    Infill Development Discussion

    I’m pretty sure I did, but I don't know what the rules are in posting it since it would effectively doxx Bruce Graham.

    Infill Development Discussion

    It's so frustrating! And to read accounts like Bruce Graham's in the Herald today is irritating for how misinforming it is, though well-intentioned. In Graham's case, the properties in question were not part of blanket rezoning, but were instead rezoned R-CG with a city council hearing. This is...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    The 15 avenue cycle track isn’t even open yet, is it? Bell’s complaint about that is (unsurprisingly) baseless. And if the 11 street track is partially closed for construction and doesn't really go anywhere right now past 12 avenue, it sure seems pretty selective to pick this spot. We have such...

    Calgary | The Sentinel | 24m | 6s | Arlington Street | Jackson McCormick

    A fence is now surrounding the building. RIP interesting and recognizable structure. Too bad they can't be taking down the one on the opposite site of 14th Street instead.

    Nice of them to invent a generous plaza and sidewalk on the SE corner across the street.

    General Construction Updates

    This sucks. There are surface parking lots in Inglewood and the Beltline but, no, let's get rid of the buildings people actually like.

    We've taken to calling them the "memory stick buildings" around here.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I wonder again why developers in this city are so enthusiastic to demolish buzzing community spots like these instead of the strip mall across the street. In this case, they would also remove the nice small retail bays. There are nine businesses in Western Block alone. This drawing shows two...

    It is bananas how often developers in this city are more content to demolish perfectly great pedestrian-centric retail instead of the strip mall across the street.

    25th Ave SE LRT Grade Separation

    Yeah, it's probably just going to end up as green space if that's what they go with.

    25th Ave SE LRT Grade Separation

    None of these options are particularly terrific. Options B and C have the same problem, in that they assume that Macleod Trail can be pedestrianized, but it can't be along the south-of-Beltline stretch. Nobody's going to be hanging out on the lawn between Macleod and the tracks, as illustrated...

    Me too. Hope you don't mind, Surreal, but I borrowed one of your photos to do a quick (dumb, sloppy) mockup with a few extra storeys. Just a silly thought experiment.
