    Dont count on it. Both Toronto and Vancouver could face negative population growth due to immigration changes and unaffordability. Plus the market for investment condos may be permanently dead. A normal real estate cycle would have seen busts every 7 to 10 years. Given that these markets have...

    Could see tower 3 being changed to condo as the purpose built rental market is saturated. Would be great if the small office building adjacent to the tower 3 could also be redeveloped

    Calgary would need to double in size to attract the MLB or NFL franchise that would be required to justify a new stadium

    Is this CTV article correct that one of the four towers is not residential? https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/high-density-development-in-marda-loop-moves-ahead/

    Looks like provision for one, maybe two extra lanes. Isn't that section of Deerfoot eventually planned as a collector/distributor system?

    What is going on with the Ivor Strong Bridge widening? Looks like the piers extend beyond the new southbound lanes. Is this for future expansion?

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    If that is a strategy, it is a bad one. Most of the swing ridings are in Calgary. As you pointed out, bike lanes have not generated much polarization in Calgary..Anti bike lane sentiment might motivate the rural base, which the UCP already ownsm If the UCP rudely wants to rattle Nenshi, it...

    Opposition to bike lanes comes from ignorance. If someone takes the time to actually look at traffic flow, obvious opportunities exist to convert under-utilized vehicular lanes

    Wonder if the northbound lanes of the Macleod couplet could be converted to two way and the southbound lanes (aka 1st St SE) restricted to local traffic, pedestrians and bikes. Ideally, a Stephen Ave subway and 25rh Ave interchange would elimate other delays on Macleod so that reduced lanes...
