Munro | 26m | 7s | Calgary Co-op | NORR

I would be 100% good with that. More traffic lights instead of less, and maybe some traffic calming features.Take away a lane from each side to be used for parking. I don't love more parking for cars, but it would give the avenue a different feel.

This might be too radical for Calgarians, but put a cycle track on 16th ave. I can almost hear all the people freaking out lol.

I would like a cycle track down 16th, and it's one i would use myself. People would lose their minds, but we can still dream. Who knows maybe someday it'll be a reality.

I rode down 16th myself about a week ago and I couldn't believe how narrow and undesirable the space is for bicycles. Not to mention the amount of rust and garbage

 

[Surrealplaces]

It's brutal. I usually take avenues like 20th or 12th when going east-west in that area. 16th would be great given how central it is geographically and to retail, but there would need to be some drastic changes.

A development permit for this one has been subitted.

Given that Quarry Bay is no longer involved in these projects, I am not sure if the design has changed or not. Let's hope....

New development partner is Roy Op. It is a yellow and white, EIFS, NORR-special. It takes random rectangle architecture to never seen before heights.

Yuck.

Not loving Broadway? We’re creating it just worse

 

[FCC1982]

Not with all the overhead wires, grey buildings and grey sky I hope.

The drawings for the new DP have been posted (might have been up for a while, forgot to check back on this one)

NORR is the architect now, Royop is the new development partner, as mentioned above by @Calgcouver .

 

[Surrealplaces]

It's pretty much what I would have expected TBH. IMO, it's a step up from the previous design though, even with the psychedelic pattern lol. . Nice to see the parking lot in behind the development instead of facing 16th.

 

[Mountain Man]

That's almost a little bold from NORR, the colours are as bland as you would expect from them though lol.

Projected boxes, random rectangles but no aluminum fins or red panels?

Really excited for all commercial entrances to turn there back on 16th Ave entirely to front an interior parking lot. Glad to see our Main Street policies failing miserably

Does it? looks to me like most of it faces 16th, with the coop around the back?

A storefront on a wide, noisy, and undesirable main city corridor.......... or a boring parking lot.

Aaah North American society
