U/D is good walking neighborhood but the total lack of bike infrastructure, and the poor integration of the BRT make it unpleasant to visit or leave without a car. It’s particularly frustrating because so much was done right, that the wrong choices stand out even more.

Amazing venue, but such an odd choice to run only a few days at the end of the summer, excluding Sundays.

The “break bulk” case for Calgary is that it was where Banff tourists have changed modes from planes to ground transport since the 1950’s, which made it the logical point for foreign oil executives to arrive in Alberta since the 1980’s.

There's single track on the east side of downtown over the Bow River in Inglewood, and also west of 14st. I assume this is a weird way of saying the province should build a second rail bridge over the Bow? Agree, it's such a strange press release.

Easy, just pay half the suppliers and the budget is balanced again! Being a developer is so easy!

The Westjet mechanics' strike at month end surely didn't help their stats for June.

Construction fencing is up around the existing apartment buildings. Looks like they are getting ready to demo the site. Fingers crossed that as soon as Hive is leased up, JEMM can move down the street and start this one.

It's the U20 team from 2022 that was in the CONCACAF qualifiers. Canada was out on penalties to Guatemala in the first knockout round. The DR and the US are the CONCACAF teams on the men's side.

This one is just like the Winsport lodge. Yes, the building is old and needs mechanical upgrades. Does it need $65M in mechanical upgrades? No. Would a complete renovation save some energy costs? Yes, if you look with a magnifying glass. Does it make a material difference? No. It's just a...

Wow only $65 million to save $27,000 per year in energy bills?

Nakiska is a going concern, although you could argue that Fortress would be doing something similar if Nakiska were never built

The lodge badly needed a reclad and surely some mechanical upgrades. It's busy on weekends but not oppressively busy. Unlike Sunshine, most people skiing at Winsport are just there for a few hours and don't really need to use the day lodge. More people will go into the lodge for a burger and...

The May update said "Options are being evaluated to address the cost pressures that were identified after the 30% design submissionmilestone in January. This work is being done in advance of the next Development Phase milestone in June 2024 with delivery of the 60% design submission and the...

Eau Claire Place II is currently undergoing residential conversion and has a +15 connection. But it's at the "end of the line" rather than the middle of the network.

I don’t think the lot has been sold, it’s the same Quantum Place application on behalf of Terrigno. Most likely nothing comes of it after the upzoning.

Apparently just after the Oilers knocked out Gretzky and the Kings in 1992

I would rate @ByeByeBaby's proposed spur to Torrington's World Famous Gopher Hole Museum just ahead of this one.

Commuter rail in the style of GO train, i.e. a few trains at rush hour from bedroom communities to downtown, is designed for commuting patterns that are far less common than in the past. In a world of hybrid work, it's probably going to have 1/3 the ridership that it would have 10 years ago...

Wow kind of shocked that this buy-back option existed but was never disclosed or debated. I wonder how long ago the City was first able to exercise it - I wouldn't be surprised if they could have done this a few years ago and just kept getting strung along by Matco. I'm all for selling a few...

Missed that one, edited it in!
