At times it feels like this City is run by idiots. They should've just removed a lane and expanded the sidewalks when they were renovating 17th Ave a few years back. It's like they push the can down the road purposely to have something to deal with later.Not really sure where the best thread is to post this as it's kind of a public realm/street thing but also a proposal for the urban environment. Either way, 17th Ave BIA is looking for feedback on the idea of possibly closing 17th Ave to vehicles during the summer.
Not sure if a seasonal/occasional street closure will help or hinder businesses along it. They sure suffered whilst construction was occurring. Would not be impressed to a repeat of that! Having said that, as long as the businesses are in support, as a citizen I would be too!At times it feels like this City is run by idiots.

Wasn’t there a proposal for the parking lots between centre & 1st SE? I believe it was 4 buildings??Anyone aware of a potential 4 tower development on the current TransAlta site between 11th & 12th Aves and Center & 1st Streets SW ?
That was the Exchange project, and it died about a decade ago.Wasn’t there a proposal for the parking lots between centre & 1st SE? I believe it was 4 buildings??

Unfortunately the development permit for that site seems to have stalled out and hasn't been approved (due to lack of response from the developer I think). Not sure if GWL is still interested in the project.Meant to mention, Amaranth on 4th Street officially closed its location about 2 weeks ago. I wonder if they're preparing this site to move forward with the new tower.
One Properties has other focuses I have heard, Metro Ford might still be a while. It is not their East Village project either. Stay tuned, something should be coming in a few months.....Not sure if this has been brought up yet, there's a Land Use sign up on the Staples site across from WVT. It was submitted by O2 Planning on Dec 22, 2022. I'm not sure who the developer is.
The Land Use Redesignation calls for a CC-X mixed-use district with a max of 12.0 FAR based on incentive programs (Ex. Affordable housing provisions). For reference, Cidex's 170m Elbow River project is 11.5 FAR.

Edit: Oh, in other news, One Properties has moved their 9th ave development to the top spot on their website's "upcoming projects" section and have released a brand new retail brochure, so maybe there will be movement on that as well.

Edit 2: Also, let's not forget that Metro Ford has officially moved out of their old location between the Staples site and the One Properties site, so maybe all three parcels will have something on them within the next few years!
Next steps are to be shared in the fall, but administration is recommending an active modes only crossing. Keep in mind this is just the functional planning study, and doesn't automatically mean funding for construction. There are a lot of functional planning studies sitting collecting dust for projects around the city.Any idea if there is a timeline on an underpass for 11St rail crossing?

11 Street S.W. Underpass Functional Planning Study
The City of Calgary is undertaking a functional planning study for 11 Street S.W. / CP Rail project area.engage.calgary.ca
Not surprised, the main building is virtually empty and there was some soil samples/coring work being done there in June.Are you referring to the TransAlta project?
