    Calgary | The Onyx Hotel | 14m | 4s | Leonard

    Best thing to go off of is their completed projects, and those are very high quality. Went to Penny Crown in their most recent project last week, what fun setting and the food was good too.

    Calgary | The Edgewater | 30.6m | 9s | Trico Homes | S2

    Something is better than nothing and maybe this can help something happen at the lot across 4th Ave and old CBE building across 5th and Macleod from that. The city needs to look at breaking the DIC lease and distributing their services to multiple satellite locations. The efficiency of having...

    Calgary | The Kenten | 40m | 9s | Davignon Martin

    Between this and Beltline Block, it is interesting to see developers choose to maintain the foundations of their projects. It makes sense but is still uncommon in Calgary, likely because we don't have an existing inventory of building stock that has aged to a point of qualifying for something...

    Calgary | Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    Strategic, probably: "How could they just use one colour like that?!"

    Infill Development Discussion

    Excellent points about the idealism of LAPs when it comes to what is planned (PTN, 5A) versus the reality. Also appreciate the thoughts on the fact all the work goes into them and then they are not followed as a black and white document but as a guide. Obviously, like most people here, I'm pro...

    My experience was different.

    That's more major infrastructure. Watermains still break and they're repaired but do you really think if the infrastructure is at risk of being overwhelmed they wouldn't upgrade it. See the main streets projects, underground infrastructure is a large part of that work. In my experience the...

    Calgary | Monty 44 | 22m | 6s | Eagle Crest | FAAS Architecture

    This is probably best meant for another thread, but the whole approach of spotty speed enforcement and safety campaigns are not working. Unfortunately, the best example I can find is seizure of bikes and scooters that don't comply.

    Infill Development Discussion

    The mayor and councillors need to articulate what they don't like about blanket rezoning and what they would replace it with. Saying you're going to get rid of something people don't like because as far as I can tell, people said "the homes in my neighbourhood being built are different than my...

    Calgary | Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    Season seat holders got an email today about the coming experience centre. They were offered an opportunity to fill out a survey about seat preferences for Scotia Place and were told they will be invited to the "Calgary Flames Experience Centre for a first look at this new venue and opportunity...

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    It is safe to say this isn't a game anymore. If the premier and non-separatist MLAs think their budget this year will be bad just wait for the capital flight of entertaining a separation referendum. I don't expect them to do the right thing and allow their party to fracture for the good of...

    Were those people in the last picture riding those electric motorcycles in the bike lane?

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    I think they're waiting on the other one (separatist) to come in before seeing if they had to do anything with the first one (Forever Canada). Because you get the petition doesn't guarantee a referendum: Once certified, Elections Alberta will submit a copy of the policy proposal (question) to...

    Calgary | Glenbow Museum | 43m | 9s | DIALOG

    I think those are for light standards; it's this section, around the +15, that is shown and has no trees.

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Some notes about some things I found interesting. The mandate from council is to use 2nd Street but not necessarily 10th Ave. I've personally tried to "square peg, round hole" a surface train on 11th and then begin the guideway portion much further west and turn it up 2nd Street but I do not...
