Instead of repealing the blanket zone bylaw, we need to repeal Calgary's bylaw of having to add random rectangles to every design.

There have been a couple maybe 2-3 SRC meetups, but the last one I think was probably like 6 years ago. We had one at Brown's social house on 16th ave, and there was one at Bottlescrew Bill's. There was also an early one at Last Best, way back probably 2017 maybe?

I'll miss the mature trees, but will be looking forward to the sidewalk wrapping around the crescent. Not sure what kind of retail will go in, but it would be a great spot for a pub or cafe with a patio.

Great location for something like this.

Great location for something like this.

Unfortunately just a concept for now. I think something will be developed on that parcel, but whether is something like this who knows. We're hoping the rumoured Allies and Morrison project is for that location.

Thanks Kora. It'll be interesting to see how the trends go. It's hard to get a good idea of a 25 year prediction from an 8 month trend. As well a lot of Calgary's growth has been strong inter-provincial numbers and a strong (relative to the other metros) natural increase. How immigration numbers...

Are recent stats? Not disagreeing with you, but curious to see what the numbers look like.

I recall seeing some from Josh showing the library. Maybe that was the one?

Maybe some architects were asked to submit some concepts for potential development of that parcel? If that was the case, and judging by the scale, it could be something where you'd bring in a firm like Allies and Morrison. Interesting speculation either way. The part that I'm excited about is...

We haven't had a forum meet up for a while. I'd be down.

I've brought it up to the owners and they seemed open to the idea of having some articles here and there. Their only concern at the time was consistency with the other skyrise sites.

Agreed. There was a post from I think @ByeByeBaby where he had rough numbers for jobs directly and indirect related to oil and gas for both cities, and Edmonton had a lower percentage, but not a big difference, and if I recall both cities were declining at maybe a similar rate. Calgary tends to...

Ottawa's didn't make sense, even adding Gatineau with it, it wasn't much higher than today's CMA numbers. I don't believe the maps are apples to apples, as the Ottawa map might not have been the updated Ottawa CMA. I didn't take the time to go through and figure it out, but a quick look showed...

We have a lot of great contributors here, contributing on so many different subjects, from road work, to cycling , to building materials, to transit, to photo updates, to resto/pub discussion, to inside info getting mentioned here first, and almost any question someone poses will get answered...

It was from this post. Three of the four blocks adjacent to the intersection have developments under construction or very close to it. Lots of change coming to that area with 710 units under construction or with an active building permit, and the strong possibility of another 392 units. In that...

It would be a pretty slim tower for that location, something similar to One Bloor West, but could be a bit bulkier. The biggest part of the Keystone lot is roughly 145' x 175', and for comparison sake, One Bloor West has a foot print of roughly 120' x 90' I would never balk at a supertall, but...

Looks like Myself, Mountain Man and Urban Warrior are the top posters, and no coincidence we're also the ones who have been around the longest. I just did the math for myself, and I'm averaging 4 posts per day. apparently I have a lot of time on my hands 😅

Some predictions - growth to 2049 - from Statscan on various census divisions around Canada and various growth scenarios. For Calgary Census division 6 is mainly our CMA + plus Foothills MD I thought I'd compare Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. Ottawa's numbers didn't look to be apples to apples...
