Finally a retail development slated for the former husky site on Calgary Trail.

Not too bad. Better than the empty lot.

'Epic Square'...

I miss the Salisbury steaks at the old Husky.

Not great, but from an urban design perspective I'm not sure what else you're really supposed to do here. The area is so inhospitable to anything other than the car that it almost feels inevitable. The area is such an island I don't know if anything except what's proposed would be successful, to the point that even basic moves like having the buildings fronting the street would be out of place. There's sections of Gateway further north that that's able to work, but this portion especially feels more like a freeway than anything else.

That initial curved hotel proposal would have been an upgrade and a half.

That initial curved hotel proposal would have been an upgrade and a half.

I agree, but can another hotel be successful at this time?

 

[IanO]

Likely not the best venture no and the proposal is fine, but the other was actually pretty significant and would have added a much different feel to the area versus this.

How epicly lame...

 

[northlands]

Darn, so the developers didn't listen to my suggestion to recreate the Whitemud amusement park here... that'd be EPIC

Calgary Trail development gets zoning go-ahead but without bike paths some councillors wanted

Looks like this is going ahead. Not including shared paths seems reasonable - there's no pedestrians here.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Looks like the project is no longer called Epic, it's now Ever
