The last public plans showed residential developments in at least 2 of the 3 areas, specifically the parts that adjoin Oakridge and Lakeview.

New website for the Taza project launched: https://togetherattaza.com/ Nothing new that I can see.

I thought the same for a long time. But the more research I did, especially from a variety of sources including Nation members and recounting of earlier Nation histories, my mind changed. I’ll also say that the Nation isn’t a single entity. Tsuut’ina Elder Bruce Starlight told me that the...

Speaking of the Weaslehead. Not sure if this is the right thread, but I researched the history of the Weaselhead name, looking for the man that the area was named after and understanding how his name became attached to the Elbow River valley...

The bridges for the new ring road/Sarcee/Glenmore interchange are going up quickly!

'Step backwards:' Lakeview's issues with Tsuu T'ina development triggered talks of a berm http://www.metronews.ca/news/calgary/2018/03/29/step-backwards-lakeview-s-issues-with-tsuu-t-ina-development-triggered-talks-of-a-berm.html

I did a brief overview of the info on the ExperienceTaza site. It can be found here: https://calgaryringroad.wordpress.com/2018/03/20/taza-revealed/

The fact that 'Save Lakeview' proposed a berm between the community and the reserve doesn't help with the perception that the concerns are not entirely traffic related. I was one of the people that resigned from the LCA when these new members came on board. It is a deeply fractured organization...

The important point is SOME people in Lakeview have a problem. Not everyone. The 'Save Lakeview' folks say it's about traffic, but then they want a berm to block out the reserve, which has nothing to do with traffic. Several Save Lakeview people have joined the Lakeview Community Association...

Taza website went live last week: https://experiencetaza.com/ This is a google-maps overlay from the site, showing Glenmore at the top, the ring road at the left, Lakeview on the right and the Elbow at the bottom.

I'm not sure. The Sarcee/Richmond interchange came after a study of that entire corridor and this was the portion that the City felt would make the greatest impact on dealing with the downstream traffic generated by the ring road. The Bow interchange was studied along with this one, and this...

It will be interesting to see how it comes together; such a beautiful location adjacent to such a huge road. I guess that will be the case all the way along the ring road, as it crosses the Weaselhead and the Fish Creek.

Perhaps surprisingly, that 'resort' area has probably the most spectacular views in the entire region. It's positioned slightly down into the Elbow valley, and when you face away from the road, all you can see is the pristine Tsuut'ina side of the Weaselhead area, the Elbow river, the hills...

Rentals for anyone.

Here's a newer zone map of the development area near Glenmore and Sarcee Trails. I believe there will be more details soon.

I agree entirely. I went to the Nation's Christmas Feast last week, and it was fantastic. I was encouraged by seeing some from Calgary and Rocky View (though disappointed that no representatives from the City were there). I think the ring road and the developments will start to play a role in...

I'm writing a series on the Nation's developments, starting from the origins of the Nations economic development planning in the 1970s, the influence of the ring road on those plans from the 1980s, and then eventually looking at the current planning for the developments. Part 1 is here...

That's what makes this more interesting. YYC Cares is headed by Lakeview residents, including Mr. Brookman, and was formed to protect wetlands in the Elbow river watershed. So the question is, why is Mr. Brookman targeting specific engineers (rather than their employer) on an aspect of the...

I guess you would have to define 'man-made' but essentially no, the Weaselhead is not man-made. No one dug the valley, planted the trees, or introduced the wildlife. About 10% of the area, along the eastern edge, is a seasonal wetland that is caused by the Glenmore Dam, but the vast majority of...

I can't really comment on the two that are most impacted (the ones previously on reserve land) but Wetland 6, known as the 'beaver pond' and visible in the middle of that picture above is fairly important from a bio-diversity perspective. I really hope that whatever happens, that wetland...
