Tough to justify redundancy with tax dollars maybe? everyone is super critical of how taxes are spent that sometimes we may end up making the wrong decision. Just my thoughts anyway...

City is having a press conference at 2PM today to discuss Stampede.

Anyone know if the new Elephant & Castle is open yet? they are supposed to be a soccer bar and Euro Cup is on...

I like the face mount balcony rails, looks more complete to me somehow.

All the trees in Calgary look great right now, this is probably the perfect time to not be able to water. Sounds like the additional breaks are all in the same area. Now I'm curious how much of this 11km line was inspected and how many other sections were built around the same time.

There's a formula the city uses with developers. I never get into it, just pass on the amounts when they come up in my Development Permit process. Once a DP is approved, the city will advise on the amounts, and these need to be paid in order for the DP to be released. A Building Permit (BP) can...

Such a beautiful city in the summer!

The pipes are 50 years old, I'm guessing there is a design flaw, or the idea that they were good for 100 years was just a guess that has been proved wrong. This is definitely a warning shot about aging infrastructure that everyone should be paying attention to.

They are closing the north parking lot at Edworthy Park (right by Angels Cafe) and part of the bike path, I'm assuming this is part of that. The city built a new pump station right there a couple years ago, wonder if the damage happened as part of that. 3-5 weeks is going to require some major...

I was hoping for a reveal sometime around the draft, and that's 2 weeks out.

I always head west out of downtown in the evenings, right into a headwind. Makes for a little extra cardio boost lol.

The brick is definitely better than the crappy metal. Would still prefer it get demolished and soon!

The Old Mill St on 17th is still vacant, was a live music venue forever, seems like a good place for Mikey's to go to.

I like the little strip of concrete they used between the road and landscaped area on the 13 ave greenway.

One down side of that is people walk and drive over them, so any nice planting would be trampled pretty quick. That's why the grass there always looks like shit.

The DP is approved and would likely still be active, no BP yet as far as I know.

Is it just me, or does it seem to be very very windy this year? Don't remember dreading cycling home this often...

Really? Words can't express how much I hate it. lol Maps

Odd name....

Sounds like this is going to stretch into next week at least now. Article
