    Block 23 - Central Park | 12m | 3s | Gibbs Gage

    I was also around University district yesterday and really took notice about the underground heated parking - there is also plenty of bike storage down there. Comparing the master plan with Greenwich I have to say that UD did it right by making sure there will be no surface parking lots. I’m...

    "urban villages" - sure... who are we kidding. It's all car centric

    Westman Village | ?m | ?s | Jayman

    Not very bike friendly either - you're basically forced to have a car to get anywhere (or a boat to get across this artificial pond 😑).

    I've gone to A1 many times - very good food indeed. They hosted a filipino inspired menu for the last few weeks but they just changed the menu. Calcutta cricket club/ Model milk/ Pigeon hole are my suggestions.

    Mission 19 by Gravity Architecture. Some trees and a couple of houses got taken down just recently. From the page it looks to be condos instead of rental units - great for mission https://www.gravityarchitecture.com/mission-19

    Trees in Calgary

    I was referring to the picture of Midnapore and the poplars - not 19th avenue NE with Elms! Poplars look great when healthy - but like @The Familia stated, I agree these tree species should only be planted in open spaces - not along sidewalks or tight spaces. Manitoba Maple is another example

    Trees in Calgary

    These streets were planted with poplars which grow very fast and have a broad canopy spread. They mature very fast compared to other trees because they are adapted to our climate.

    I believe you're right! I checked gravity architecture and they seem to focus on inner city filling also I'm glad to see it's not a rental build development..

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I’ve looked at the Calgary development map and can’t seem to find any development proposal for this site. I heard the houses are coming down on Monday and some condominiums are going up. Anyone has any information? The location is in mission close to 17th ave and 4th street...

    Lonely mouth bar is about to open where Ox Bar de tapas used to be. They are part of the Concorde group and this protect will be modern Japanese food and sake/cocktail bar. National, Bridgette, Model Milk and others are part of Concorde group so I’m looking forward to this new project
