Says in the article it will be built over an existing ctrain tunnel! is that the tunnel for the green line?

The red line tunnel goes under the site.

Beat me to it. Much better than my crappy drawing.

 

[Mountain Man]

Not sure what to think of this one, such a strange proposal...

 

[Habanero]

I like it, for the simple reason that it's better than what's there now. I don't always use that line of thinking, but do for this one. The lot it's on was probably going to sit an empty wasteland for another 30 years. I want to see something built there in my lifetime.

No it's the red line tunnel.

Update on this one. The groundbreaking ceremony for this will be next Wednesday at noon. I'll be there at the ceremony and will snap some pics.

Damn are they really starting the construction this soon?

Looks like they have the lot blocked off and equipment on site, they don't look like they are going to waste any time after the groundbreaking.

 

[Cowtown]

So this one is already starting construction? Wow, that's much faster than I expected.

 

[JonnyCanuck]

Very surprising. There is hardly a need for anymore downtown parking or office space.

Today we broke ground on an innovative east-end parkade along with our partners at @CalgaryParking and @PlatformCalgary.

Looks like they just broke ground on this one.

Very surprising. There is hardly a need for anymore downtown parking or office space.

My guess is that the main motivation for this parking garage is to accommodate visitors to the NMC and the Central Library.

 

[Surrealplaces]

I was supposed to be at the groundbreaking, but got sidetracked and couldn't make it. Looks like they had a good chunk of dignitaries there.

Nice to see EV continue its momentum.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Happy to see this move ahead as planned. In fact, I'm just happy to see so much momentum in the east side of the core these days; Curtis Block and One finally resurrected and underway, Telus Sky nearing completion, NMC already a symbol of civic pride and discussion, this development, and all of the proposals at Stampede Park. Just amazing, didn't think we'd see this level of momentum for another 5 or more years, and there's only more to come
