I'm really interested in how they're building over the LRT. Keep meaning to learn more about it but... haven't yet.

Indeed quite a complicated site. I guess not having to excavate makes it easier though.

Agreed. It's nice to see Calgary get some interesting architecture.

Interestingly, I read that Calgary's library system is the sixth most used in North America, and second most used in Canada.

I had heard that too. I guess that's how they managed to justify the funding Which one is the busiest? It's gotta be To or Van.

Toronto is the busiest.both in Canada and North America, actually. Not too surprising given that there are 100 public libraries across the city.
