Even if they want a parking lot in the interim (policy says there is supposed to be no new parking lots downtown, but as I have ranted before, policy seems pretty fluid), hopefully they do something like that that I saw in Providence, Rhode Island with the facade...

There are numerous utitlities underneath that access road, so you can't put a building there. The best bet would maybe be some form of plaza, but fronting onto Bow Trail, not really a place to hang out.

Doesn't seem like it unfortunately.

Sad trombone....

A DP has been submitted for the parcel across the street from Shaganappi Station, at 1403 26th St SW. Relatively small, 40 units and a restaurant on the ground floor: https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-07062

That is a very good point, and perhaps my use of the word "official" may have been incorrect. Or at least dated. I think it is one of those things that long term staff in the (now former) Network Planning group knew about, and would reference/implement. However, it was lost in the updated...

I actually do know the reason for why that portion of 5th Ave was widened. This is (was?... might have recently been questioned, but only at a low level and no offiical decision one way or another) the official plan for the downtown streets, dating back decades. The plan for the setback is to...

I half suspect that queue jump was removed because the Suncor Centre renovations requested to have that outside land closed as part of their construction site. Because the group within Roads Operations who grants these closure permits doesn't interact with transit planning, the request was...

You can even get Council approval to do something, but apparently, still have it die on the vine. Anyone else remember the bus only lanes that were supposed to happen on 4th Street? https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/council-oks-transit-only-lane-on-4th-street-s-w The amount of "plans"...

It COULD.... I mean, anything is possible, right? But, like Calgouver said, the City probably won't... I hate to be cynical about it, but literal decades of experience in this has me siding with Calgouver on this. I have a feeling we will see cracked sidewalks replaced as is, and a milling...

Yes, they did it with 4th Sreet SE if I remember correctly. This allows the CPKC trains to keep operating while they dig out the north half. Then, they will build the underpass on that side, reroute the tracks back across the new bridge, and then build the south half where the temporary tracks...

Truman has updated their webstie and confirmed the brand. Moxy. https://trumandevelopment.com/hospitality/moxy-hotel/

I guess this thread is as good of a place as any to post this. As part of the massive capital spend that Administration is proposing to Council over the next decade, some details are starting to come out, and will be at tomorrow's Infrastructure and Planning Committee. Specifically item 7.9...
