Nice to see this program turning into a success. I think there's also 1 office to hotel conversion underway as well if I'm not mistaken? "There are 11 office-to-residential conversions currently underway, creating 1,498 new homes for roughly 2,400 future downtown residents."...

So Dreeshen can't give any examples of bike lanes in Calgary he hates but he definitely knows he'll hate some...

The UCP have now made an anti bike lane video and are paying to run it as an ad on Twitter. This government drives me nuts... which I'm sure is the entire point of this as they hope to change the channel on their health care procurement scandals and create wedge issues for conservative parties...

Looks like the UCP is borrowing a page out of the Doug Ford populist playbook and want to go to war against bike lanes heading into the next municipal election. I'm sure they'll be targeting a Calgary project next. The odds of seeing the 1st St SE cycletrack come into existence when the MNP...

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not but was watching the Flames game tonight on Sportsnet and there was an add for The Kenten that featured a banner saying it is 50% sold and that construction begins in June.

If there was a land swap that happened to officially make the land Calgary Parks that's good news! I wasn't aware that had happened. Last I knew was that the City had a signed a lease deal for the land in order to install the basketball court but the land was still zoned for a high rise...

Great news about the UofC. Hopefully the City finds a way to finally purchase the part of Centennial Gardens where the grass and basketball court is. With all those students headed to the area, it would be a shame to lose a good chunk of activity and green space to another development

This is my big concern as well. If they don't include an ice plant it says to me that the designers never properly understood why people came to enjoy Olympic Plaza in the winter. Yes, the rink provided nice ambiance and a picturesque setting however it was also pretty much the only outdoor rink...

I think the Sunflake tree is an artistic take on the Calgary 88 Olympics symbol...

Eau Claire Plaza

Looks like we missed each other by a few hours! I attended a CSEC event for season ticker holders that was supposed to be all about introducing them to Scotia Place. There have been more renderings and videos shared on this forum than were shared at the event and far more detailed information...

I almost hope not... it's such a terrible design for such a premier location. I really wish the City of Calgary had baked in some design standards when they sold the property.

I'm still worried about the skating rink! 😄 My concern is that any flat surface can be made into a skating rink if it's cold enough. To my knowledge Olympic Plaza was the only outdoor rink in the city that had an ice plant to chill the rink. It meant that when almost any other outdoor rink in...

Looks like there could be some more density coming to the Edmonton Trail couplette. Hopefully there are actual projects attached to this and it's not just an upzoning/land flip exercise. https://www.engage4thstreet.com/

Mad Max?

Drove by this one today. I was surprised at how much of a setback exists from the Elbow River. I figured this would have been built almost right up to the river's edge.

It's for private developer use. Essentially the idea is to save time and money for getting new infills approved which should open it up to more smaller builders. Future federal infrastructure funding for provinces is meant to be tied to provincial governments approving the designs. Some more...

The Feds just dropped their housing catalogue. I'll be curious to learn how well their design choices function with Calgary's existing zoning and whether Admin and builders adopt the designs...
