    Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    There was a depiction of the area outside the community on the barrier. It does show steps going down to the road. Looking north up 5A Street, you can see the side walks across the street are temporary and there is some room to raise it a bit. Judging by the height of the entrance sign, I...

    It is almost as if Canada's poor productivity can be loosely linked to our major centres having a lot of sprawl and high cost of living. So, you have a choice either you pay a lot to be close to your job or you pay less and require a longer commute.

    Isn't the fund about changing the means so that you can get to the end? If the means prevents the end, then you need to change the means, see the Statscan numbers thread. I'll be very curious if those conservatives on council can talk out of both sides of their mouth: Reducing red tape while...

    The blind squirrel found a nut. In their defense they haven't look as bad as their record. This should be an easier road trip, see how they manage.

    Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I would think so. I have time at lunch today, I'll walk over and see if I can capture the height difference in the SE corner from what exists there today. Renderings show a flat plaza and no or minimal steps to the curb of 14th Ave.

    Took the low floor in Nice to the local Soccer Stadium for a Ligue 1 match. Never felt more claustrophobic on transit in my life. Mostly because, like you say, there is very poor circulation. They actually ended up having a door issue on the train and that made it that much worse as doors would...

    FYI on where the Western Standard thinks council is ideologically. I decided not to provide a link to avoid such a rag getting clicks. (My comments are in non-italics) Ward 1, Kim Tyers. Her first term on council, replacing Sonya Sharp. Definitely to the right. Ward 2, Jennifer Wyness...

    Took too long for mid-rise to become a thing in EV. Glad its time is here.

    I wouldn't mind this but the picks you'll get for our middle six guys are the equivalent to trading for magic beans. I do agree that Kerins needs his shot, but I don't think that comes until there is a spot that opens up via trade or injury. Speaking of injury, something looks to be up with...

    I think that's an 8-6 (Conservative to Progressive) Council. Then, however Jeromy votes. I think we're going to be seeing some changes. Guess we'll see if they're good or bad changes. The good thing about it pretty much being budget time is we'll get to see right away what we're in for. My...

    East Village Truman Hotel | 24m | 6s | Truman | NORR

    You're right... This. Does not equal this. It actually looks like they'll need to provide an access road along the RiverWalk? Or maybe cap it? Still how did the adjacent building just build their access into a neighbouring property?

    I don't mind getting a middle six player, if you're giving up a middle six player. Guys like Frost, Farabee, Sharangovich can be traded for other guys who need a change of scenery.

    On the broadcast Kelly mentioned the person she was with was from a prominent ranch in the Black Diamond area. I'm wondering if they're friends and or she's doing some kind of "experience". There was an executive helicopter that flew over the SW yesterday afternoon towards Black Diamond. On the...

    The count was done yesterday, yet you won't know until today at noon if it changed things. And it looks like it isn't a straight recount but that they might consider rejected ballots. That is pretty interesting. I'm able bodied so take this for what you will but how hard is it to put an "X" in a...

    I think 4th Street SE (I refuse to call it Grand Central until Grand Central is anything other than an idea is some people's heads) might have to be elevated. Looking at how they've divided up the line, the section that is closest to the station is an elevated guideway. Maybe there's space to...

    Something like this could also be a selling point for an aerospace brain gain from the US.

    This is all I needed to know, thank you though. Your thoroughness is very much appreciated. I just couldn't grasp what you were saying. The complication of the explanation is a big part of the problem. When the statement: "City bad with money", is so complicated to rebut no wonder people just...

    I wasn't descriptive enough when I said: I meant go underground after the Red Line tunnel. Could mean a rail crossing of Macleod and cut and cover under 1st Street SE, I think you could mitigate this by making Macleod and 1st Street SE two-way roads. I think you'll want them to be two-way if...

    I'm so confused. Do you mean nonresidential taxes don't cover the cost of residential services? I am still confused. Is the City less and less efficient each year because our external growth means we're chasing our tail?
