Re-Defining Exurbia. Greybelts: The answer may lie in thinking big. The government’s release of greybelt land proposes a?common-sense approach?to edge of city planning by focusing housing delivery on areas that are previously developed. Can we use this logical starting point and stretch it a bit further? Written by Lucas Lawrence https://bit.ly/4epARsM

There are some great topics at the OHBA’s Housing Summit - the NAtional Building Code, soil gas and radon, tall wood, multi-unit housing, and strategies for regional growth and housing supply.

The previous Nenshi City Council was irresponsible in approving the Green Line project with tunnels through downtown Calgary’s underground rivers. It was a political compromise so then Councillors Gondek, and Druh Farrell, could see track beginning to head to North Calgary. There is no justification for underground tunnels through the most complex construction environment imaginable. Further, they created a governance problem by laying the project off on a “phantom Green Line board”, which had no oversight by the current Council. The current Council, City Admin and the Green Line board knew full well, at least two years ago, that the project couldn’t be delivered within the pre-Covid, pre- inflation budget. Why have they spent $1.5 billion to get to this point with absolutely no track laid, and a phase 1 route from nowhere to nowhere? It would be totally irresponsible for the Province or the Feds to invest additional taxpayers money in this ill-conceived and poorly managed project. In the Premier’s words, the project must be reimagined. It should go from downtown to Seton/South Hospital. Bus rapid transit and other innovative transportation solutions must be considered. This will be the most significant financial mess in our City’s history. As the Premier also noted, we have schools, hospitals, parks, rec facilities, homelessness issues, drug addicition, housing issues etc. to deal with. Continued mismanagement of this project will compromise all these priorities.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm and keeping the north alignment of the LRT in the public mind, this is in the "we have bigger fish to fry" domain at the moment. The province is firmly in the driver's seat and their prime objective is to make most efficient use of taxpayer dollars and extend the Green Line as far south as possible to maximize ridership. The north LRT, which has a business case, is second fiddle for the foreseeable future. https://lnkd.in/g--KuMk4
