I’d rather we spent the 100 million and did the tunnel, even if it meant holding off the north leg a bit longer. 20 years from now people will be asking why we didn’t tunnel it to 16th. It’ll be so much more expensive and so much more of a hassle to do it 25 years from now.

Nice to see so many projects suddenly going.

My fingers are crossed, but I’m betting it’ll be brick as per the rendering.

Interesting stuff Beltline. I didn’t move here until 1998 and never knew much of the back history. I’m curious to where the population numbers from past years come from? I couldn’t find much on Google except for this site and I don’t know if it’s accurate.

Love the canyon look on that last pic!

^That is one huge pile of earth, anyone know what it’s being used for?

I believe so. No render if the second tower but the DP shows the plans to be the same

Lower incomes. The average wage in Montreal is way lower than a Calgary, Ottawa or Edmonton. Even though the average price of a house is cheaper, the wages, being much lower, and the property taxes being higher, make it less affordable. You also have the fact that immigration is driving housing...

Wonderful proposal. Certus knows how it’s done!

Interesting name, and good on that guy to donate 50 mil. I’m curious to see what it ends up being called in the end, I’ve heard lots of people call the Tom Baker Cancer Centre of the Baker Centre. But calling this the Child centre sounds like some hospital for children or something.

I like the way this is turning out.

I went to the lilac festival, and buzzing is a good way to describe it. Super busy, and if I’m being honest, may be a bit too busy. Either way, it’s nice to see so many people downtown out and about.

As long as they actually finished the race lol

I went past there this evening, the area was buzzing with people, mostly due to the ice cream shop, but there were a few people hanging in front of 19+2. 19th is turning into a nice little high street, it only needs a couple more developments to flesh it out.

Someone mentioned COOP dissolved the relationship with Quarry Bay. Hopefully they pick a company with a track record. RioCan would be a decent candidate.

I got it from this site. I don't know where they got the numbers from, it might be only an estimate on their part. https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/20370/calgary/population It shows Calgary as being 1,640,000,000 for 2023.

That’s my prediction also. Edmonton will stay close but lose ground most years, and every once in a while Calgary will mop the floor with them like they did last year. In 10 years Calgary will be 250k larger and will start pulling away.

Should be in that range. The most recent estimate for Calgary metro was 1,640,000 so 1.7M sounds about right.

It's been a long time since I checked this thread, but not much has changed :(

The Flames beat Dallas last night, and looked solid. Maybe there’s hope yet.
