Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Great news about the UofC. Hopefully the City finds a way to finally purchase the part of Centennial Gardens where the grass and basketball court is. With all those students headed to the area, it would be a shame to lose a good chunk of activity and green space to another development
 
Dang! Does anyone have a link to the 8th Street upgrade plans? There is a lot happening downtown that will increase the public realm, vibrancy, and overall appeal of downtown.
 

official announcement
1,200 students is bigger than I thought the SAPL program was, is there other students part of this too?
 
I'm pretty sure that the City already owns the grass & basketball court portion of Centennial Gardens. It's a City Parks property.
 
If there was a land swap that happened to officially make the land Calgary Parks that's good news! I wasn't aware that had happened. Last I knew was that the City had a signed a lease deal for the land in order to install the basketball court but the land was still zoned for a high rise development and remained the property of the owner.
 
I wonder if the other faculty space occupying the old Central Library building will also move over to the new premises?
Yes, the plan is to bring all SAPL students under the same roof in the Nexen tower rather than the current arrangement which is a split between Professional Faculties on campus and the CBDL building (old central library).
