I don't think I've ever seen mossy trees like that in an urban setting in Calgary.

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

If we're lucky! They will probably mostly die from underwatering in the summer and salt in the winter.

Seems like they have temporary plugs in where the trees will go:

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

When will Calgary learn that tree boxes don't work in its climate? The most successful way to implement tree canopies in Calgary is through trenches

The new trees in marda loop have some kind of automated watering boxes on them, so hopefully they have something similar here

Those look like lamppost foundations.

Most new streetscape projects I've seen underway these days are using trenches/silva cells like 33rd ave sw, 8th street sw, 11 street se
