The 3 and 4 plex has become quite common in Hillhurst, good way to add some density without building up and scaring the community lol.

Inglewood residents express concerns over city plans for new bike pump track
Bicycle pump tracks located across Calgary are amongst the most popular sites for outdoor recreational activity, but some residents in the southeast community of Inglewood aren’t on board with having one in their neighbourhood.

This city really needs less input from residents in all honesty. I am glad this never got public consultation earlier.This might be a new low

I cycle past that area a fair bit, and there are very few if any cars parked along 7th ave, so parking probably won't be an issue. There is plenty of parking in other areas around the neighborhood, and traffic shouldn't be an issue either. Some of the people will arrive on bikes, and those who arrive by car will enter the neighborhood and park. Even though the pump track will get good use, it won't be much volume.This might be a new low

The idea of the pump track is awesome, I've seen the one up by Glenmore, and it's always in good use.

There’s actually three residential buildings within a block of it, and the Delta is only a block away as well.
Residential within 3 (or 3.5) blocks - Telus Sky, Rocky Mountain Court, Carter Place, 122 3 Avenue SW, Element on First
Hotels within 3 blocks - Delta, Hyatt, Marriott
Institutions - Harry Hays Federal Building, Bow Valley College, SAIT School of Digital Technology, Telus Convention Centre, City Hall…
not to mention the insane amount of offices. I think it will do fine.

Yeah, the problem is not the lack of residents close by, it's that 1st is a car sewer

We’ll gladly take the funding for the pump track Inglewood doesn’t want…

If you would have shown me some of these skyline shots in 2010 I would have guessed they were a CtrlAltDel fantasy rendering. Amazing growth in the past decade or so!
