Any news on the old YWCA site downtown? Someone posted a photo on reddit of the building with a large "Priestly Demolition" banner on it but there's no permits on dmap or myproperty?
Damn... This is the chainlink district between this and the old CBE building.semi-permanent chainlink
Article about the Polar Bears coming to the Zoo. It says the renovated Canadian Wilds section of the zoo will open to the public on December 1st. Given how few details have been made public about the project, I'm curious to see what it ends up looking like. I'm also curious to learn what will be happening to the dinosaur park as I'm fairly certain that area was originally meant to be the polar bear exhibit as recently as a few years ago.

Can someone remind me the name of the project at the corner of 4th St and 17th Ave SW that is currently being demo'd?
Agreed, I would love to see some form of differentiation. A whole lot of "noise" on that map. I would also love to see another layer, besides land use and DP. Infrastructure projects. Things like interchanges or Main Street streetscapes. Make it red or something, and create a hatch area that is the boundary of the project, and include a link to the engagement page or the approved plans, along with a status of funding.
I think Seattle's map is the gold standard, but granted haven't looked around too hard at other jurisdictions:

Yea there's already a 3D base layer of the entire cityThat is neat. And honestly, the city of Calgary probably already has the data to make something like this, and just needs a better public interface for it.
