    Merge general urban development thread and construction thread?

    I vote no. One is for construction, the other is for urban planning/design.

    It shouldn't be that much longer before this one wraps up.

    I find that hard to believe with lower migration and the amount of units coming online.

    Agreed. There's no doubt that Kenney is trying to stir the pot. However, when you see a pig rolling around in the mud, you shouldn't try and wrestle with it.

    Aren't they renovating the Planetarium for a full sized Art Gallery?

    Perfect! It'll open at the same time as the City Market in the Arris building.

    9th ave or 5th ave is is a more ideal candidate for a cycle track than 8th ave.

    I could see the concerns if the proposal was an 8-storey bunker...but it's not.

    I kind of like the existing houses that are used for commercial use. They're kind of cute. I wish the Mcdonald's, KFC's and Pop Eye's on 17th could be replaced instead.

    Holy Shit! I can't believe this one is being protested. 5 stories on a 'main street' is more than reasonable. I think the design is beautiful. Oh well, I guess beauty is subjective.

    I remember that the development one block to the south(I think it's called 20/20 or something) stood vacant for several years with boarding around it. I remember the CA was furious with the developer.

    I'm a little disappointed. I wish they could redevelop that entire area of Bridgeland with a mast planned street layout similar to East Village or West Village.

    It breaks my heart every time I see that picture. That whole stretch of 7th ave has so much potential.

    Sometimes it's good to cluster one type of business together. If a restaurant is booked up, people can go to another one.

    Crane Count

    The last crane in East Village. There are currently no more cranes in East Village. :(

    Forum meetup?

    I'd be down.

    Crane Count

    I'm able to modify the crane count but I'm not able to log a new date for the crane, even when I delete a few previous entries.

    I agree. I never really held the same visceral hate for that building that everyone else did on this forum. My biggest complaint was that there were no balonies and the steps leading up to the CRU's created a weird streetscape. BTW, I like your username Benjamin.

    General Construction Updates

    Didn't Gravity have a proposal on this lot a few years ago? Edit: Sorry. It was the site across the street. http://www.gravityarchitecture.com/meredith-at-edmonton

    Calgary Buildings Lost to History

    It's quite easy. The people that want brutalist buildings destroyed today have the same mind set as the people that destroyed the pre-WW1 era buildings.
