Needless to say with my excitement of this project, I've been getting impatient.
Just a quick question though, am I not seeing it because its hidden behind some other buildings from my perspective (Like Brookfield or the Bow?) , or is it just not quite tall enough to peek out yet?

I don't think you'll ever be able to see it.

It's nestled directly south of Suncor so it'll be blocked by Brookfield I believe.

You can see it from the South now although just barely.

Brookfield is directly west, so it won't block from the NW. My image should make it pretty clear it will be visible from there.

Don't know if this will help at all in determining if Telus Sky is visible from Crowfoot, but I took this random photo a while back testing a new lens I bought. It is from this location.

It should appear roughly behind the top of that columnar aspen, or just to the right of it.

Thanks very much, that's neat. I'm glad ill be able to see it!

Anyways...

Anyone know when they plan on fixing the +15 between between Suncor and Hanover after the Hanover building slide toward Telus Sky's pit? It will be nice to get that lane on 6th open again.

Well it's taper is certainly more noticeable than a certain other building's taper in the background.

Are they getting ready to tear out LRT tracks again? Do they do this every 5 years?

craner · #**853** Posted **May 14, 2017, 3:06 PM**

^I was noticing/thinking the same thing - it's ridiculous. Put the thing underground already!

KoolKool · #**854** Posted **May 14, 2017, 3:36 PM**

i tried to create thí tower on sketchup but failed. its hard!

holhm22 · #**855** Posted **May 14, 2017, 5:58 PM**

The view from down the street is the best I've seen so far; you can really see the curve now!

Maybe start using rails that are made of North American made steel

P.S. - Didn't know that the back of Telus Sky was to curve as well. That's definitely something different.

The rails aren't made in north america? you'd think it would be too costly to import steel from anywhere else.

You'd be surprised. I was grocery shopping the other day and noticed some "Finnish Beef" on sale. Upon looking further, it WAS in fact imported here from Finland.
Because apparently doing things the easy way just isn't good enough for some people.

As if our endless supply of Alberta beef isn't good enough for some people.
Go figure though, the sensible, easy way of doing things seldom is.
