As we all suspected, this site (all the RNDSQR lands east of Courtyard 33) are now listed for sale. https://www.cushmanwakefield.com/en/canada/properties/for-sale/land/ab/calgary/2202-to-2226-33rd-avenue-sw/s121496318s121496318-s

The City could try enforcing its temporary signage bylaw as well.

That’s great news! The block plan seems fine in general, and it looks like it proposes a great deal of density and good mix of uses. These large greenfield developments can just end up feeling a little too much like Disney World. I really like what they’ve done in U/D. It feels about as...

Little tech campusy. Hopefully they can learn some lessons from U/D and the area doesn’t end up overly monochromatic.

The proposal says a lot of the right things about naturalization, softening the transiting between natural and urban, unbundling the pathway, and picking up materials from the east end of the walkway. I have a hard time believing some of the structures (including the layered pathway) and pool...

That’s the old track that has been replaced by the Glenmore Track & Field Redevlopement project (https://www.calgary.ca/planning/parks-rec/glenmore-athletic-park.html). The new track is in the SW corner of the site, just north of the new/relocated tennis courts. Long-term, the area where the...

DP has been submitted for the new Glenmore Twin Arena (Stu Peppard Arena replacement) [https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2023-07720]. City webpage: https://www.calgary.ca/planning/parks-rec/stu-peppard-arena-replacement.html Construction: summer/fall 2024 to summer 2027

Cantenary lighting at intersections is interesting.

The video was spot on, but there was improvement against Seattle, and through 2.5 periods tonight against Nashville, the Flames have looked pretty good. Tbh, I don’t know if the Flames will ever manage to get JH going (he’s sitting in the third period). I think the Flames should change their...

Trying to decide between “Firehouse Brewhouse”, “Firehall Brewhall” or “Firehall Beerhall”. I agree the building would be great for a restaurant but also agree the location isn’t. I do miss the Enterprise. It was the most convenient car rental location for work. Either way, it would be great...

I like it. Also, these might be the most honest renderings I’ve seen. Didn’t gloss over the overhead lines, cracked road surface, broken curbs.

Demolition started today.

Or like The Kelpies.

Zary looked good.

City needs to put more stringent TLU requirements in place for vacant lots.

I actually started responding to the “bankrolling” comment but decided to leave it unsaid. Suffice to say, I agree with you. The taxpayer is bankrolling this thing via the City and Province, and therefore, the design should reflect that. Give me a building that is inviting on all 4 sides, not...

The problem with the Macleod Main Street is that it focuses on the wrong portions of Macleod (North: 50 Ave to Elbow River; South: Glenmore to Anderson). The focus should be 25 Ave to 9 Ave (both forks), followed by 25 Ave to 50 Ave, and then maybe Glenmore to Anderson if there is time/money...

It’ll be even closer (5-6 mins less) when the new event centre is built.
