The article starts with "Calgarians are being asked to participate in a public open house in early September" so nothing quite yet. The headline is kind of misleading though - should have used the future tense "will be able to check out" instead of "can check out".

There should really be something more engaging on that cul de sac than a blank glass wall.

Are you referring to the glass looking placeholder in the picture in the Herald article?

That's just a placeholder. It's the site of the N3 twin condo towers. The ones without parking. From what we have seen of their design, they will be less interesting than that placeholder glass wall.

Even worse then, the supposed extension of Stephen ave should have active uses on it, not blank walls.

I'd go, but then I'd be taking a seat away from someone that hasn't seen the design yet.

I wanted to go, but missed out on the first AND second release of tix. I wasn't near my computer for the second release and before I knew it, they were gone too! Hope we will see some details posted here by those who are going.

Are they doing all the foundation work, or just shoring around the tracks?

One more week until this thing goes public.

There was a tweet the other day that a video would be online EOD Sept 5, so we should catch a glimpse then.
