Always insightful and thought provoking stuff

They are perfectly entitled to come on here and defend their old hometown (implying they live here or another city now) against unreasonable disparagement. Just as some Calgarians have come to defend their office to residential conversion tactics, it’s a good thing to have local nuance that...

I wish one of the incoming mid rises near O-day’min park had a retail space big enough because a Nofrills would do numbers with all the incoming students. Maybe something we could see once there’s already a good population base around there

There’s a dashboard with all this information compiled already

True the 51 is pretty quick, and you’ve got StAT busses too. Just downtown then!

Fairly important transit centre though. I think a limited stop route to downtown and the UofA would be make some density here pretty appetizing

A more trivial detail, but the KM of track does not track (😛) with the Wikipedia figures either, but you have to buy the CUTA report the presentation is citing so idk who to believe.

Love this, no brainer for sure. Although 10 pm is disappointing, especially with on-site security present. I know it's hard to imagine at this point in the year, but this is 10 pm in June: Wish they'd extend it until dark at the earliest.

I will say this: I think we'd see a much higher standard of design if northern Windsor Park was vacant and then developed by UAPT. If UCPG were developing something in Dalhousie, that'd be a far more apt comparison to Michener Park considering distance from the Campus.

Wonder what was in those crinkle fries to make them so awesome 🤥

2 years is 13% of the time it took to build Eglinton, so relatively speaking lol

For sure, I appreciate when CityNerd goes beyond the US but it can be tough to account for absolutely everything when our jurisdictions are so variable. He also acknowledged that the Mexican cities were probably pretty under-counted

It’s like our very own Rideau Canal, how lucky are we?? 😍
