General Construction Updates

Nice to see the Truman project get approved. IIRC there was some pushback from the community.

CPC next week, here is the agenda:
https://www.calgary.ca/PDA/pd/Docum...ssion/agenda/2017/agenda-cpc-september-21.pdf

Not a ton of interesting stuff, but a few items:
5.02, Truman's Memorial Drive project that just got land use approved this week, has their DP going for approval. Page 105/309.
5.03, A new pedestrian bridge across Bow Trail, to replace the existing one nest to Westbrook Towers. Page 161/309, rendering on pages 176-178

I checked out the new pedestrian bridge renders. It's nothing particularly special on it's own by the look of it, but I really like the proposed pathway improvements for the SW side of the road. Thanks for the share!

And for the record, nothing special is considerably better than what's currently there. "Nothing Special" beats "Communist" any day of the... baktun.

I don't think there's a thread for this so I'll post it here. Construction has started on the new YWCA building in Inglewood.

Looks nice.

 

[H.E.Pennypacker]

That will look really nice and really boost the end of Inglewood

Photo update for multiple prominent projects.

There is fencing up around the Booth Centre. There is also a trailer on site. I'm not sure if it is for the Hat or not. I don't think the fencing was there this spring.

I don't know what this is but took a pic of it. Country Hills Blvd east of the airport

 

[Surrealplaces]

No idea what that is. I'm up at the airport fairly often, I should do a photo update someday. There's a pile load of things happening up in that area.

Probably another hotel.

Is that Skyview in the background? I'd rather stay there than next to a meat packing plant.
