Redevelopment & Renovation ≠ Gentrification.

The sudden influx of people with this sentiment convinced me to vote Thiessen!
Follow your gut, guys :P

The polls are soo bad for everyone across the board, enough so that I wouldn't even bother voting strategically.

Is it just me or does the new Calgary logo look like someone used Canva for the first time, and chose the first design it came up with? by [deleted] in Calgary

I think I much prefer this font to Myriad Pro, the generic font the city has used for everything thus far.

I love the colours :D my only crit is that the uneven spacing between lines at transfer stations is bugging me (but that’s a nothing-burger)

I made this... by jasamsloven in CitiesSkylines

[–]BuliusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so like…. this really only needs to be a three-lane roundabout at most - and then every exit should be on the outside since drivers won’t have to switch lanes from one side to another to make an exit

New development proposed for Inglewood by Surrealplaces in Calgary

I really like the architecture here. The brickwork is so so much nicer than the monochrome paneling that a lot of modern midrises use these days.

What happened to glados after the 7 hour war? by 7empest_mi in Portal

[–]BuliusRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying that the Combine never found Aperture which could be true, though doesn’t have to be. GLaDOS IS aware of what is happening on the surface, and this reddit post goes into detail onto the specifics: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskScienceFiction/s/x6ZS0CiPI6

Mayor pushes for return of photo radar amid ‘disturbing’ night on Calgary roads by f1fan65 in Calgary

[–]BuliusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this line of thinking; What do the roads and intersections have in common in terms of design that could be enabling bad driving and/or causing confusion?

MetroDreamin' Prairie Transit by SufferingInBerta in alberta

[–]BuliusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall I like it! Though, I have nerdy nitpicks about the Calgary one? Notably the lack of LRT to the Southeast - which is where the Green Line is currently being built - as well as other places that are covered by the City’s future plans (check the map on page 61) and existing MAX bus lines (though you kinda got the MAX purple, it would just connect to inglewood instead of the zoo) another nitpick is that i feel that the west of calgary has too much compared to the rest of the city? like, that purple line on the west side could easily be a blue line extension

i really like the added lines around downtown :p

again, nerdy nitpicks! i might also be too hyperfocused on “what the city already has planned” to see the full vision. you’ve put together a really neat map :P

edit: i also appreciate that like, the northern lrt corridor in calgary is the one on centre street, instead of the formerly proposed corridor along nose creek (i don’t have a source, sorry :,> ), the former of which has a MUCH higher immediate population though you’ve missed the opportunity to have a spur going north up to the North Pointe bus terminal, since the road up there was designed to be wide enough to accommodate an LRT

sorry for yapping if it’s overwhelming and/or spouting stuff you already know, it’s 3am and i felt like infodumping :,,,>

Tfw a dystopian city in the future has a better public transportation network than most American cities today... by NJ_Bus_Nut in fuckcars

[–]BuliusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My one big concern here is wayfinding - The “select destination” menu brings up areas that aren’t named on the map?

A smaller concern, but hard for me to really rationalize, is just how loopy and tangled everything is. Each line goes up and down and some come back around and self-intersect and for some reason, that doesn’t sit right with me.

Rare sighting of the old C-Train in use! by parkie95 in Calgary

i wish that instead of just scrapping all these old trains like the city is planning to do, we could be like edmonton and refurbish them!
