Is this the first CTrain station platform we have with a curve in it like seen in the photos?

A few of the stations in the Memorial median are curved but this is definitely more dramatic, as if it was bent in the middle

Will we need to mind the gap?

So in this modern world of ours, is there no way to treat copper for it to keep its shine? It's such a shame to lose it.

Probably some sort of lacquer that needs to be continuously applied, aka """unnecessary maintenance expense""" :/
Sunalta looked amazing in 2012

I'm going to enjoy the shine while it lasts before it succumbs to the same fate as its little brother utility building

It's too bad the copper doesn't oxidize in Calgary, I wouldn't mind the pale green it turns into.

Still though, i'll also enjoy the shine while it lasts.

The south side of the martindale stop is pretty curved and also right up against yards which I think is interesting.

 

[Duck Lightning]

I don't really mind the copper because they at least showed it's inevitable brown colour in the renders.

 

[MissingMiddle]

I like the patina look

The new Victoria station looks good. Such a massive improvement over the previous in. The abscence of the piss ramp alone is a huge win.

I don’t know the name of this project, but it’s u/c apparently.

That's the Kensington Mixed Use project. I've copied over to that thread.

Looked like excavation may have begun on this market street project in Seton when I drove by today. Took an extra decade but finally seeing something going up across from the hospital. Community Natural Foods is also listed on the Seton website as the main retail anchor tenant. I'll take that as a win! It's an underserved market in the SE.
