There's even more lanes and fewer lights on Deerfoot and Glenmore, yet they see the most congestion of all. Weird. Surely this latest half billion will solve it, though. Yes. The Elbow intersection was kinda similar to Kensington Rd of today. Now we get to sail through Elbow! ...after...

There's a lot more orange than purple as you go further north. Either way there is a big opportunity cost. You convert fairly valuable land from an asset to a liability in perpetuity, while displacing residents and businesses. All for an ultimate result of shuffling the congestion around to...

E-W will stay mostly flat with a bit more elevation for the bridges. It looks a lot more like Glenmore/Elbow and Glenmore/5 St than Marda (though that interchange is pretty hostile, too). In addition to the car wash + gas station (which are never particularly pretty, but do serve as a hub...

Oh good, we probably just get to pay lawyers on both side as well as the judge and court staff to tell us the same thing.

What would the process for sinking Crowchild look like? Temporary lane(s) on the edges where the on/off ramps and MUP will be? Looks like this basically kills nearly all of the retail along the east side from the law office strip mall at Kensington Rd to the Esso station. Just the Abominable...

For me the grey bricks and straight edges just feel wrong. This stretch of Stephen Ave is all about warm sandstone...I'm not exactly sure what would be better, but the current pink/red in a lot of the bricks works much better. This feels so sterile.

Seniors rarely downsize — here’s why that’s hurting first-time homebuyers I suspect there is a sweet spot age for empty-nesters to downsize, but once they cross a certain threshold (probably a little over 70) then they are likely staying put until assisted-living is necessary. It's easy to...

Westside isn't private; anybody can buy a daypass or monthly/annual membership. There is a membership level where you get a more exclusive locker room with towels.

Poplar trees are a peril that need pulling says councillor, but experts disagree https://livewirecalgary.com/2025/07/21/poplar-trees-are-a-peril-that-need-pulling-says-councillor-but-experts-disagree/ Chabot and Demong seem to be barking up the dumbest possible tree here...

Hilarious (but not at all surprising) that someone who throws weekly temper tantrums about the feds has such thin skin.

YABBA DABBA DOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone known the timeline of how the land ownership around McMahon evolved? The Stampeders official page says From Wiki on U of C: And now the city's website shows U of C as the landowner: Is it still under the lease agreement, or does the U of C actually own the land now (and...

It's just a crazy investment for 10-11 dates a year, half of which don't even draw 21k. I doubt it. 4 of the 5 lowest attended games last year were the 4 homes games they played in July and August. But maybe if the team is good and the weather is perfect and they're playing the Roughriders...

For sure; I'm just saying that if it was even the germ of an idea at this point then they'd probably build these suites differently, if at all.

If I had to venture a guess for the near to mid term at Stampede it will be pretty boring: - Saddledome area will become parking since its closest to the new arena, and Midway during 10-day - Ag building will move to the other side of Nutrien Centre (ie. Nashville North). Maybe they will want...

Building new suites in the infield probably dispels any idea/interest in expanding the Grandstand into a football stadium.

I think a good compromise for 8 Ave would be to tunnel until 5th S, come to grade for a station at Century Gardens (or a block east of there so you avoid a level crossing of 8th St), and then go elevated for the turn north and to connect to the bridge over the Bow. Reduces it to 1200 meters of...

Booooooooring.

What's the most likely process for demoltion? Implosion followed by a few months of hauling debris away? What typically happens to this kinds of debris?

I could rant endlessly on this, but IMO we have a terribly limited approach for 'bike lanes' in the post-war suburbs. Main street projects are excellent and offer substantial upgrades to the 'last meters' for all active mobility users. But they are absolutely not an 'arterial' solution for...
