    West District | ?m | ?s | Truman

    Westside isn't private; anybody can buy a daypass or monthly/annual membership. There is a membership level where you get a more exclusive locker room with towels.

    Trees in Calgary

    Poplar trees are a peril that need pulling says councillor, but experts disagree https://livewirecalgary.com/2025/07/21/poplar-trees-are-a-peril-that-need-pulling-says-councillor-but-experts-disagree/ Chabot and Demong seem to be barking up the dumbest possible tree here...

    Hilarious (but not at all surprising) that someone who throws weekly temper tantrums about the feds has such thin skin.

    Does anyone known the timeline of how the land ownership around McMahon evolved? The Stampeders official page says From Wiki on U of C: And now the city's website shows U of C as the landowner: Is it still under the lease agreement, or does the U of C actually own the land now (and...

    It's just a crazy investment for 10-11 dates a year, half of which don't even draw 21k. I doubt it. 4 of the 5 lowest attended games last year were the 4 homes games they played in July and August. But maybe if the team is good and the weather is perfect and they're playing the Roughriders...

    For sure; I'm just saying that if it was even the germ of an idea at this point then they'd probably build these suites differently, if at all.

    If I had to venture a guess for the near to mid term at Stampede it will be pretty boring: - Saddledome area will become parking since its closest to the new arena, and Midway during 10-day - Ag building will move to the other side of Nutrien Centre (ie. Nashville North). Maybe they will want...

    Building new suites in the infield probably dispels any idea/interest in expanding the Grandstand into a football stadium.

    I think a good compromise for 8 Ave would be to tunnel until 5th S, come to grade for a station at Century Gardens (or a block east of there so you avoid a level crossing of 8th St), and then go elevated for the turn north and to connect to the bridge over the Bow. Reduces it to 1200 meters of...

    What's the most likely process for demoltion? Implosion followed by a few months of hauling debris away? What typically happens to this kinds of debris?

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    I could rant endlessly on this, but IMO we have a terribly limited approach for 'bike lanes' in the post-war suburbs. Main street projects are excellent and offer substantial upgrades to the 'last meters' for all active mobility users. But they are absolutely not an 'arterial' solution for...

    An Alamo Drafthouse (probably not the exact American chain, but the name is perfect) along with the barcade would be sweet. I could also imagine that some 'theatre' rooms could work really well for certain conferences

    They'd get even more if they ditched the track. They've also hinted that the Ag Building's days are numbered, though it will likely be replaced, but not necessarily on the same spot.

    Looks like it dates back all the way to 2019 https://engage.calgary.ca/stephenavenue But it seems like maybe Phase 3 may not have really happened as usual? I feel like we would have discussed it a lot more on here if it was

    Calgary to postpone Stephen Avenue construction while new timeline is developed Due credit for putting the brakes on...as a random Joe Blow I certainly don't have the impression that they have truly learned enough and implemented changes from the 17th and Marda Loop sagas. Or maybe they have...

    Calgary Regional Rail Transit

    The median looks pretty wide; around 18 meters most places I checked, though I'm sure there's a few spot where it narrows a bit. There's a bunch of places where eastbound lanes are higher than westbound so the median is on a bit of a grade, but nothing too crazy. Most of the overpass bridges...
