Here's the proposals. That's some pretty hilariously large towers directly above and adjacent to tons of new development, parks, seniors homes, housing and potential development.
Can't they just use a drill and put a conduit under the gynormous 16th Avenue N right-of-way? Seems pretty short-sighted for wildly large power towers. I don't recall seeing this scale of power line in similar contexts in Toronto or Vancouver or any bigger city really.

I believe as part of the regulatory process they are required to propose the most economical option in their mind, and present alternatives. Since they make cost plus as a regulated utility, it is important that they don't propose the cadillac option only, but let the commission decide the tradeoff is worth it.

You know they wouldn't try to do this in the NW, SE, or SW...stigma of the NE continues on.

Think that's been planned for a while, no?

Saw a line of cement trucks at the Douglasglen condos across from the park and ride on 114th yesterday. They’ve also dug the full parkade for all 3 towers. Must feel bullish on the greenline.

Foothills aka Burns Stadium is no more, the former home of the Calgary Cannons. I saw A-Rod, Tino Martinez, and others when they were the Triple AAA home of the Mariners and Pirates. They had the best hot dogs too.

So they'll be ready for next school year, quick fix but a fix was needed. Still this influx of more children downtown isn't going away. I'd like to see a permanent solution in some empty office building.Portables:
