    Calgary | Kensington Yards | 130m | 38s | Bankside | Allies and Morrison

    I know it's just renders and will get value engineered to death but I really like the attempt at classical exteriors it gives a sense of history and place. The reddit comments seem like just one crank. We must preserve the character and experience of quickly leaving or entering parking lots.🙏

    Calgary | Taza (Tsuut'ina Nation Development) | ?m | ?s | Canderel

    They are really moving along with earthwork and stacks of poly pipe and sewer on the western side of the development closer by Discovery ridge area. Been pretty consistent work out there since the fall. Hope we get some of the roads (and paths) built out soon to link each side up and start...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Howdy, new to Calgary living and been exploring as much of the pathways and lanes as i can the last month or so. While i don't commute its mostly rec riding here are some observations as a former Edmontonian. Generally well done, good selection of pathways to and from most areas of the city...

    Statscan numbers

    I never realized how ridiculous Calgary's CMA is until looking at that stats can map. Really misses some key bedroom communities. Still, absolutely bonkers growth. The housing builds in both metros is staggering, far exceeding anything i've ever seen in the booms of the last 20 years. We can...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Hey bud sorry it's a late response, but I can resist a plug for open street maps. The city uses an open street maps layer that is a bit more upto date with all the projects they have done. I've done a lot of work to generalize into "routes" for corridors as well to help with trip planning...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    I like that feedback you got. They need something to help drivers understand there is a bike crossing. It's pretty confusing for them. For cyclists it is like rolling the dice every time to cross a roadway hoping someone doesn't roll through it the time you get there. Anything being added to...

    Calgary getting yanked around on their green line is insane. What a colossal waste of money and time on projects that are well underway. I'm genuinely upset for them as i know that project was talked about forever. Her changes could have easily been implemented after the fact instead of wasting...

    Misc. Transportation Projects

    I know BRT is a dirty acronym for some but been thinking that 137th Ave is such a gigantic corridor it really would be a great cross town connector. Could connect from Clareview transit center right up to St. Albert's Naki transit center, hitting 97th street transit hub, the north LRT central...

    General Infill Discussion

    I know it's still pretty rough but old Beverly could pop off. It's far enough out of the way from the super sketch, character for days, loads of still affordable housing stock and the always desirable Ada nearby. I really hope younger people and developers jump into the area to invest back into...

    Commuter & Regional Rail

    +++1 Reece for a planning and consultation role, we got deep pockets and he is the most passionate advocate for rail infrastructure I know of.

    Commuter & Regional Rail

    If Reece is excited for Alberta rail I am too. Even if I don't trust the current government at all, a plan for the future we can work towards is a good thing. I also like his well thought out routing and speed considerations.

    Edmonton | The Mercury Block | 21.7m | 6s

    Ah didn't go back far enough, thanks! That is a nice compliment and the scale is nice for the area. Good stuff !

    Edmonton | The Mercury Block | 21.7m | 6s

    was i hallucinating or is there a hole in the ground and a few less buildings south of the Mercury block across 102? Presumably mercury block 2 is a go but is it more of the same? any renders or insight?

    Blatchford

    I didn't realize how much more road and lots they have built out, glad to see it's taking shape. Still beyond puzzling there is not walkway to the station from what I could tell, you would think that would be a key selling point now. Hope we get some more developers jumping in to put in some units.

    Alberta Politics

    Incredibly frustrating to watch. I don't think I can even say "at least the cities aren't so bad" anymore when talking politics. The amount of massive policy changes they have made in such a short time is nuts. I don't know how anyone could smoothly and effectively delivery on any single one of...
