I can see current residents harbouring resistance to the proposal. However, as someone who lived in the area for 25 years, and has seen many forests turn into subdivisions over the years, I'm far more offended by the horrible ugliness of the community of West Springs as it stands than by this proposal.I have a few actual concerns with it. First, if it's anything like the rest of West Springs, don't even bother (see below). Second, as stated earlier, where is all the added traffic going to go? The existing infrastructure is already having trouble with what's there. Third, I'm glad they could incorporate some of the original wild land, but I'd love to see more. The whole area used to be forests and fields. It would really be nice to have a natural area of the standard of like Nose Hill, Edworthy or Fish Creek right up on the hill. It wouldn't have to be as humongous as those parks, but don't just turn the hill entirely into sub-urban hell. Three-point-five-ish-ly, most of the the public space their proposing as it stands is pretty sterile. Why is there no soccer field? Why is there only 45% of a basketball court? I fear its going to just be an overwrought modernist wasteland when it's done.One thing I'd be very keen on is if the larger proposed structures have a mixed-use component. I think it would be great if they had some shops and eateries mixed right into the neighbourhood. I also hope that having such a dense population centre immediately adjacent to 85th will help it in maturing into a more interesting and diverse service centre.Another plus, the plan appears to include the Sikh Society of Calgary, which has been there since god knows when. Too bad for the West Springs Free Methodist Church, but I imagine they'll probably have made a pretty penny off the real estate once all is said and done. Maybe they can build a nicer looking church with their capital gains.I was married at the Saint Michael Roman Catholic Community there, it's nice, it's clean, but man does it feel sub-urban. It really lacks personality. No church should ever be made of Calgary Neighbourhood grade stucco.I've been considering starting up an Ugly Calgary Architecture Thread over in the Design and Architectural Style sub-forum for some time now. One of my lead offs was going to be the bizarre conjoined cul-de-sac/streets West Cedar Point & West Cedar Rise.Not only are the streets odd, but the house are horrid. The finishes are cheap, the proportions are all out of whack and the workmanship is shoddy. It's just putrid. Here are some highlights.And the Mother of them All:
