Only just noticed in that picture that the 2 buildings aren't exact mirror images, interesting

The flames are saying on one hand that the city's proposal is unfair because they'll have to pay more property taxes from increased value and then in their proposal they ask for a CRL which is supported by increases in property tax in the area because of the value the arena will add. That is so...

http://calgaryherald.com/news/traffic/more-calgarians-driving-into-the-downtown-than-taking-transit-city-report-says Disappointing that the article overlooks the impressive gains for pedestrians and cycling and focuses only on increases to driving. Looking at only SVO it was an 11.3% increase...

I have issues with the "Cyclists dismount" sections. First of all they have Princess Island bridge as section which it currently isn't so why would this detour change that? Reality is cyclists are not going to dismount, the city needs to figure out a way to better manage these detours

From Shaganappi GC, it's really noticeable how this building is filling in the gap b/w downtown and the beltline

Construction has started on pathway underpass for Baines Bridge (the zoo connector off Memorial). Excited for this one as that was a pain having to go across the road there. Hoping they repave that entire stretch through the zoo as part of this as it has some of the worst tree root speed bumps

Can't remember the name of it in, but demolition is ongoing right now along Memorial Dr in Kensington for that new condo there

Given the current rental market and the number of new rental condos finished in the past couple years I wonder if this is a trend we'll see more of on older buildings trying to increase their appeal

Some sections of the new vertical covering at the top has the wrap off. Looks like it's at least not green...

Think this would have been great to have a green roof, especially when looking at the area available and site lines from surrounding buildings. I looked at the renderings on page 1 and doesn't look like it. Missed opportunity in my mind

Don't think so, there is parking behind cut under the second floor

Agree with the above sentiment on the colour. I think the colour and placement of the brick is nice, could even live with the panels being only shades of grey and white. So we just need a late night anti colour graffiti session to paint in the coloured panels

On the reclad topic, noticed scaffolding up along the entire exterior of Westview Heights. Think it's been up for sometime but any idea what the plan is there ? I hope they don't change the green because it's so popular, particularly among forumers on here

Had to do a little streetview confirmation but it was the green wall next to it that I triggered my memory

11th ave place

Prefer that east-west perspective of Brookfield, but won't have that view for long

Five west? Just a guess, trying to match up the parkade

And finally getting the sidewalk back is quite nice, 8 years now since the original Astoria started? Edit: Yup about 8 years, here's an old flashback: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/10m-calgary-penthouse-breaks-price-record-1.743081

You're close but pretty sure it's colours. Going way back with that one

Courthouse?
