Interesting! I guess they managed to make a deal with the holdout homeowner. I’m glad they managed to get this property because it was going to disrupt the continuity of that block, and I was worried the lot they already cleared was just going to sit there vacant.
They recently listed the property that their Harrison showroom was supposed to be before they changed the building to purpose built rentals.

Looks great. Is it designed with modular construction in mind?

It is a prefab concept right now, tilt up. a few options I’m looking at. We provided a concept back in 2013 for Maggie street in Ramsay. There were 4 units on a double lot, with kind of a collective central outdoor space. the idea didn’t get a lot of traction then. I have to figure some stuff out, but from a density perspective I’m interested in this approach. It’s not perfect at all, but stay tuned.

I bet this comes down to zoning - upping the number of units would likely require a more onerous approval process, even if the building footprint or massing did not change at all.

Not sure whether someone has posted about it yet, but work on the Bow to Bluff has started. They cut down a bunch of trees a week or so back. A fence and pathway closure signs are now up just off Memorial Drive.

Was just posted about yesterday! Good timing on the update though. Good to know work is already underway. Welcome to the forum.

I asked the same thing a while back.
UW set me straight that this is unrelated to the market redevelopment.

may be way off base but i think there is a plan to make that stretch of crowchild free flow which prob means appropriating property.

According to the DMAP a new gas bar is slated to be built there. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2019-2919
I don't think those improvements to Crowchild will be coming anytime soon, the plans to make that stretch free flow are very long-term https://www.calgary.ca/transportati...rail-upgrades/medium-and-long-term-plans.html

I like the public art program, but you definitely raise some good points. When it comes to freeways, just use the money to make the infrastructure itself less ugly, no need for something you have to take your eyes off the road to see, or miss entirely! The Stony overpasses in the SE are decent, the mountain theme makes the concrete a little less boring and isn't distracting.
