Ooops. Was thinking west, typed east. Used to hit up the BPs in that spot before it became a Dennys as it was one of the only places in the Beltline where they would show sports with the sound on. Both east and west ends could actually use the boost in population and vibrancy. 17th is strong...

The faded yellow and orange remind me of the old lawnchairs from the 70s my parents had while I was growing up. Average form factor, terrible appearance. I agree that a 2 story podium would work better in this location. Maybe even no podium setback since it's on the north side of the street...

That was my thought at first as well but then I realized that the sea of parking is essentially unavailable during Stampede as well as for a week on either side of it during set up and takedown. So for about a month, when the hotel is likely at peak occupancy, they won't have access to any...

Pretty much any of those power centres represent hell on earth to me.... I'm 100% with you there.

Bowness has had a strong NIMBY pretense for years as well. That main street commercial strip should have been 4-6 story mixed-use but the community has fiercely fought anything over 2 stories.

Looks like the blanket rezoning repeal notice of motion is now official. Seven members of Council are signed on to it, including the mayor. I think going back to the old way instead of tweaking things to address the major concerns is a terrible failure of leadership from all involved, but...

I think the big thing that may have pushed Bridgeland station up the list was the fact that it often had homeless people doing drugs in the enclosed station due to the fact it is close to downtown, is heated and has low ridership so it gave them a semblance of privacy. It lead to big safety...

Video of the Green Line construction industry event that was held the other day. A few tidbits from the video I wasn't aware of before. Opening day is being targeted as June 30, 2031. It kind of sounds like that might be between Shepard and the Event Centre station, not necessarily 7th Ave...

Is the portion of this building that faces Kensington Road also being redone as part of this redevelopment? Most of the tenants along there were being pushed out and so I assumed the entire block was being redone however recently there seems to have been new tenants popping up along that north side.

I would encourage people with concerns about this ridiculous intersection design to reach out to the project team to voice them. I agree that how they have designed these intersections just invites pedestrian/cyclist conflicts and creates the potential for injuries. A "slow down mixing zone" was...

Those rooftop amenities look really cool! The dog runs seem to becoming standard in a lot of projects now but I like the addition of what appears to be community garden boxes.

This was the part of the platform Farkas ran on. Not sure what the mode-split is these days but fairly certain whatever it is, this approach would be a budget boost.

My first time coming across this. Anyone have any insight into what it is or how it's been working out so far? Sounds like an interesting concept.

Ya that parcel was purchased by Minto in 2022 with a groundbreaking originally planned for 2023. Maybe the market softened to the point where it no longer made sense? Great to see a hotel as that will probably help activate the community better than more residential at this point. I'm also...

Shortlists for all the companies who will bid on the bulk of the Green Line work was announced today. I believe the tracks and signaling are the only major contracts that still need to go through the RFQ/RFP process. The announcement also included an interesting map of how the project is getting...

The area Councillor was also a main opponent to all of these projects and said Councillor just lost his seat so perhaps things might change in Chinatown over the next 4 years....

Normally I wouldn't obsess over what one candidate for mayor says but the creation of political parties changes the dynamics this election. The Communities First candidates in Wards 3, 4 and 7 are all running pro-Green Line North platforms but the mayoral candidate just said she's cool with a SE...

I went by here the other day and I have to say it actually looks a lot better in person and once they have fully finished painting it, I think it will be improved even more. I like it better than the shorter tower next to it where they just added some random blue spandral next to the windows.
