ooooooooohhhh ok now I get it. I guess it's not stupid

Some updates from CMLC. https://www.calgarymlc.ca/articles/construction-start-albert-park-radisson-heights-attainable-housing-development Anderson, fish Creek Lacombe, and Dalhousie stations have been selected for "transit oriented communities" There are also some interesting EV updates. Are...

I always thought the C of Red was used to refer to the fans inside the arena. Those viewing outside the arena can have another (equally cool) name. The "fire pit" is cool, but yes kind of ripping off Edmonton (even though our name would make sense and theirs is stupid)

The MAX lines are completely useless if they don't have priority and ideally grade separation along their entire route. It's ridiculous that they're considered rapid transit

My expectations for the quality of cladding couldn't possibly be lower. However, assuming their quality isn't too bad, I would love to see a million more of these. What a great building typology for the area.

I'm aware it was originally designed as a highway. That doesn't change the fact that it is now redundant and should be redesigned

Blackfoot Trail takes up an obscene amount of space. This was a big missed opportunity to fix it.

Crane is getting taller!

Make stampede "park" an actual park and either do a new gondola or (my preferred option) do a big permanent London eye style ferris wheel

The exterior cladding material is all right, but to be honest for such a huge budget I would expect something more high end.

Level 1 plans are blacked out for some reason but it's super easy to remove the censor

Absolutely insane that a site like that right next to the riverwalk is so undesirable, but that's the sad reality of how badly the city messed up that part of town decades ago

well this is disappointing.

Huh. That's disappointing. Seems like a great project to have some legit family sized units

They're (likely) talking about how statistically smaller businesses are unable to compete with Walmart and they usually have to go out of business when Walmart enters a market. This is certainly true for small towns, I'm not sure how true it is for the downtown of a big city.

Idk but it looks cute. I guess we've demolished worse

Also I just realized it looks like they're demolishing this building which is actually super lame

It looks like the forecourt has shrunk a bit which is kinda lame. It'll probably still be good though
