the insulation issue I see would be double or dual glazed (or whatever it's called) like the McKimmie retrofit, or the Bow.

    Maybe Pacific Place should've been massively redeveloped instead of building Horizon Mall ?

    M2 Block | ?m | 4s | XYC | Riddell Kurczaba

    I'd say a National would be best on the Riff - but there isn't really any possibility for that at this stage. M2 could work, but I think it should be slightly more tame than a National. (or maybe that's just due to my experiences at National ?)

    This wall feature is going to turn out pretty neat I think.
