The only way I approve canals is if we get one of those boats with that stuffed animal claw game grabber to pull bikes out of the canal.

5th ave lane reversal is gone? Very interesting.

Are they moving the art outside the old CBE building? Looks like that's what is on the corner. If this drawing doesn't show that this is begging for a pedestrian overpass or just capping 6th Ave here (with a wildlife overpass) I don't know what will. I need to look up when the final riverwalk west design is coming out...

Edit from: https://www.calgary.ca/our-leadership/articles/riverwalk-west-design.html

The RiverWalk West project team is now working to refine the conceptual design before construction can begin. An updated timeline is expected to be shared with Calgarians in late 2024.

That didn't happen...

Brotherhood of Mankind statues moving there or is that just something that looks similar?

 

[Roaring Flames]

It's about damn time the Brotherhood of Mankind statues got their own little manicured location in this city. A plaza outside a contemporary art museum right next to the Riverwalk? The Art will finally get the attention it deserves.

Seems to be going away with RiverWalk West

It’s a consultant. I wouldn’t read into it.

Ah, more surface parking. Yes please.

We haven't given up enough of the riverfront to cars yet.

One day I hope we can just pave over the whole river and turn it into a highway.

They're removing surface parking

Ah, I'm an idiot that didn't look at the schematics properly. Thanks for setting me straight.

I wonder why they flipped the design. In the original render the new addition was on the same side as the river. Now they placed it on the side of the train and turned the river side into a park. Can’t say I hate the change, but I did like the new glass addition fronting the river. Would have made for some nice river views from inside. I also notice that the new addition seems smaller than what was originally planned. Oh well, I’ll take it and it should be a nice addition to the west end.

It's too bad 6 Ave will be a giant wall between Riverwalk and the new plaza

 

[CallmeCatbread]

Oh yeah the old version is waaaay better. That would have been so incredible to have it facing the river like that. I'm quite disappointed they flipped it. 6th Ave is such a blight.
