Yeah. When I first saw the proposal, I didn't know where it was exactly. I was surprised to see they'd take a chunk of Olympic Plaza for this. And Downtown Calgary isn't particularly green (nor are most Canadian Downtowns), so the loss of so many trees is regrettable.
But yes, very nice design for the Arts Commons expansion.
