    The exhaust from the high efficiency furnaces are quite ugly, hopefully they can plant trees and screen them.

    I was going to joke Okotoks and High River, but got beaten lol

    Looks like the political situation in the US is about to get a little more nuts...

    Aren't the Flames retaining part of Markstrom's salary?

    Existing building is now a pile of rubble.

    These vertical suburbs seem so strange on streetview, definitely don't have the feel of a proper urban area.

    I think it's just the angle blocking one set of windows, but I wouldn't be bothered if the building wasn't symmetrical.

    The city needs to give that area a 5 year reprieve at least, people and businesses in the area are so mad that any more work will not be well received lol. The work that has been done does look good though, once it's done the businesses in the area will be very happy.

    As soon as they started publishing Sun columnists I stopped paying attention to the Herald.

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Rick Bell is a crayon eating fool, how he gets the platform he does is beyond me. Eliminating bike lanes will do nothing to improve traffic, and parking directly in front of businesses was very rarely available anyway. Also I can stand on some of our 4-6 lane roadways downtown when there are no...

    7 years at $52.5M for Wolf, didn't expect that!

    I don't think the outdated venues are costing the CFL any money though, are they? I'd love to see a new stadium here, but am not holding my breath, McMahon will just get another major renovation.

    With a year gone on excavating / shoring, it's crazy to think that we are 1/3 of the way through the construction schedule and this building will be open in 2 years. Can't wait to see this poke above grade and the steel start to go up!

    In some smaller cities a stadium could be looked at as an investment since it would potentially attract big concerts and festivals as well as other sporting events. Hard to justify 8-9 figure construction costs for taxpayers though, especially with bigger issues to address.

    They are doing one block at a time on Stephen Ave, so keep an eye on that to see I guess. Good question though, going piece meal on the utility work would likely take longer than doing it all at once as you would end up doing things multiple times.

    General Construction Updates

    If they phase it one block at a time, that will be better than doing the entire area simultaneously. I think I remember reading on here that it was the Marda Loop CA that pushed for the entire project to happen at once?

    I enjoy the CFL game still, 3 down football is much more entertaining than the 4 down version. The CFL should be able to survive, they just need to expand to the Maritimes, and then another team or two in BC, Ontario and Quebec. I just hope they stick with TSN as the broadcaster, no need to...

    If Westbrook was developed in a similar way to University District or West District, that would be ideal. Neither UD or WD have a mall as an immediate neighbour (UD is about .5km from Market Mall though), and 37th and 17th are retail streets, so it would be interesting to see how it would turn...

    Ezra is 8 storeys and it the right height. I think all the big trees at the south end of the park will cause more shadowing than the buildings will anyway.

    How many lanes and sidewalks does Truman get to close for this? They have the sidewalk and 2 lanes shut down on 11th and the sidewalk and 2 lanes shut down on 4th. These guys may build a lot, but they are quite happy to give everyone the middle finger while doing it...
