With empty lots all with proposals in action, 17th ave is hot indeed.

Looks okay enough. I was kind of hoping for the towers, but the street level portion of this is no different than the other design, so in the end, not much of difference really.

Something u/c along 20th ave nw at around 12th street.

Well that’s disappointing. I loved the original design, but given how things have gone for the EV area I’m happy something’s at least getting built.

They aren’t wasting any time!

Toronto because there are 1 million different skyline shots from 1 million angles, and Ottawa, because they’re still trying to convince people they have a actual skyline.

It would be nice to see another high-rise. We’re kinda hitting a dry spell.

Bang on.

To the surprise of nobody, Nenshi wins, but what surprised me was the margin of victory with 86% of the vote in the first run. Clearly a lot of NDPers who are also pragmatists. Nenshi might not fit the typical NDP mold, but he gives them a chance to win.

Never say never ;-) 100 years from now, who knows, but Edmonton won't pass Calgary this decade for sure and most likely not in my lifetime. There's too big of a spread and too much momentum for Calgary. As far as the population to the south - Foothills/Okotoks/High River/Diamond Valley, they...

The area shown in Surreal's example would easily fetch $5-7 Million. You could take out only 50% of all interest generated and still get well over 100K each year. Teachers salaries should be part of the regular budget, no different than it is today, but the endowment money could go to smaller...

They used to do a good and beer show at the old BMO, I don’t know if they still run up but if they do, it’ll be way nicer in this facility.

He might not have a meter but he’s not on the previous low cost flat rate anymore, and would likely save money by going to a meter. The city pushed for me to get a meter, and I resisted, but found if I didn’t change, they were going to charge me a flat rate that was about double my old flat...

Nothing as far as development permits have been submitted, but the overall plan is to have mixed use residential on that parcel. The parcels that peak might interest are the ones immediately north of Argyle and autumn, where the old family student housing was. I hope they build something...

I would really like to see today’s numbers. With the Ctrain system increasing ridership by 60% since that time some things have changed. Anecdotally there’s no question the system has changed from a commuter system to more of a general rail system in the past 20 years.

I'm pleasantly surprised with this one.
