Development engineers at the city are very inflexible on allowing any design that requires a garbage truck to back up onto a major street - this is 100% driving the site plan. They could easily push the moloks to the west side of the site and free up a massive patio area if there was...

The way the entire site is fenced off makes it look like they are prepping for demolition. Didn't see any signage indicating what's going on.

This is one of the best designed and executed mid-rise projects to go up in Calgary in recent years.

There are a few Khmer places in town but they all have either Thai or Viet menus with Cambodian dishes as well. Makes sense given the popularity of those cuisines. This place is legit: https://goo.gl/maps/hVqreh9XWawnnXiv9.

Lynx is actually great - can't say the same for Flair unfortunately.

We still haven't had anything that comes close to replacing Tantric Tuesday! (in terms of mid-week nightlife)

I love your enthusiasm/ideas and I share your desire for improving 14th as a main street, however I feel like there's some naivety embedded in these comments. There's obviously a lot of improvement to be made but it's also important to strike a balance between the functional needs of the...

Also, this project has a nice massing and the cladding is inoffensive. That’s a win!

Don’t get me wrong, I live in the area as well and I’d love to see the improvements you are talking about. I’m just pleasantly surprised to see the investment in multiple towers in the area given the current condition. The challenge with 14th is that the street network design in Sunalta, Mount...

The stretch of 14th Street in that area is one of the worst pedestrian streetscapes in Calgary. It's amazing that anyone would want to live in the vicinity! Less than 10 years ago the City completely ripped up and rebuilt the street but didn't make a single pedestrian improvement nor plant a...

Agglomeration economies.

Montreal and Vancouver are the cities we should be emulating. Not Toronto.

It's bananas but Calgary is now a primary distribution point for a ton of industries. Goods land at the port of Van, are shipper here via rail or truck, broken down in Calgary, and then shipped back to BC via truck.

Brilliant contribution to the discussion! May I interest you in SSP Local Calgary. 🤣 Just stating my observation that the lane is sparsely used - the river pathway close by is a much more pleasant ride so people tend not to take the bike lane - and 3rd Ave is not particularly close to centre...

It's funny, I crossed paths with her when she was running the RE program at Haskayne and she seemed fairly centre-right and market oriented. Then an election rolls around and she's suddenly a hardcore lefty.

LOL so dramatic. Will Gondek be the Rob Ford of Calgary?!?!? I kind of hope so... would be extremely entertaining! Honestly I bike through here all the time and those bike lanes on 3rd are hardly ever used. If you don't use it, you lose it!

Correct - the 1600 Patio tucked back there is a nice pit stop when you're doing a lap around the reservoir.

Never really thought of this but it's crazy that Fort Calgary doesn't even have a replica of the fort!

I'm actually surprised at the lack of opposition to this thus far given where it is in the city. If this was 10 years ago, local media would have kicked up a real ruckus. Remember the fuss over the BRT?

We are 3 days away from the 8 year anniversary of this project being announced. Wow!
