Thanks again! I had no idea those houses were there and I grew up in the south. I'm glad you came on to the forum.

I've always wondered if this is a historic house in Sundance: https://www.google.ca/maps/@50.8943415,-114.0484103,3a,75y,51.91h,84.86t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0c62fxcp7IUDn6_HABJLVw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 It could have been built in the early 90's but it doesn't really fit the neighborhood. There...

That's incredible, thanks! I notice that the Shawnessy Barn is still there.

Where is the Shawnessy house?

I apologize if you misunderstood me. I don't want the city to let any swinging dick developer to build a bunker beside a river in the inner city. The city needs to fix the Macleod trail couplets somehow. I'd say turn Macleod trail into a two way street and put a cycle track on 1st street for a...

I'll agree that it's definitely quiet in the evenings. I'm also excited that the new Art Gallery in the old planetarium. I think the two biggest problems in West End is the freeways that run through the neighborhood and the faux-gotham city style architecture. When I see old pictures of pre-WWI...

Haha, nice. Go live in West End for two years, let me know what you think of a tower neighborhood that wasn't properly planned.

True, true. You get units with weird floor-plans and most office to residential units don't have balcony's as you have to alter the building envelope.

It surprised me that council approved 14 new communities when they should be trying to encourage office to residential conversions.

Once residents take up occupancy at the 'Verve', 'Ink' and and 'The Hat' the increase in population should help out the businesses a bit.

Don't forget about the ground level retail. It's all about filling in the gaps along the street :D

Looks good! Thanks for posting. Once the Greenline opens it'll be nice if the city built another BRT MAX line on 52nd street from Saddletowne to the Seton Hospital.

It could also be that 2017 was a busy year due to free Park entry.

The Safeway site is huge. Also, Osteria and 10th street Landing pub are prime candidates for redevelopment.

I'd rather have a gravel parking lot than this dystopian piece of shit with a 12 storey podium/bunker. The density will come, just be patience. Calgary needs more buildings with a higher level of design. We need buildings built on a human scale with context and nuance in mind. Buildings which...

We gotta start somewhere right? Frequency can be increased once the city gets data on ridership. I'm planning to take November 19 off work and ride all three BRT lines. :cool:

South Crosstown BRT: MAX Teal North Crosstown BRT: MAX Orange 17th Ave BRT: MAX Purple Good presentation and branding IMO.

Good. This seems like just another boring, banal and generic tower. "Good filler" as we say in Calgary.

Yeah, it's funny that they didn't line the streets up with university city.

Totally agree. However, it will be a tough sell in this fiscally austere climate. With low lease prices in the core we've lost a lot of our tax base.
