    Calgary Transit

    I think the challenge is if you look at Transit as a whole, and the mountain of money going to the Green Line, it is hard for transit to cry poor. Perhaps some better prioritization a decade ago would have lead to a better overall transit network, but c'est la vie.

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    My money is on Farkas. Sharp is great at being negative, but if pushed, I have yet to hear a great thought out policy from her. Just complaining. Great. You don't like blanket rezoning, but when you continue to vote against TOD development, are you advocating for endless sprawl?

    Also that office building in the SW corner of 8th Street and 8th Avenue SW, that was built within the past 20 years or so I think (want to say 2008ish).

    https://maps.calgary.ca/calgaryimagery/ Up until 2008 there was a building there. Unforutnately Streetview and my memory doesn't go back far enough to show what it was.

    Springbank Hill | ?m | ?s | Multiple Projects

    I was just out through this area this morning, took a few update photos: The Whitney is nearly complete by the looks of it: Age care is really moving along: The first couple of buildings of the Summit 77 Apartments are nearly done (exterior anyway), you can see the back ones are well...

    Calgary Regional Rail Transit

    See if you can find out what the sales pitch entailed. I would be so curious. I am assuming that being a great uncle, they are past the point of needing an affordable home within a decent commute of an employment opportunity.

    Calgary International Airport

    My wife and I went relatively last minute to Chicago for a few nights in July. Despite there being a massive skyscraper with TRUMP blazened across it, politics never came up once and everyone we met was very nice and friendly. I would say the exchange rate is the biggest deterrent right now...

    There is also the challenge with that Legacy and Corrnerstone example of the fact that the carriageway (the asphalt) is supposed to contain painted on-street bike lanes in each direction, complete with a buffer zone, per the City's approved Complete Streets Policy and design guidelines for...

    Roads, Highways & Infrastructure

    No they don't unfortunately. Got rid of it 8-10ish years ago. A frustrated council finally got the GM of infrastructure services to say they will create a new one for the next budget during the mid-cycle budget debate last November, but nothing has been shown or prepared yet. Honestly, I am...

    Is it enough to now declare the drought conditions over? Or, is that a year by year thing?
