You can also see another building under construction in the background. Bridgeland is turning into a nice dense, little neighborhood..

Just an extra floor by the looks of it. Cochrane officially becomes our first satellite city to have its own skyline!

I had a chance to visit University district in person for the first time in a while yesterday, and the thing that surprised me the most was how busy it was. I’m being serious when I say that University Avenue between the hotel and save-on foods was busier than many of our downtown streets...

Does the vacancy rate include buildings already slated for residential conversion?

Agree. Outside of the places you mentioned, there isn't a huge issue with homeless people in the Beltline. You see them around, but most of those types are the bottle pickers. They're harmless. I'd argue there's more of an issue with idiots drinking too much and getting into fights or idiots...

Yeah it’s a weird one. The city would get much more bang for their buck extending the 5th street path from 17th to Elbow. That section if built would 50 times as riders as the 18th street section. I’m not exaggerating the number either.

This tower, 11-11 and west village towers have really changed the west end of the skyline.

A lot of materials and styles happening, but I like it.

Too many colors, other than that it’s fine.

As far as office buildings go, this is good. The extra retail will be nice, now they just need to put a proper cycle track on 19th.

I had a chance to enjoy the new extension of 12th Ave. cycle track yesterday. It was nice. I get frustrated sometimes that cyclist infrastructure in Calgary isnt progressing fast enough but, yesterday reminded me that we’ve had some wins over the last five years. Also on a sidebar, Two House...

I do think Sweden, just like the rest of Europe is ahead in her thinking compared to Canada, but you can’t really compare Alberta to Sweden. Most of Sweden’s 10 million people live in a 100,000 km² area, whereas 70% of Alberta’s 4.5 million people live in two metro areas that are a 3 Hour drive...

Move the statues to Tompkins Park.

I rode that stretch for the first time recently, and agree with you. It’s a solid setup.

It drives me nuts when I come across this kind thing. I have to keep to reminding myself things are improving.

Definitely. I agree with this from a cyclists and pedestrian perspective. There are some real idiot cyclists out there, aaaand some real idiot pedestrians. Unfortunately it makes it difficult sometimes, would great to see more separation.

I’m glad to see Calgary get some recognition for its bike system. While not perfect, it is a good system and getting better all the time. As @DougB said earlier the river pathway system has been years in the making, and is very underrated. The heavy lifting has been done, now all we need is to...

I just get a page with Chinese characters.

As much as I like towers for extra density it's too bad 4th street wasn't getting more of the mid-rise 6-12 floor projects. Still this is a good density boost to the arrea. If it gets built along wit the Lofts project, the whole vibe of the area is going to change. Maybe that nice feel of 4th...
