How do I benefit from the bike lanes? I don’t cycle. I have not been to a library Since University because you know, the internet, but okay sure. I don’t particularly enjoy any of the ugly public art around town, but sure free for all to enjoy I guess, but a facility I would argue almost every single person in Calgary has used at some point, Flames or otherwise is off limits because it is to be primarily used for a for profit sports club.

Sorry but I don’t whine when projects are funded all the time that I will never, ever receive benefit from l, but something like this does benefit the city in both tangible and intangible ways despite (arguably) being a poor ROI is silly.
