Thanks for posting these. I don't mind the idea of cocktail napkin sketches, but the writing should at least be legible. This definitely does not seem like the work of a local.
1. 4th Street. Olympic Way. Stampede Trail. Festival Way.
Come on /Gob Bluth.
2. My understanding was that the 'greenway' was going to run on the south side of the CP tracks? Their drawing puts it on the south side of 12 Ave. Is there going to be a MUP running past the front doors?
3. I know the historical relationship between Flames and Stampede is complex, but there are a number of language gaffes here that don't demonstrate particular engagement with that partner/stakeholder/neighbour. Stampede has tried hard to streamline their branding...they like 'Stampede Park'. Not Stampede Grounds...not the Stampede Park (The Facebook?). At least they didn't call it the Round Up Centre.
4. The festival square definitely seems half-baked. Renderings shown it on SW corner...napkin shows it south of 14 Ave where Stampede HQ building currently is. Stampede will be relocating the Coke Stage once the 17 Ave level crossing is complete...seems like a great opportunity to collaborate on one great venue that can scale for different size crowds. So, I'm sure we'll just end up with two crappy venues.
5. Worst of all, they don't use the oxford comma.
