The intent of the Honeycomb tower is primarily airbnb investors, I just don't think they are allowed to say that.

I wish we would start seeing these. I hate working in concrete builds(due to need for hammer drilling) but what’s almost worse is working in standard wood frame building, so much drilling through joists and shit running out lines throughout.

I'd be curious to see an equal comparison of heavy timber to concrete these days to see what costs more.

The project at the Calgary Zoo also includes new infrastructure for the Caribou and Whooping Crane exhibits. The new Polar Bear exhibit will be located in the NE corner of the Canadian Wilds.

Wasn't the original idea to have this polar bear exhibit located where the Dinosaur park is right now and for it to include a substantial water component to allow for people to watch the bears swimming? Maybe I'm misremembering? These plans seem a bit disappointing compared to what was possible.

The last 20 year plan for the zoo came out in 2013. Within it was proposed that the prehistoric park be replaced by an Asia section with habitats for Siberian Tigers, Snow Monkeys, Takin, and a large tropical house by the main entrance. The spot where the Polar Bears are going in now was marked Bear 1 on the map originally included in those plans.

The revamped prehistoric section with animatronic dinos is pretty sweet. A key thing is that they are guaranteed to be perfectly visible every time, something that can't be said for most of the big animals.

I'd love for the Calgary Zoo to buy land in Drumheller and relocate the prehistoric park there whenever they plan to close the current one. The Tigers definitely need a new enclosure, they've nearly escaped on a number of occasions (I've heard stories while at summer camp at the zoo.)

If I'm not mistaken, the Plus 15's hours have been extended on weekdays from closing at 7PM to now closing at 9PM.
Not extended as much as I'd like, but this is definitely a little win.
