No, I haven't bothered to read through this report in detail. Just thought I would post it for information.

And then?

Did this pass?

 

[MichaelS]

It passed through Planning Commission on June 4th, item 7.2.1 in the minutes:

Calgary Planning Commission - June 04, 2020

pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com

The recommendation is that council (the ultimate decision makers) hold a public hearing and give first reading, and withhold 2nd and 3rd until historical designation has been granted. So, it passed that hurdle, now it just needs to go to the Council public hearing, and redesignate the historical building officially.

Opposition to this project is mounting and a 'Save 9th Ave' campaign office has now been opened in Inglewood.

haha, so true.

Christ. They let these abominable Torode buildings go up, but when someone wants to build quality architecture and a landmark, it’s “save our historic street”. Fu*k off.

 

[FCC1982]

No kidding - so frustrating.

 

[haltcatchfire]

Storeys over quality. What a narrow perspective.

Can we start a counter petition? I have no interest in preserving a "Small town main street" feel in an inner city neighbourhood lol.
