    Infill Development Discussion

    So I actually grew up right in front of the aforementioned intersection. Had some fun times drifting there in highschool 😂 But yes it ugly and a waste of space. I always thought it would have been nice just to have a little island with some trees in the middle but that seems like a pipe dream.

    In that case I'd just give it a light shaping once in the early spring and once in the late summer.

    Doesn't really matter, they'll get the most growth in spring and them slow by mid summer, so it depends what you're going for.

    I noticed on dmap a while back that there was a land use change but then I think it got pulled. Hopefully a developer is trying to acquire a few more parcels because that would be a great spot for something similar or a small 4 story apartment building.

    Yeah I don't what the deal is but my weather forecasts have been pretty consistently off the last few weeks, and by a lot more than the usual.

    I'm really glad to hear that! I was a long time patron at Tipperary's and was pretty bummed when they closed down. Glad to hear it won't be sitting empty for much longer!

    Those look to me like Siberian Elms, which do not handle Chinooks very well. As much as I hate seeing mature trees cut down, unfortunately with Siberian Elms they just aren't well suited for our climate and experience massive die offs every few years. I've had to remove many.

    Calgary Regional Rail Transit

    I actually appreciated the fare question because they're hopefully able to get a sense of what people are willing to pay. I know personally that as much as I'd like to take a train, I'm fairly price sensitive and at certain point won't pay. For Instance I said 45$ would be a fair price for a one...

    East Village: Success or a long ways away yet?

    I have a number of family and personal connections with the DIC and other shelters and my guess is that the main difference is that some shelters are dry and other not. I.e., some shelters will let anyone in regardless of how high/drunk they are, whereas others expect clients to be more or less...

    A big part of that are the new cultivars that are bred for the prairies. It's become increasingly common to see new types of zone 3 Maples, Honey Locust, Oaks and even Walnuts that can survive in Alberta. Granted many of these are on the edge, and some may see winter kill every few years but as...

    I drove by this yesterday and I hate the spandrel. I like everything else about this project but the exterior is a serious let down.

    Lilac bushes do well. Lilac trees are a little more iffy in our climate but I imagine they'd do okay in the core.

    Personally I think The Establishment consistently has some of the best craft beer out there. I agree that their tap room is a little bare bones but they're easily my favorite brewer in the Province. Cabins a solid second.

    There's a lot to like about this building, but I'm not loving the spandrel.
