    Calgary | The Dorian | 98.45m | 27s | PBA Land Development | Gibbs Gage

    18-20 stories taller for residential and this would have been *chef's kiss*

    Covid-19

    My partner and I drove out to Southern Ontario just before Christmas (early omicron). Not a single place in the US we stopped at along the way had people wearing masks. We stayed in a hotel in Madison, WI, and on the news they said that fully vaccinated rates for Wisconsin were only at 50%. Felt...

    Things I didn't know I wanted, wow great idea.

    Calgary | The Theodore | 35.66m | 10s | Graywood | Arcadis

    This feels like it went up so fast.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Nice, hopefully the proposal is nice, and they can keep some of that open green space (or convert it into an actual park). I used to live on 25 ST in that 2nd house south from Richmond. Edit: Re: Visocunt Bennet site

    Calgary | EV606 | 22m | 6s | Alston Properties | ATLRG

    Definitely suits an ice cream shop I think!

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    https://www.sprawlcalgary.com/sprawlcast-why-calgary-needs-an-indigenous-gathering-place Hmm very interesting for sure and I hope it comes to fruition. That EV site would be ok, but honestly maybe they should just scrap Fort Calgary entirely. Move it's contents of value to the renovated Glenbow...

    Calgary | Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I don't think so, just better integrated...

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    I'd like to see it completely buried, and have the station straddle 16 AVE - thus pushing it slightly more North, and to have entrances on each of the 4 corners of the intersection. If the 16 AVE station gets built now as designed, becomes a temporary station, and then once the North extension...

    Trees in Calgary

    A few along the 16 Ave NE freeway too. They struggle to establish, but once they do, are great and provide some nice contrast. The native Wolf Willow is related to the Russian Olive, though it is a shrub, not a tree. They have the same textures and colours as Russian Olive and produce a nice...

    Trees in Calgary

    Not entirely true... I've noticed they've been using the slow drip bags a lot lately but even those need refilled every 3-5 days

    They're nice! But can't let them dry out.

    Calgary | BLVD Beltline | 118.87m | 37s | ONE Properties | Arquitectonica

    Would like to see some oak trees planted, if they can be taken care of well.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Airdrie and Chestermere, yes, likely. Cochrane and Okotoks already have massive tracts of McMansion Land between them and Calgary City limits. Making it less likely (IMO) that there will be contiguous suburban sprawl between those municipalities. At least not in the typical suburban fashion...
