Wonder how come they don't do more variety in their colour selection. Maybe for special events/acknowledgements like this?

Jesus, looking at the tower from the west right now (8:20pm) the glare from the crown is BRUTAL from the sun right now. This tower just want damages our eyes in all ways possible, doesn't it?

Does any CA approve anything that's over three stories tall? It feels like the primary purpose of CA's is to maintain status quo by how often they reject any urban build. The ones that do get endorsement feel few and far between.

Then why not keep dragging their feet on the technical issues? If the province has now finally given the okay on that - with councilors saying they aren't even sure what they really were in the first place - then why make this play instead? I get the skepticism due to the wording of Eau Claire...

The costs to make McMahon have a roof/retractable roof is prohibited. During the prime summer time, spectators don't want to be inside a closed venue. Football outdoors on a sunny day/evening is a top experience you can't beat for that activity. So the only time it makes sense is during the...

I definitely think that no matter what, there should be a bridge crossing at Bow River and at grade alignment for Centre Street from the beginning since it's obviously going to be significantly cheaper than a subway that's not really necessary; functionally, economically and environmentally. It...

I wonder how come they don't propose adding a ice arena to the centre? The new event centre is suppose to have a community rink included in it; assuming it doesn't get scrapped. But Respol Centre is a good location for hockey rink in a dense area that's absent of them for the public.

I could see in the long term the possibility of some SE (Seton) - NW (University Area) train line that basically connects all the major activity centers and institutions along the way. Although I would suggest that instead of going to Westhills, the line makes it's way over to 14 Street SW, and...

Looks like they still haven't changed the drive thru access off of 17th, and unsurprisingly getting a refusal recommendation once again. Why won't they just have it along 16th Ave only? I'm sure that'll be satisfactory to the planning committee then...

The communication for the SW portion definitely is lacking. There hasn't been any update or clarity on the Glenmore 60 speed limit debacle between EB Sarcee/37 Street has there? I really hope that's not permanent.

At this rate, doesn't seem far fetched to believe Ottawa Senators will have a new arena before the Flames do; despite there's being newer than the dome, and they don't even have an official deal/location established yet for the new one!

The shot showing off all the towers on the west side of the downtown area really highlights how much development has occurred around there in the past decade+.

Farkas RE: anything:

Ugh, with the Green Line delay, along with this covid bullshit, it would suck if this project gets delayed to an unknown time for next year or beyond. It would be nice to show signs for the city continuing to move forward during this hard time economically (and emotionally) by seeing multiple...

Is it anticipated that Centre St north of 16th Ave to 64 Ave will still have 4 lanes of traffic for vehicles? I thought it's intended for it to be 2 lanes the whole corridor, and the intersections for turning may be widen for turning lanes? Centre Street should be converted as a transit...

Yeah, I would be really interested in seeing why the NC component is so much more damn expensive compared to initial predictions. That seems waaaaay too much for an at-grade line unless the cost for ROW acquisition is that expensive. Looking at sataltie images, I figure the city needs to gain...

I mentioned having more stuff on 10th Ave will help Sunalta turn into more of a destination community. Looks like another brewery is coming into the community. https://www.tailgunnerbrewing.ca/ With this, Two House moving down towards the west side of the street, and Sunalta Heights...

FYI, Max Purple is being extended to Chestermere by end of the year for two A.M./P.M. rush hour trips. https://www.calgarytransit.com/content/transit/en/home/rider-information/regional-transit/chestermere.html

Speaking of 24th. It's kind of weird how their isn't a transit route along it between University DR & 14 ST NW. With the student population and it being a inner city community, that's a part that should have a strong transit connection with the university and foothills hospital considering how...

For real? (Not sure if serious or not, haha) If so, that's really interesting for modern high rise to not have AC.
