NY and Toronto both did security surges after elevated crime levels after Covid. The effectiveness of that was rather dubious, with most of the decline occurring naturally. The best way to get the bad element out is to increase ridership. Or at a minimum they don't create the feeling of being...

That is probably the case, very different demographics between the two.

Drunkenly painted lines aside, why isn't this open yet? Are they going to open it in the dead of winter just so Dreeshan can do a photo-op: "hey look, there's nobody on this bike lane!"

late spring would've positioned it well for Rotary and Stampede.

From the windows, looks like there's 13 guest room floors, and the hotel is 151 key, so about 11-12 rooms per floor. The rooms are pretty small though, ranging from 270sqft to 409 sqft...

Google any videos of the MTA and no amount of gate can stop people that really want to skip a fare. This is being pitched as a safety measure, to keep certain people out of transit stations. The reality is, for those people, it is not that hard to get a transit ticket, and the $300 million fare...

This bike lane construction is so bad. Aren’t lines painted with machines? How does this even happen? I remember someone posting about the terrible tile work in Marda Loop but this quality is so bad. From Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/s/x1eG12cyi9

There's daily shipments of Alaskan crude down the Pacific Coast with a minor exclusion zone. We load crude on the South side of the coast where there is significantly more people living there with no issue. The exclusion zone on the north side is nothing but politics. Alberta oil exports play a...

Should mention the article says Pembina and Kineticor have a JV to build a gas power station for this data center, so there will be supply to match the additional demand. I used to think similar but then someone mentioned it's the use of the resources. Gas in the ground is worthless, but gas...

Hasn't this building been open a while? Was the CRU just sitting empty? Weird they couldn't get tenants with all the high rises nearby.

https://thelogic.co/news/exclusive/meta-pembina-ai-data-centre/ Article is paywalled, but essentially Meta is finalizing a 1800 MW data centre in partnership with Pembina and Beacon AI to be built in Fort Sask. For context, they're currently building a 5000 MW facility in Louisiana an a 1000 MW...

Kerins on waivers. Hope he doesn't get claimed. For a roster in desperate need of skill, certainly a choice.

The result is likely two fold. First being what many have mentioned with post-security and with many food options post-security, there isn't really a reason to stay pre-security. Travel is also much more common now. The sheer number of flight seats per person in the population has skyrocketed...

2 bedroom and 890 sq ft is hardly "unliveable". Walking distance to transit and Superstore, the space seems pretty sufficient.

That building does look pretty expensive to operate. If they had a downtown office space, much easier to scale down.

That would actually fit with the theme of Autograph hotels which are supposed to be different and boutique for each property.

It's not just in Calgary either, they're doing aggressive outsourcing to India and consolidating management in Europe and NA to a few central hubs. With context of the layoff and essentially exiting Calgary, this donation was so odd...

Had the same experience. But I also saw Mucho Burrito and Chachi just opened there in the last few months so there must be a business case?

It's still U/C so will wait for the final product, but the layout of this isn't looking great.

The Blue line is quite long and connects to the Red line. People in the NE are also really close to the airport, so a cab would also be much cheaper. My comparison of a direct downtown connection vs a Blue line connection is that if someone lives in anywhere except the vicinity of "Grand...
