    Calgary | Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I'm not a fan of the arena subsidy, but Salt Lake City just announced that they want an NHL expansion franchise and they have an arena that could accommodate NHL games. I bet they'd choose a relocated team over paying a $650 million+ expansion fee like Seattle. If there was still no arena deal...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Agree with all the points being made. It's unfortunate that Calgary Transit is such a strong opponent of any street safety or traffic calming measures that may require busses to slow down. As another example, here's an excerpt from the 2020 report on potential speed limit reductions, and the...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    A raised crosswalk likely wasn't added here because of the transit route on 16 Street. Calgary Transit has been a staunch opponent of raised crosswalks or speed humps on any roads with bus routes, because their buses would either have to slow down (delaying them by seconds) or affect the user...

    City Parks, Rivers, and Wildlife

    I expect the City will be looking to develop a paved pathway connection through the park approximately as shown below (following the existing more gently sloped dirt pathway that already runs across the hill). This would be a great connection of a missing link between Cougar Ridge / West Springs...

    Sunalta

    Great to see the new Two House Brewing open and packed on a Friday night. But with just the one bike rack, over 20 people had to lock their bikes to a railing, sign, tree etc. I put in a 311 ticket asking the city to install more racks nearby and hopefully others will too - i've heard...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    One thing to note about any suburban community in Calgary built in the last 4 years or so. Almost all lots are zoned to a minimum of R-G (similar to RC-G in the inner city). This means that the developer, and any future owners, can build up to 4 units (depending on lot size) plus secondary...

    Calgary | Scarboro 17 | 15.85m | 4s | Bow Developments

    There was a mobile crane unloading several trucks of pre-fab walls, stairs, etc. today.

    I heard Safeway/Sobeys were tearing down the building to expand the parking lot...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Thanks for that interesting and detailed analysis! Despite the average trip distance being fairly low, I believe I heard in a previous Lime presentation that Calgarians on average take longer e-scooter trips than most cities - perhaps because of our extensive river path network. In the City's...
