All the cores they dug out were still piled on the ground (sitting on poly too) as of last week. Not stoked they just left it there.

Are you referring to the TransAlta project?
Maybe for Green Line?Not surprised, the main building is virtually empty and there was some soil samples/coring work being done there in June.
1St is a mess currently with all the utilities being relocated to there, this seems quite likely.Maybe for Green Line?
Good god is that the stucco colour? Lol. This is why we need Form and Character Guidelines for a proper DP submission. Then the Development Authority can at least point to some architectural and urban design guidelines so that this shit is unacceptable. This is 100% multi-gen family housing, there is a reason that Surrey had specific guidelines for this to deter absolute trash like this.Snapped this photo of a new infill on 20th NW. Not sure I'd make those design choices but to each their own.View attachment 493263
When some family came to visit this summer, it definitely felt disconnected walking from Inglewood to downtown. There were nice shops on both sides then suddenly train tracks and a parking lot, it makes the walk seem longer than it is. Maybe not the best for permanent infrastructure but not sure why in the summer they don't open for people to hangout/picnic on the grounds with some temporary food vendors.Possibly an unpopular opinion, but every time I pass by Fort Calgary, I can't help but think the land could be better utilized. The pathways through there (both cycle and pedestrian) are busy all day every day of the week, but the park is always empty. There is a lot of park space, and I can't help think some of it could be developed. Not all of it, but some of it. Developing some of the area could help fill in the gap between downtown and Inglewood, and allow the possibility of soem retail facing the pathway seeing as the city has missed out on that opportunity in other areas. Thoughts?
It would be much better with trees and might get used more. The problem as it stands now, is it's a huge bare section of grass, and not even good quality grass. There's almost nothing useful about it.I know the area is often used for festivals, but I have always thought the area should be planted with trees to create an urban forest for future generations, and mirror St. Patrick’s Island Park.
