@Calgcouver that is an excellent response! Thank you very much!

Is there a reason why the City creates separate plans for specific streets in the downtown (eg: 8th Street, Stephen Avenue, and others) as opposed to creating one plan encompassing all of downtown together? Wouldn’t that be better synergy?

Would it necessarily be a bad thing to retain one way traffic on 33rd and 34th avenues? I avoid the area now because traffic and parking are horrendous! Perhaps making these two avenues one way might help with that?

Well maybe not another library, but definitely an aquatic centre, and perhaps sport courts, a fitness centre, and a community centre!

Let’s close the grocery store but hey, you want liquor or cannabis, no problem, we will keep those departments open! 🤪

Hmm I signed up for e-news but didn’t receive this, and I don’t have a junk filter on either! Well, glad you posted! Thank you! Good to know!

I’ve never been there but the building looks cool and the history is interesting. There’s not many buildings in Calgary with “a story” (in this case ghosts/funeral parlour). Hope the building doesn’t languish long before a new business is up and running!

Watching the news on GlobalTV this morning about a 6 story apartment block being proposed on the site of the former Renfrew United Church in Renfrew. As usual, there is community opposition. The community would rather see lower density such as townhouses. Perhaps a compromise can be reached...

So despite all the opposition/criticism, has the DP been approved? Although I do know that approval doesn’t necessarily mean construction will even ensue!

Oh I didn’t know this was “new”. I thought it had been announced months ago! So I was confused as to what you were referring

What/where is this one?

O I’m i still don’t understand where the new access will be. I even tried to Google the park’s location on Google maps and it doesn’t clearly show it.I’m a techno idiot though (I don’t even know how to post pictures on here).

It really baffles me when people and community associations say there wasn’t enough/any communication. It just so happened this time the communication mostly happened virtually during the pandemic and if the people couldn’t bother to join in the conversation, that’s on them. Also, it appears...

I guess something has to give if they want to increase frequency. Are there enough train sets to accomplish this? If good coverage is the trade off here, I wonder if an on demand service in the suburbs with virtual stops (like in Airdrie) might help alleviate some of the concerns with getting to...

The bridge will definitely destroy the beautiful view. It’s really a shame that there isn’t an alternative.

I am a caregiver for an older person who has long COVID. On occasion he likes to get takeaway and sit on Crescent Road to enjoy the view whilst he eats. He lives in Airdrie. I try to drive him as close as possible to where he wants to sit as he can’t walk far without having respiratory issues...

Why not keep the Market as a retail podium and build residential/hotel/gym (to replace the Y) right on top of it?

I just realized that the last couple of pages are transit/Green Line related and this thread is for the Eau Claire redevelopment. The discussion lately has been less about the Green Line at Eau Claire and more about the Green Line in general. Perhaps an admin could move the affected posts to the...

The Red and Blue lines are successful in part because the routes have destinations to which people want to travel, whether it be work, home, or entertainment. The Green Line’s first phase may seem like a waste of money, because frankly I don’t think Shepard is a hugely popular destination. But...
