Is that the render for what the trees will look like in 20 years?

Huge sidewalk and double row of trees! Well done.

Wow. Banff stepping up. My vote is #3

Interesting that they are copying the window style. It kind of works. These windows that barely open for any fresh air is not my thing though.

Yeah, tearing down that rare heritage building was a mistake. We make a lot of efforts saving a couple good buildings and pat ourselves on the back while happily tearing down the rest.

Is that a CRU on the corner?

Love the big plaza on the corner

I remember frequently taking the Spadina streetcar when I lived in Toronto. It was often was faster walking rather than waiting for and riding the streetcar. There were a lot of reliability problems with the timing and scheduling of cars and with the streetcar system in general. From that...

One of the basics of LRT is that it has to be faster than the bus. LRT is obviously more comfortable than buses, but speed has to be there too. We want to avoid the catastrophe of the Finch West LRT, where travel times are much longer than the express bus that it replaced.

Love it. Looks a little like Disco Stu Two

This is such an exciting project. I think the mass of balconies in a giant row is a mistake though.

Crops for cars?

Blue for Conservatives? Red Sky City? Blue Sky thinking. Yeah, I saw it when I visited and I thought, "well that's kind of obvious" and "what a waste of money", but I kind of like it. These marketing things are always meant to be very simplistic.

The Calgary Economic Region already incorporates Okotoks and the population is 1.955 million. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2020020-eng.htm

I have a feeling that in the coming years, maybe in a decade, Calgary will often be at the top of this list
