It's definitely better than the first render. What a mess that was.

I just wish they had canopies that would let light in, while covering the whole platform. The curved, solid roof reminds me of Soviet bus stops.

I don't understand how you can say it's soulless. It's honest, solid looking, restrained, and not sporting some trend-chasing siding (no random squares). I will grant you that it's bland. I agree that the reno/addition is better, but for reasons completely unrelated to architecture.

Yes, in early November.

I go to the Shoppers/Cobs/Starbucks on the other side of the block all the time. I will try to overcome my laziness next time.

I found an old proposal for this lot: https://www.abchousedesign.ca/bridgeland10unit

69 and 71 6A St NE, for anyone else wondering. Looks like two separate projects on the DMAP.

The what now?

Created a thread for this project.

Allow me to eat my words. DP2025-05400 was approved, and is past the appeal period. ✅

DP2025-00969 is Pending Appeal...

Housing projects like the infamous Pruitt-Igoe had "skip-stop" elevators.

Was there a grocer at one point?

Yeah, especially since the new track ends at Banff. Where is freight being picked up and dropped off between here and Banff? Maybe like a small amount of activity in Canmore and Exshaw?

Am I wrong in thinking a diesel train would be a drop in the bucket compared to all the auto/truck/bus traffic already on highways 1 and 1A, and the existing 3000 metre long freight trains in the corridor?
