Would be a great alternative history to see a century of designs like this come to fruition in Calgary

That’s really impressive actually. It’s going to be great when it’s done! One thing I don’t quite understand however, why are we building such nice dense walkable neighbourhoods nowhere near transit? Maybe there will be a spur from the blue line going up to West District?

What’s the expected population of West District at full build out?

Oh okay. What’s the population of the area around Marda Loop? 10,000?

Well right now, 44,280 people live in the Marda Loop BIA. To me increasing the bus routes from there to other destinations in Calgary, especially as popular as Chinook Centre is, seems like a no brainer to me. Only 9% of the 44,280 take public transit to work, which is clogging the roads...

Calgary Transit would be able to get a lot more riders if they focused on expanding their bus routes and increasing service. Just one example, but why is there no bus going from Marda Loop to Chinook? With the ever expanding population, and only going to get even bigger, it’s a huge oversight by...

"We're excited to share the potential for a residential tower on-site, leveraging the existing foundation originally designed for a 64-story structure in 1981," the company said. "If developed, this project could further enhance the property's position as a dynamic, mixed-use destination...

Just saw this. Even though It’s from the summer, it’s good news for the future of public transit in Canada. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-public-transit-fund-permanent-infrastructure-program I particularly like this, ‘As a condition for both the Metro-Region Agreements and Baseline...

I love the 1st example. Wish I knew how to garden/landscape as I’d love to turn my yard into something similar. I did plant vines and trees, but all but one died. At least my bushes remain lol

Easy fix - stop giving voice to the retards. Or if you do, mock and shame them.

I find American Elm (like pictured at bottom), don’t grow very fast in Calgary. Now if they plant Swedish Aspens or Norwegian Spruce, it’d look a lot more impressive in 10 years.

That’s great to see! Quick question, what is Belvedere Landing? I haven’t heard of this before. That’s a decent sized suburban development

You would never be able to build anything ever with that kind of outlook. There will always be those opposed to anything. Just ignore them.

Well Berlin, Copenhagen etc put elevated tracks in existing urban areas and it absolutely doesn’t detract from vibrancy. Not sure what makes Calgary special that they’re above elevated. It’s either elevated or nothing. Increased development due to Transit going there can also increase...

The way to ensure that transit will never get built in Calgary is to over engineer it to perfection. Build what you can, not what you dream of.

Hope so. I see Calgary politicians rallying against the province as Smith is a demagogue. It’s easy political posturing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it costs us the Green Line.

I am not sure if you’re being facetious or not but I’ll bite. It will drive more people to the area. More businesses can support the increased people arriving by transit, it makes it more walkable. There are high rises all around, there are ALREADY shadows. You live in a city, and it’s the...

Chicago is elevated downtown. It was nice living there. Sure it’s rickety and old, but that’s not a problem Calgary will face Calgary has too many negative Nancies. Just support mass rapid transit cmon. It’ll invigorate 10th Ave (just ignore naysayers who can’t their dream).

I dunno it works fine in Tokyo, Taipei, Bangkok etc. Plus Chicago, and we’d have a much more modern and quiet system.
