I'll miss the mature trees, but will be looking forward to the sidewalk wrapping around the crescent. Not sure what kind of retail will go in, but it would be a great spot for a pub or cafe with a patio.

Great location for something like this.

Unfortunately just a concept for now. I think something will be developed on that parcel, but whether is something like this who knows. We're hoping the rumoured Allies and Morrison project is for that location.

Thanks Kora. It'll be interesting to see how the trends go. It's hard to get a good idea of a 25 year prediction from an 8 month trend. As well a lot of Calgary's growth has been strong inter-provincial numbers and a strong (relative to the other metros) natural increase. How immigration numbers...

Are recent stats? Not disagreeing with you, but curious to see what the numbers look like.

I recall seeing some from Josh showing the library. Maybe that was the one?

Ottawa's didn't make sense, even adding Gatineau with it, it wasn't much higher than today's CMA numbers. I don't believe the maps are apples to apples, as the Ottawa map might not have been the updated Ottawa CMA. I didn't take the time to go through and figure it out, but a quick look showed...

We have a lot of great contributors here, contributing on so many different subjects, from road work, to cycling , to building materials, to transit, to photo updates, to resto/pub discussion, to inside info getting mentioned here first, and almost any question someone poses will get answered...

It was from this post. Three of the four blocks adjacent to the intersection have developments under construction or very close to it. Lots of change coming to that area with 710 units under construction or with an active building permit, and the strong possibility of another 392 units. In that...
