    Calgary | Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    White stucco would've looked nice behind the screen, especially with the lighting. I doubt this gray color will work well and have the same warm glow as the render (if they even end up including the lighting at all...)

    Calgary | Arts Commons | 18m | 4s | City of Calgary | KPMB

    The city actually did a centre city streetcar study a while back. I think circulators are not that great in practice. They waste a lot of time and track looping around for not a lot of benefit, IMO route A and D are the best because they serve those long corridors and would actually be useful...

    Calgary | Beltline Block | 118m | 36s | ONE Properties | Gibbs Gage

    It wouldn't surprise me if the landowner has discussed integration of the station entrance with a development
