    Don't forget the larger RiverHall too.

    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    We can drop actually I think to as low as 6th overall. If the Maple Leafs win the lotter and a team below them after wins. I can't remember how high a teams can jump but we can fall further. It is what it is. May 5th will be a nerveracking day.

    The technology is not there. In theory, sure it removes human error. In reality, at this point these systems are good in controlled and straightforward environments where they can react immediately compared to a distracted human, but they fail a lot of the times too. Someone I know has a Tesla...

    I wonder how long until they give the exterior of City Hall a facelift... I know they're redoing the interior floor by floor it seems. Or is that one of those things that the City wouldn't do because money could be better spent elsewhere?

    The clouds do stick to the fire and ice theme, after all where there is smoke (clouds) there is fire.

    Norway... a place with winter... how is this going to work on a snow day like yesterday. You can't just hire a thousand drivers for snow days.

    I know why people dislike it, as you say this section of Beltline is a snapshot in mediocrity.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    On the topic of support for homeless people... BeTheChangeYYC, which supports the city’s vulnerable population, had been told by the city last July it would need to vacate its home of five years — at 316 7 Ave. S.E. — by Dec. 31. But that deadline was extended by the city as the non-profit...

    The dislike of this is so funny to me, it blends into its surrounding buildings. Looks like it has been there for awhile haha.

    Calgary | Library Square | 21m | 6s | Bankside | LOLA

    If the DIC closes by the time Scotia Place opens and all these projects are well underway and nearing completion, I expect the empty lots to have something proposed, including that one south of the Superstore they just cleared. There's just too many other positive things going for East Village...

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    Goes to the list of hotel construction. I'm sure that's some feedback they've been getting. I still think there is at least one more to come, at Scotia Place. I've personally given up on the one near the Casino. Maybe the area in the NW of the BMO gets one too but I don't think there will be...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    You cannot forget about the inefficiency of suburban communities versus the efficiency of the inner-city communities because of their density and the density of services. It might not change the tax burden that much but that's not the point, it is about aligning the priorities. It isn't...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Not to bring this into this thread but having recently been to to Europe, I cannot believe the race to the bottom that we conduct here with stuff like bike lanes and parking. If you're too stupid to figure out, you can't park in someone's driveway then you have to deal with the consequences of...

    This is going to be world class! McElhanney’s trail design team helped to create our mountain bike and hiking trails. All of the trails are designed with the guidance of former pro mountain biker and now master trail designer Matt Hadley. Based out of Canmore, Matt and the McElhanney team are...

    I don't mind that the Flaming C is imposing here. The wood detail will be nice and softens the building. I know they call it an Indoor Plaza but it just isn't. It is a lobby or foyer at best. Again, the wood detail around the concessions is nice. Not sure about the ceiling...

    Roads, Highways & Infrastructure

    I'm wondering about the Sarcee widening, with SW Stoney open, I'd be curious to see how that has changed traffic counts. I use to take Sarcee all the time, now, never.

    Are those tunnels under the different roads for bikes (in green)?
