  Connect the people of downtown with the vibrancy of uptown

  

  Proposed over the years in City Council was the idea of having a "bridge" between the core and the Beltline. If I were to think in terms of building a civic legacy and had dollars at my disposal, I'd create a terraced park space over a block of the CP rail lines. For discussion sake, let's say between 4th and 5th Street, tying downtown culture with the walkable 11th Ave design district, 17th Ave nightlife, and 4th Street ...more »

  

  Proposed over the years in City Council was the idea of having a "bridge" between the core and the Beltline. If I were to think in terms of building a civic legacy and had dollars at my disposal, I'd create a terraced park space over a block of the CP rail lines. For discussion sake, let's say between 4th and 5th Street, tying downtown culture with the walkable 11th Ave design district, 17th Ave nightlife, and 4th Street restaurants and boutiques. A midtown destination site would cut the psychological barrier between the two sections of the core and create a central meeting place between the two culturally thriving sections of the city.

  Summer on the greened park podium could be home to outdoor festivals, buskers, performers, musicians, or an open air market.

  To create winter interest, a mix of permanent, spectacular, contemporary sculpture and temporary participatory installations exploring the winterized urban environment.

  It's time the world knows that Calgary is a world class culinary and cultural destination.

  Please vote for The Tasty Jazz Festival - "The World's Most Delicious Jazz Festival". As Canada’s Cultural Capital, Calgary would have the opportunity to start a new annual festival that invites the world to show off their very best food and jazz in a combined festival taking place in August at Olympic Plaza.

  As the inaugural Tasty Jazz Festival, I suggest inviting the city of New Orleans, Louisiana to come to Calgary and bring it’s very best food and jazz to share with Calgarians. As the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is a perfect choice as the first guests to share their exquisite culinary and music traditions.

  Future Tasty Jazz invitees may include Tokyo, New York City, Chicago, London, Paris, Rio or even entire countries such as Norway, Spain, Finland, Germany, Cuba etc.

  As 2012 is the 100th anniversary of The Calgary Stampede, I argue that it’s time for Calgary to begin a new tradition of showing the world much more than just Calgary’s western heritage because Calgary is much more: it’s a culinary and cultural destination. By inviting the world to teach us about their food and jazz they will experience ours in the process.

  The Geological Time Scale of the Elbow and the Bow Rivers in Calgary

  There could be a project in Calgary, with the consulting of professional engineers:

  For the reconstruction of the Elbow and the Bow Rivers as commercial waterways that would be engineered to the scale and the depth of the old world (EUROPEAN) river canals.

  The purpose of this would be for the proper rivers and water management in the future generations of Calgarians so that they will have the engineering in place for dealing with the melting of the Bow Valley Corridor Glaciers on an advanced geological scale of time.

  With the Bow Valley Corridor water conservation and the engineering of the Elbow and the Bow River in place for the next 50 - 100 years, as a long term plan, the rivers and water management plan will enable the rivers to withhold the extra capacity of the last Bow Valley Corridor Geological Ice Age that is now completely melting.

  Realizing this will be the first step towards a comprehensive dialogue on how the Elbow and Bow River Waterway Systems should be managed for the future generations of Calgarians.

  There would essentially be two new waterways reconstructed and re-engineered within both of the Calgary river systems for handling the increased water flow and the increased water capacity of the Bow Valley Corridor Glacier Ice rivers and glaciated frozen ice.

  The depth and the re - engineering of both Calgary Rivers as old world waterway canals would also provide hundreds of years of valuable tourism opportunities on the waterway into Southern Alberta on a Working River System.

  The Time to Start Re - Engineering the Calgary River Systems is becoming a lost commodity of time that will become an increasing water management problem without the proper management of,

  The ELBOW and THE BOW RIVER in CALGARY as the COLLECTIVE WATER RESOURCE for all people in CALGARY.
