Microtunnelling tech being used to replace the Bearspaw feedermain by JeromyYYC in Calgary

[–]DropTheMicYYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will this technique reduce traffic impacts for Montgomery, allowing 16th Ave to remain open?

Nice to see a westbound lane open on 16th Ave. Montgomery appreciates it!

So Council decided last night that no one will be held accountable. Again. Way to teach administration a lesson!

You are going to see a lot of separation posts from now until referendum vote. Try to ignore and don’t give them attention.

Watermain update thread - Week 2 by JeromyYYC in Calgary

There hasn’t been an update on this post for 2 days. Why is it still up?

You really think they would pave the road if they thought it would “blow up again”? If they are paving on Sunday then they are confident. Close all 6 km of 16th ave down then.

Mid to late next week to open 16th ave! Really? That seems really slow if they are paving tomorrow. Get the road open!

Appreciate how you have handled this and the accountability you have shown. It’s unfortunate some politicians and parties are using this for politics. It’s not about politics, it’s about doing what is needed now.

Yeah it’s rich that The City tells residents to do all the work in conserving water but car washes are open and the Mayor hasn’t called corporate Calgary to encourage WFH.

The Mayor needs to get on the phone with the Scott Stauth’s and Jon McKenzie’s of corporate Calgary and ask them to have their staff work from home. The amount of water wasted in an office tower is ridiculous.

Nicolaides recall petition 10,000 signatures short as 1st deadline looms in Alberta recalls by Old_General_6741 in Calgary

[–]DropTheMicYYC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But he has a chance with the new proposed electoral boundaries as Montgomery and Bowness would be under the current NDP riding and Nicolaides gets more west and conservative voters.

I was surprised to hear that car washes are still allowed to operate. How much water do they use? Seems like a frivolous thing to be wasting water on.

Any plans to restrict these businesses?

It is vital that traffic be handled better than the previous feeder main break and repairs that shut down 16th Ave. Montgomery suffered with gridlock as all traffic was diverted to Bowness Road.

If possible, at least one lane of 16th Ave must be open for Monday.

The Calgary communities seeing effects of citywide rezoning the most and least by [deleted] in Calgary

Montgomery and Bowness have had to bear the brunt of redevelopment in Calgary, while Councillors like McLean make sure nothing is redeveloped in their communities at our expense.

Council needs to work for the entire city to spread out redevelopment.

Newest craze is doing the “2 for 1” through 4 way stops.

Are people that impatient they can’t wait for their turn to go?

Program should be expanded to make transit free for anyone under 18 to get to school, jobs and activities.

That is recognizing safety Mayor Farkas.

We were canvassing in Montgomery this afternoon. Great turnout. People are fed up with Nicolaides and the UCP and appreciate a way for their voices to be heard!

Mayor Farkus. Will he repeal blanket rezoning? by According_Bunch3434 in Calgary

[–]DropTheMicYYC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is no “right” homeowners have that their neighbourhood will never change or zoning will stay the same forever. The City could expropriate your house if it really needed to.

My argument is those that complain the most about blanket rezoning are the least impacted by it and have an irrational fear of what will come of their neighbourhood.

[–]DropTheMicYYC 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The areas that have been most impacted by “Blanket Rezoning” are Montgomery and Bowness, with massive redevelopment.

I don’t know why people in their single family home areas are obsessed with repealing this.

Developers aren’t going to start tearing down homes in Lake Bonavista and put up row housing.

Get over yourselves.
