    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Housing is part of the solution, and I am all for the various levels of government throwing money at some sort of housing solution. Anyone who thinks housing is going to fix the homeless problem is living in dreamland. It’s going to help some people, but there’s a large number of people it’s...

    Very Japanese feeling. Reminds me of the hotel I stayed at in Tokyo.

    Statscan numbers

    Agreed. Everything is relative. Vancouver feels bigger and more urban than Calgary, and maybe on a ‘ratio’ a higher urban ratio (population ratio to urban feel), for lack of better wording. Toronto feels much bigger than Vancouver and to me has a higher ‘urban ratio’. For a city roughly double...

    Stampede Station | 277.3m | 70s | Truman | NORR

    Colours and Chocolate have also aged well. Battistella needs to get back in the game.

    It doesn't looks like any piles have been buried yet.

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    Good to see. Even though it’s resource based it’s still diversity from oil and gas.

    Stampede Station | 277.3m | 70s | Truman | NORR

    So now I’m going to be thinking about this constantly for the next 48 hours 😕 Does anyone have any hints at all?

    Par for the course for a suburban build.

    Liking the amenities area.

    1405 - 4th Street | 77m | 24s | GWL | Arcadis

    The truck in the background says Tent and Event rentals, so most likely something for Stampede.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    I’m in favor of forced treatment. I recognize it’s a form of prison, but it’s better than actual prison. It at least gives someone a chance to recover and they’re looked after. Also for the public it keeps them off the streets Assuming it’s run like the jail system there shouldn’t be a wait...

    Calgary's Downtown Population

    It’s strange that the boundaries include part of Mission but not all and yet includes the Stampede grounds and Fort Calgary. Outside of that, the boundary tracks fairly well. Are there any stats from the 2011 census or earlier? Seeing as we’re making predictions, I’ll throw in my prediction...

    Kensington Mixed Use | 20m | 6s | Westrich Pacific | J+S Architect

    Of all the inner city ‘destination’ neighborhoods, Marda Loop, Bridgeland, Inglewood, Mission, Beltline and Kensington, I I would still take Kensington all costs equal, but I have to admit those other neighborhoods are really evolving. They’ve come along way and easily rival Kensington these days.

    The Hat Eau Claire | 28m | 7s | Cidex Group

    Media people check into these forums regularly to at least be in the loop on developments around the city, and usually the info arrives later on in a newspaper article.

    11th Street Underpass | ?m | ?s | City of Calgary

    Agreed, for one thing the park will never ever get used. It’s absolutely the least desirable place to put a park in my opinion. You couldn’t find a worse place to put one. That and closing 11th to vehicle traffic is also stupid.

    First & Park | 75m | 18s | Graywood

    The accents make a big difference to the building. I went from not sure if I liked it to liking it once the accents were added.

    Anyone planning to travel to the US: Yay or Nay?

    Fair enough. If people are going to visit family or it’s some sort of event that they don’t have in Canada, etc. I get it. I should’ve rephrased this question to ‘Are there any people planning to travel to the US simply for vacation?’ If anyone’s going down to the US solely for vacation...
