A couple more interesting factoids

I believe it's July to July like you said. That's the point in time they're estimating, unless that's changed.

The mayor likely will be gone, but outside of Chu and Wong, I bet the other councillors will be reelected. Chu will be gone for sure, Wong will be if that ward doesn’t vote split like last time.

I’m all for a vacant land tax, but not if it’s through the federal government. Unless they plan to take the tax and give it back to the municipalities of where it came from. Also rather than the city put the tax into general budgets I’d want to see the money go towards projects to make the land...

Not only would those park and ride lots get developed, but they’d get money by selling them and they could use that money towards other transit infrastructure.

I agree about the Green line, but not about the other parts. A spur to Mt Royal, or an airport connecter are nice to haves in the future but lots of money for minor gain. The city spent a lot of money, extending out the existing lines where they would get the most bang for the buck and it has...

Can you use regular Canon lenses?

Fresh snow and fresh spandrel in the same day!

It must be a higher quality material. Some of the imitation wood panel I’ve seen around new sites looks like crap. This looks good.

Sovereign probably will, and there’s also a chance of West Village Tower 3. After that, Calgary could hit a drought. Personally, I’m not too concerned because we have record housing starts overall. If they aren’t high-rise towers, no biggie.

And also the distance, shorter flights will usually be more efficient for a 737. when you get into a distance like Puerto Vallarta it will almost always be more efficient to fly a 787, however, like you said, operationally wise, it’s more flexible to use the 737. If WestJet did buy extra 787 for...

That part puzzles me I don’t know what architect thought that would be a good idea.

This one turned out quite well IMO.

Me too 😎

Exactly. There is still more to be developed, and if the first phases go well, the developers might get more aggressive and go for bigger density a la towers.

Metro population estimates (for July 2022) came out last year Jan 11, so they must be coming out soon. Time to place your bets and make you predictions. I'm going with 60K new residents for Calgary.

Cool pic!

Looks good, and Central Taps will help keep the area busy.

This is ambitious and I like it. With buildings proposed as high as 27 stories they’re going to need an Option D added to the proposed plan. 😎
