In regards to upzoning, I think it makes sense to do it in stages, rather than a single, city-wide blanket like (I think) GGG was proposing.
Let's be realistic - it's not like Calgary has such a shortage of underused or brownfield sites that we need to start upzoning across the city so we can teardown corner lots in Edgemont or (*GASP*) Bonavista to develop 4 townhomes.
I believe the city implemented a "Main Streets" upzoning policy recently, where properties along arterial roads are upzoned... Let's work our way through that a little bit first before we get on with something like blanket 4-stories-everywhere zoning.
