The DP for this one is coming to Calgary Planning Commission this week

Yes, DP was submitted last week

I have taken 3 flights on Flair, two of which were delayed (one by about 5 hours which resulted in me getting home at 4 am). I would definitely not take a connecting flight with them, and would be reluctant to fly them again unless the savings were huge. I'm too old to roll the dice on abysmal...

AC has been doing Calgary dirty for a few years now. But I do agree that at least WJ's pricing is quite competitive.

Moving at the speed of bureaucracy...

Conversely, Vancouver is much closer to Calgary-Edmonton-Ottawa in population than it is to Toronto or even Montreal. It has a bit over a million more people than Calgary, and 4.5 million less people than Toronto.

Always a nice surprise when these seemingly stalled projects come back to life.

Now that the height has been released, it's confirmed that it will be taller than any building either completed or under construction. The only proposal I am aware of that would be taller is the supertall proposed for Vancouver, but I have doubts that project will happen anytime soon, if ever...

I'm a fan of the splash of colour. There's generally a lot of monotone in this city's architecture.

Nice! Far from my favorite project but a big improvement over the parking lot.

Realistically, I don't see enough public money being available to build a stadium for a long time. Especially with so many expensive city-building projects already underway.

I don't see a redevelopment or replacement for McMahon until such time as the current stadium is considered structurally unsafe. Not sure how far away that day is. Otherwise, the only hope I see is if perhaps they join forces with Cavalry FC to build a facility that is affordable and also...

Correct. 15 storeys so too tall for wood frame construction.

Agreed. To be fair, the media wants people's attention and controversy (even if mostly illusionary) helps do that.

One of the best things about Calgary building out its surface network rather than spending on burying the downtown section, is because the system was so extensive for a city Calgary's size, it was actually very useful for a large portion of the population and so really helped Calgary build a...

To be fair, when Calgary and Edmonton built their LRT systems in the early '80s, the population of both cities was some 500-600,000. That's smaller than any North American city that currently has LRT, including Kitchener-Waterloo which recently completed a small line (and theirs is more...

Very true. Ottawa-Gatineau in particular has been growing slowest out of the 6 big cities over the past few years, and I expect that to continue if Carney goes through with the cost cutting he's been talking about. Edmonton is still growing very quickly, but slowly falling further behind...

In an election year, I am surprised at the relatively small amount of grandstanding from our Council members...
