Thoughts? I support this idea. s. |
In the winter, I intend on calling it the pearl necklace.

Great idea, wrong street.

I don't think it's the best street for this, necessarily, but certainly will be a welcome change to 13th Ave. |
Nice idea, but $5 million for a 5 block stretch? Seems a little steep but what do I know.

I agree with some of the sentiments here, yes the greenway sounds great, but I'd like to see all streets be improved to have adequate sideways etc before going all fancy-pants on one of them.

10th is full of sites that will undergo a complete transformation in the coming years, and as part of that I think the city should implement some guidelines as to what kind of development takes place on the street level. I think doing anything right now will be a little pre-mature.
I like the idea of the 13th ave greenway, but want to see more renderings before deciding if it's the right project at the right time. |

The sections without sidewalks that are littered with mud filled puddles between 7th and 5th and between 2nd and 1st streets are a colossal embarrassment to have in the core of our city! When I have friends visiting Calgary I specifically avoid walking them down 10th in those areas. What kind of modern city has dirt ruts instead of sidewalks in their inner city? Anyways… Back to the issue at hand… I think in the long run 13th will be a great street for this type of streetscape improvement… there are some great parks and buildings along this street which would benefit from a good connection, Hotel Arts, Central Memorial, Lougheed House, New CBE Building, Connaught school, etc… there is hardly a stretch longer than a block without something interesting along it. |
