    Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    Just borrow the design from the PNE Amplitheter and add that to the old Saddle dome bowl.

    Calgary to Canmore Trail

    If Farkas wins the mayoral race this project would likely move forward with additional funding. He mentioned the pathway in multiple locations in his policy platform (Parks and Mobility) and was/is? the CEO of the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation.

    Workers were there on Sunday. The building looks great with the arches; I'm happy to see this one move forward.

    Nari | 24m | 6s | FAAS Architecture

    This is the type of development that makes existing residents frustrated. 44 units and 12 parking stalls, the rationale for a parking reduction seems to be "this is near a primary transit route". Is that route 22 that comes every 30 min? Even if you took off the 25% stalls required within the...

    WestUrban 37th | 16.5m | 5s | WestUrban | FAAS Architecture

    Building one is almost completed on the outside, and the second to the south is moving quickly. The prefab walls are a game changer for timelines. View looking north on 37th - You can see the Killarney Multi-Res in the distance

    Grabbed a pic of the crane bringing some materials to the roof this morning.

    I like the enclosure of the outdoor space, it reminds me of SAIT's Heritage Hall. A +15 connection would be a good addition to bring people into the space during lunch hour peaks as well.

    Calgary Transit Fantasy Maps

    Could you share what plan that image is from? I'd be curious to see any detailed analysis completed for it. Interesting that the city's version has a loop at Stampe Station.

    Calgary Transit Fantasy Maps

    Is that a common method for maintenance in more urban contexts? I would think that would be a lot of effort to put a train on a truck.

    Calgary Transit Fantasy Maps

    I often think a Streetcar would be ideally used to connect Westbrook and Stampede Station. Pros: Runs at the surface in the centre lanes (scope creep to upgraded sidewalks on 17) Brings a looped connection to the beltline and 17th ave Provides an additional point to leave Stampede grounds for...

    The Broward | 19m | 6s | Truman | MoDA

    I think in this case, maintaining the facade should have been the middle ground for heritage retention and development proceeding.

    The Gryphon | 22.7m | 6s | Mancal | LOLA

    Maybe they discovered Asbestos?

    Grass would be a win with the paving of Cowboys Park.

    11th Street Underpass | ?m | ?s | City of Calgary

    @CalgaryTiger you're right, it doesn't seem crazy wide when using it, but 5th street is almost double the width. Expropriate and do it right? Its surface parking on all four corners.

    11th Street Underpass | ?m | ?s | City of Calgary

    Was the cost for 5th street SW that expensive that the city would consider something lesser than like this? Why wouldn't 5th Street just be the standard? take that plan and apply it again. I feel like this is over complicating something that could be a standard design that still promotes...

    Hampton Inn by Hilton | 56.08m | 17s | Triple One | NORR

    Working on the front now. They were cutting the piece when I walked by. I would have thought it would all be ready to install.

    Calgary Imagery updated its most recent data to 2024. I would guess it's sometime in spring 2024. Harmony is now included in the aerial overview. West Stoney Trail is now clearly visible. https://maps.calgary.ca/calgaryimagery/
