When Calgary gets bigger it would be nice to see this city get around to building a big city promenade along the river on both sides. Something like this would be suitable:

Building a city destroys the ecology of what it rests on top of, but that's what a city is. I bet there were some nice patches of grass where the Suncor towers now stand, but we have to build cities somewhere. The river's edge makes Calgary look like a frontier town. Get rid of it.

I don't agree whatsoever. You should see what they are doing with the rivers edge at the East Village and Prince's Island Park. Gorgeous.

Cities around the world are re-naturalizing their downtown rivers. Only SSP fanboys have such a hard-on for all things "urban" that they'd propose regressing to former days. It's usually the same people who would suggest that places like PEI might benefit from a few skyscrapers.

Do you have pics?

Some cities are doing that. It has its place, but not on that stretch.

If you want to see it you can easily look it up yourself.

It also looks much nicer in person. I personally like the one at Prince's Island park. It's more of a chill space to just hang out, surrounded by trees and such.
