City plans to decouple public art funding from project locations after blowback to highway art installations
Coun. Kourtney Penner said changes to the policy will take art from the concrete jungle and instead embed it into communities.

Only if we can use them to block sidewalks in popular areas.

We need to mix it up a little bit, add more bull and cow sculptures in there!
I'm still waiting for sculpture of an astronaut riding a horse or a bull...or maybe a Magpie riding a skateboard!

After seeing the post of Calgary's old downtown street names, I think they should re-install them. I think it would give Calgary more character.
But I'm also wary of politicians changing these street names for their own panderous nonsense. It would likley become an absolute political shitshow. Sigh. I hate today's Canadian society.

Agreed - I think they should go back to named streets, at least for the major ones in the downtown and Beltline. It would be a good reminder that Calgary owes it's prominence to decisions made long ago by the CPR.
I'd also like to see Chinese street names in Chinatown be made official, and some of the German street names in Bridgeland brought back. Numbered streets are boooring, no cap.

I like the way they do it now, have the street number with formerly... written below it. Why spend a crazy amount of money to change street signs all over the inner city? My life isn't improved if I go to Scarth Street instead of 1St SW.

I don't think we will see any more residential developments from him. Whatever wealth he has left will be lost in civil lawsuits I have no doubt.

Not surprised. On the architecture front I also can't forgive him for that monstrosity in Inglewood.
