They wouldn't leave gravel strips in the sidewalk, heavy rain, snow blowers and people walking would scour the gravel out and leave an uneven sidewalk.

Only way to fix that is to add residents... These conversions are a massive step up and exactly what downtown needs.

Jesus, enough bitching about this silly report! lets move on already...

We're ahead of Edmonton, Vancouver, Colorado, Nashville... Those teams are all pretty stacked, would be amazed if they finish below us. Never know what will happen though, the parity in the NHL is pretty ridiculous these days. I also think there is zero chance Andersson or Weegar are moved...

I like gondolas for crossing difficult terrain over short distances. Not sure they would really work for transportation in Calgary.

Yeah this spot

I'll believe it when I see it, so many FCC 2 proposals have come and gone over the years...

The fact that they are 11th is quite surprising, there are a lot of better teams below them in the standings that will figure their shit out quite soon. Currently we are 6 points ahead of 23rd place Ottawa, losing 4 or 5 games in a row will put us in the bottom 10. I'm glad they're competitive...

Yeah I agree we don't have that elite forward yet, Zary should be a 60-70 point guy, same with Coronato, but nobody in the organization will be a point per game player. The good news is we should get a top 10 pick this year and land an additional 2 first round picks. I think Conny addressed the...

Right, it was intended to double in height, forgot about that. Also, it housed a ton of equipment that would have a much higher load than condos.

Typically a parkade and the tower above it have completely different structures. The use of the tower above doesn't really drive the layout of the structure below, there is a transfer slab (or beams) somewhere that takes the loads from above and distributes to the structure below. If the...

The Flames still have a lot of draft picks and young guns who are going to get better. Just because they are holding their own as a mediocre team now doesn't mean that this is the model for the future. I'd also add that I think it's much better for a young player to learn the NHL game on a...

Wolf is the real deal, think this kid is something special!

My buddy always jokes that the correct number of bike to have is 1 more than you own and 1 less than will get you divorced haha.

That first one is awesome, even gives us a ski hill beside downtown! lol

It is a new gravel bike, bought it in July lol.

No studded tires yet, trying to find a new rear wheel for my winter bike, apparently quick release 27.5" wheels are tough to find. My summer commuter is a MEC gravel bike, debating whether to throw studded tires on that and ride it all winter. I ride the glacier path in winter and studs are...

Was fine for me.

Bike lanes are treacherous today, not sure how the city sucks so bad at maintaining these at the start of every winter...

Monster jam would be maybe 1or 2 weekends of the year. What I'm getting at is that the dirt would be used a minority of the time, so maybe they just make the Stamps do a road trip during Stampede, then keep the track dirt free the rest of the time. That would leave more flexibility for events...
