Anyone know when the recounts will take place? I assume it needs to commence right away since I believe swearing in takes place on the 29th. I don't expect the mayoral result to switch but that Ward 12 result is close enough where a recount could flip the ward.

NIMBYs gonna NIMBY...

I believe the main threshold is a vote share difference of 0.5% or less. If Ward 9 was higher than that, perhaps there were insufficient other criteria to justify a recount? If i recall correctly, the other wards were a few hundred votes between candidates by the end, whereas Ward 12 was really...

I think an opponent can ask for a recount if the difference is less than 0.5%, as Sharp has done. Certainly applies in the Ward 12 case, not sure if the gap is narrow enough for a recount to be on the table in Ward 1. But I think the defeated candidate has to ask for the recount, and so far...

Hopefully if they are going through all the trouble of a name change, they're still contemplating construction.

Pretty sure Wards 1 and 12 are headed for recounts with the results being so close.

It's coming out a lot better than I expected. Nice to be pleasantly surprised for a change.

Things tightened up significantly in Ward 1 the last I checked. But it does look like Wong is toast.

Sorry meant 18

Good news! I am surprised it didn't get appealed, although the height was already reduced to 8 storeys if I recall correctly...

The fact that a GL tunnel is seen to be cheaper than red/blue tunnel is rather scary considering its cost would have been well into the billions...

I really feel that we need to look at a downtown tunnel for the blue and red lines sooner rather than later. Our LRT system has ridership levels that are 10X that of many US systems, and exceeds that of some subway systems (like Atlanta's). I take the train through downtown most days, and it's...

Did anyone happen to swing by the sales centre over the weekend? If so wondering what the attendance/interest level looked like?

The various new buildings going up in the Chinook area are, to say the least, nothing special but if we can get enough development happening to achieve a sort of critical mass, it will hopefully start to transform into a more interesting "uptown" area, like Metrotown, Houston's Galleria or...

Agreed. The others look fine and Lincoln will make a bigger impact on the skyline, but this is a design unlike anything we have seen in Calgary before.

Interesting! I scoured the internet and, unfortunately, there's zero info on this one as far as location, design etc.

Excellent! I also note they appear to have a very realistic perspective on the local market, knowing it'll take a while to sell all of the units, and also with a rental component. And their pricing seems to be very reasonable too. Topping out at the $800's for a 3 bedroom unit in a new build...

Tokyo vibes ;)

I really hope this one goes ahead. It's a cool building, and it would be great to see some positive momentum in East Village.

/\I believe that's MODA's "Mainframe" project?
