Not sure what these University District projects are, but here you go.

There's construction fencing up and a drilling rig on site between the North Hill Co-op on 16th Ave and the Petro Can. Anyone know what project this would be?

It might be the first phase of the co-op redevelopment

North Hill - The Winston on Sixteenth

The Winston on Sixteenth will be a welcome revitalization for the neighbourhood, bringing new amenities and fresh services.

I like this. It has kind of a cool retro look to it

Mathison Hall (Haskayne School of Business expansion) Breaks Ground Today

Slated to be completed by September 2022.

I keep forgetting to post this. I didn’t realize the city was structurally reinforcing the tip of Elbow Island Park, noticed on my 13 km rollerblading deathmarch to the Glenmore Dam the other day ? I also think that they are dredging out the south channel to restore its flow, I’ll confirm that later today.

Earlier designs were more cool. But alas, this will still be awesome.

Follow up: not sure if they restored the flow of the south channel or if it is just flowing because of high water levels this time of year. However, they have dug out a considerable portion of the island park and have also stabilized significant sections of the riverbank on both sides. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’re doing. The amount of excavation they have done on the north central section would suggest they’re prepping for a plaza of some kind. I am concerned by how many trees they have taken out on the east end though.

Slightly offtopic - I made a quiz for y'all to test your Calgary building knowledge

Good luck & have fun! (Let me know if there are any buildings you would like to see added/any issues with the quiz/have photos with better angles of the buildings)

FYI. The East Village Experience Centre has closed and the building will soon have a new tenant.

Century Gardens

 

[October]

I swear to god Century Gardens has looked like that for like 2 years now.

 

[Travisty]

I think you are giving it too much credit saying its stayed the same. This piece of shit has regressed since last winter. Maybe moved a couple of rocks. I don't know what will be finished first, this PARK, or the Green Line

 

[Surrealplaces]

Whenever it ends up being done, I'm just happy to see it more open. I think it'll be a popular public space once it's done. Not so much from all now concrete work, but because all those old conifers are gone and there is some openness to it.

I guess this is sort of construction related... anyways, anyone know why the Prince’s Island Lagoon has been drained for this year? I noticed it a week or two ago. They have clearly dug out a couple significant beaver boroughs. I’m guessing that’s why. Wondering if they are dredging it to restore the habitat a bit of what? All the beaver dams in the area around Prince’s Island have been destroyed this spring. Is this usual? I can’t recall.

Perhaps related to the replacement of the bridge from Eau Claire to the island? I believe that was planned for this summer?
