A $450,000 leasehold improvement is moving ahead in Calgary’s Downtown Commercial Core. The project is at #2800, 700 9 Ave SW, with Zeidler Architecture listed as the contractor. The work is classified as a vacant commercial alteration and the scope is identified as leasehold improvements.

At $450,000, it is the biggest permit Calgary issued this week. The City’s estimated project cost puts it ahead of the other commercial and general permits in this week’s group.

Calgary’s October photo enforcement list includes Albert Park/Radisson Heights, Auburn Bay, Bowness, Brentwood, Bridlewood, Collingwood, Hidden Valley, Highland Park, Huntington Hills, Marlborough, Martindale, Mayland Heights, Montgomery, Rundle, Spruce Cliff, Vista Heights and Whitehorn.

Photo radar vehicles will also attend construction zones where workers are present. The City says speeds more than 50 km/h over the limit result in an appearance before a judge. There are also 57 intersection safety camera sites across Calgary.

The proposed Alberta-to-B.C. oil pipeline now has a name and a federal designation. Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith announced in Fort McMurray that the project will be called Pacific Link and is the first project to receive national interest designation under the Building Canada Act.

The announcement was made Thursday in Alberta’s oilsands hub. Carney called it an important day for Alberta, while the project becomes the first to receive the new designation.
