I like the new bridge, but then again I hated the old one.

Can't remember the name of the project or which thread it should be in but this is the pocket park in Kensington under the LRT bridge yesterday

That’s the linear park, called Bow to Bluffs Park.

Nothing too exciting, but they’re starting to install the wood slats on the new RiverWalk barrier…

Why wood ?
Looks great today but a year from now it will be all grey & weathered.

I dunno? Cause it softens the look of concrete? CMLC has people that come and re-finish the wood every spring. See RiverWalk benches for more info.
Anyways… this photo would be so dope if my camera weren’t such shit, but here’s 4 cranes in one shot

Glad to hear there is annual re-finishing on the Riverwalk wood elements (benches etc.).
As I say, it does look great as long as it’s maintained.

Wood that's properly treated (stained, painted, treated with acitate) should only need to be refinished every 10 years or so. You don't re-stain your deck every summer do you?

I shouldn’t have said they do it every year as I’m not 100% sure now. But I do know they just redid them this year, and I’m pretty sure they do it yearly but not certain.

Railings for the bridge have arrived on site, the interface is moving along well, and the island-side steps are complete.

Not sure if I'm the first to mention this, but Google Maps has just updated their 3D renders of Calgary!
Also I think the renders in general have gained a higher resolution.

I heard a rumour that Vibe (the smaller twin of Verve) might be back on the table. Either that or there is an interested buyer. With half the foundation already built, I’d imagine it would be a pretty easy sell, and a very easy build.
