Maybe council doesn't like so much red anymore. Bring back the blue Calgary Transit scheme next!

If I'm not mistaken this winter Calgary Transit/City of Calgary contracted out snow removal around the bus stops and now that all the snow has melted I've noticed that whoever the contractor is has tore up a lot of grass adjacent to the sidewalks. I don't know if it is from using snowblowers or using plows but there are huge clumps of sod around all the bus stops in my area.
Is anyone else noticing this in their area?

Hmmm...I wonder if the same contractor also won the bid for repairing the damaged grass adjacent to sidewalks contract.

I did live in West Hillhurst and specifically moved because you densified it and turned it into a cesspool. Now there is gun shooting in alleys. You ruined Kilnarny. You ruined the Currie Barricks. City Council has a 30% approval rating. Council are on the wrong path. How dumb can you be? STOP STOP STOP.

You are pushing the UN Climate Agenda while taking away all of the green spaces scattered throughout the city that make this city liveable. Shame on you city of Calgary! You should protect every green space.

Are you kidding me? Row houses in Diamond Cove and other similar communities??? Has anyone been to Diamond Cove to see what kind of impact that will make?

And I absolutely do not buy into City Hall con job of the reasons why rezoning is required. It is purely 2030 propaganda and if you really want to address the housing crisis make it less costly for new community builds (ie lower taxes) and put a limit on the amount of immigration into Canada - it's that simple!

The City sought input on the Glenmore landing redevelopment. The City chose to do what the developer wants instead of what over 99% of citizens want. Aside from trying to create the illusion that this City listens to citizens, there is no point to the City requesting input from citizens.

Listen up!!! Ive worked and paid my outrageous property taxes ( since before Nenshi anyways) and bought and paid for a house in a quiet neighbourhood with single homes. I pray a fourplex is right beside your mayors house first!!! Then beside the council next. We dont need more houses, we need more brains.

Thank heavens my wife passed away recently before you do this to all our communities! I hate the idea of RCG everywhere, and she would too. We grow tomatoes in our little greenhouse and vegetables in our beds. These monster houses would block all of our light.

"NO ONE" indeed. Every home in which I've ever lived in my adult life has always been within a ~5-minute walk to a grocery store. Not even once have I ever "needed" a vehicle to get groceries. Such a suburban boomer yop goobler attitude.

Sorry to burst your bubble fellas, but that’s not me. I happen to agree with the sentiment that it’s going through the motions of asking for input when a decision has already been made, but I’m not wasting any time or energy on battling against this. I know it’s going through regardless.

But it's definitely Sliver with the comment about Nose Hill.

That comment is why I’m glad I’m not on Twitter. Imagine using that sort of stuff as your primary source of news.

There’s been a few of your posts lately that have been a welcome reminder (to me anyways) that just because you strongly disagree with someone on a number of issues doesn’t mean you won’t strongly agree on other issues. Lately it would appear as though a lot of people are in desperate need of being reminded of that.

I saw a decent comment to the parking issue:
If you park on your own property, then parking shouldn't be an issue. If you need to park on the street, then your house is equally contributing to the problem.
