Sidewalk poured at Brewery District.

Honestly excited for the landscaping when this all comes together. The landscaping for the SE portion is actually quite pretty, and when looking at footage of the ION LRT in Waterloo and the Crosstown Eglinton, ours genuinely surpasses them in terms of aesthetics in my opinion. For all its faults, the Valley Line IS pretty.
 
CP ain’t moving from downtown Calgary. That’s a non-starter, I can guarantee you. Nenshi is just being realistic there. Railways are very powerful in Canada and there is very little anyone can do to force them to do things they don’t want to. Personally I think that’s crazy and wrong, but it is what it is.
 
Address: 7814 - 83 STREET NW
Planner Description: The City has received a rezoning and District Plan amendment application from Situate. The current zone is the Parks and Services Zone (PS) and the proposed zone is the Mixed Use Zone (MU h23.0 f3.0) which would allow: -Medium scale mixed use development. -A maximum height of 23.0 metres (approximately 6 storeys). -A maximum floor area ratio of 3.0. A proposed amendment to the Southeast District Plan is required to facilitate the proposed rezoning.
Status: In Review

Potentially more TOD coming along the Valley Line.

This would be right by Avonmore Station.

Nenshi is being "realistic" for Calgary. The green line has morphed from a bus corridor into a regional hub that ties in lines from the Calgary airport, Cochrane, Stoney Nakoda, Canmore, Banff, Red Deer and Edmonton at a Grand Central Station in downtown Calgary. It makes good economic sense for Calgary to want that arrangement because everything would flow through Calgary. Has anyone seen Nenshi backing a regional rail line from Edmonton to Jasper?

Now if we could only force the Brewery District to open up entrances to shops on the sidewalk instead of just the parking lot once this is done...

I think there could be more residential and commercial development at the Brewery District when Valley Line West opens.

I don't follow, the stores/businesses were designed for entrance from the lot not the street. Are you suggesting that the stores be rebuilt to include both street and lot access? I can see the 1 point of entry for the businesses as being easier to maintain their stocks...
