It’s an imperative. Just as we are driven to build resilient whose progress doesn’t miss a beat, even communities—ones that work, that when the broader economic climate and attract attention, that invite people and the markets it influences are tempestuous. connections—CMLC embraces resilience as a quality crucial to our organization’s Success, we realize, grows from the inside long-term success. out and the ground up.

It’s emerging legacies and urban experiences that as a model for urban redevelopment—one are second to none.

Entertainment District. 4th Street SE cycle track CMLC worked with City of Calgary to plan and develop new bike lanes to make it easier and safer for cyclists to come and go from East Village. The new tracks along 4th Street SE are now complete, giving cyclists safe passage between RiverWalk and the existing 9th Avenue bike lanes—and onward to the rest of the city’s well-used cycle network. We also added on-street parking to 4th Street SE. New traffic signals at 8th Avenue, 6th Avenue and Riverfront Avenue SE improve safety and traffic flow for all roadway users. 5th Street Square improvements Though we opened this public square and gathering place in November 2014, deficiencies in the original ground covering impelled us to close the square for upgrades and repairs. This summer, we replaced the resin-bound gravel surface with glass impregnated concrete. The newly reopened gathering place will be home, for the next five years, to Dennis Oppenheim’s The Device to Root Out Evil—an impossible-seeming upside-down church that’s added lighting, height and colour to the square, attracting community events and shutter-happy Instagrammers alike. CMLC 2020 BUSINESS PLAN • 8 The Hat brings rental options to East Village Summer 2019 saw the completion of East Village’s first residential rental tower, The Hat—a 28-storey building by Cidex Developments that broke ground in 2017. The Hat is unique in East Village in offering one-, two- and three-bedroom units to appeal to all demographics—including a childcare centre right on its main floor (scheduled to open in 2020). Arris begins its ascent into Calgary’s skyline BOSA Development started construction on the much-anticipated first phase of Arris—East Village’s second residential rental building and part of a commercial-residential partnership between BOSA Development and RioCan Investment Trust. The first of two multifamily residential towers planned for the site, the Arris tower’s 26 storeys will bring an additional 190 rental units to East Village. Verve gets new retailers FRAM + Slokker’s Verve—a chic, contemporary and well-appointed condo tower in the heart of East Village— added to its slate of street-level urban retailers in 2019 when it welcomed Good Earth Coffeehouse, Hart Healthy Foods and V Medi Spa. Together with existing tenants Panago Pizza and Barber Culture, these new retailers give residents of Verve and all East Villagers lots of local options for eating, drinking and shopping! M2 activates RiverWalk Plaza M2 is East Village’s latest mixed-use building, and its completion gives Calgarians a few more reasons— and ways—to enjoy our spectacular riverfront. This four-storey building delivers new street-level retail (a second location for Bow Cycle and a restaurant by Concorde Group) that will open in 2020, topped by two storeys of office space and a residential penthouse suite. Built by Calgary’s XYC Design + Development and designed by Brooklyn-based nARCHITECTS, M2 packs plenty of architectural interest and energy into a small but spectacularly situated riverfront lot. U of C’s SAPL moves into Castell Building In April, U of C’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (SAPL) launched the City Building Design Lab—an innovative research hub now occupying the lower two floors of the W.R. Castell building. Since opening its doors, more than 100 public and industry events have been hosted in the space. CMLC committed $1.5 million to the program over the next five years to create unique opportunities for students to connect with the community and the building industries while they learn and implement practical innovations in design, construction and operational management. We are now a member of SAPL’s advisory committee and are excited that the school will soon be adding fresh talent and energy to Calgary’s economy and workforce. Development partners secured for David D. Oughton site In April, we welcomed RNDSQR as our development partner for a project that will transform the 8.77-acre former David D. Oughton school site into an affordable, multi-generational development designed to showcase the potential of Calgary’s diverse east side. Over the next two years, CMLC and RNDSQR will complete the development plan, obtain approvals, complete designs and prepare the site for construction. The first phase is slated to break ground in 2021, kicking off a new direction for the neighbourhood of Albert Park/Radisson Heights.

Year 4: Registration Drive - 2 - ELECTION ALBERTA - YEAR 4 FINAL REPORT INTRODUCTION Alberta routinely has some of the lowest rates of electoral participation in Canada. Recent data indicates that Alberta’s youth are the least likely to cast a ballot federally or provincially (Statistics Canada, 2015; Elections Canada, 2012). In the 2015 provincial election, overall voter turnout was 53%; youth voter turnout was much lower, at only 25% (Elections Alberta, 2015). There are a few factors that could explain Alberta’s lower levels of The fact that youth have felt disconnected doesn’t necessarily mean voter turnout: Alberta is the youngest province with a median age that they are disinterested and don’t care about particular issues. of 36.1 years (Statistics Canada, 2012), has the lowest levels of post- Youth are far from being apathetic about the issues that affect them. secondary enrolment in Canada, and the highest dropout rate for It’s about engaging with them in a meaningful way about the issues both university and college (Statistics Canada, 2008a).

    Private and Confidential. For X-Culture use only. 2019 X-Culture Global Business Week, Calgary, Canada Updated June 8, 2019 Challenge Presented by: Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) Contacts: Kate Thompson, VP Development [email protected] Website: https://www.calgarymlc.ca/#home-intro THE CITY OF CALGARY The City of Calgary is referred to as the “Gateway to the Rockies”. Calgary sits in the sunny eastern foothills of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet. It is the major urban center for the entire southern half of the province of Alberta, and is surrounded by an area of profound beauty with an unspoiled, resource-rich natural environment. It is no surprise to Calgarians that their home has been ranked among Top 5 most liveable city in the world by The Economist Intelligence Unit every year between 2009 and 2018 (#4 in 2018). The population density in Calgary is low, the quality of life is high, and housing abundant. Calgary’s population is young, well educated, entrepreneurial, community minded, generous and well paid. As individuals, Calgarians are family-focused, recreation lovers, that are committed to a healthy work-life balance. As citizens, Calgarians are enthusiastic supporters of community organizations: there are more volunteers in Alberta than the national average. The top priority of most Calgarians is sustaining the city’s superb quality of life. This means ensuring the economic, environmental, health and wellness, recreational, educational and social service advantages that Calgarians have today will be here in the future. A few helpful Calgary websites: Life in Calgary: www.lifeincalgary.ca/moving/calgary-facts Tourism Calgary: www.visitcalgary.com 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) was incorporated in 2007 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the City of Calgary to implement and execute the Rivers District Community Revitalization Plan – a public infrastructure program approved by the City of Calgary and the Province of Alberta to kick-start Calgary’s urban renewal.

    GC2020-0583 Attachment 4 Green Line LRT Updated Segment 2 (16 Avenue N to Elbow River) Alignment, Station Location and Concept Plan ISC: Unrestricted Page 1 of 45 GC2020-0583 Attachment 4 Executive Summary This document outlines the updated Green Line Segment 2 alignment and station location plan and presents concepts that illustrate how this segment might look like. Segment 2 extends from 16 Avenue N and Centre Street N south to the Elbow River in the Beltline. The alignment was updated in order to bring the project cost estimates within budget, manage construction risk, and best deliver the vision of the project. The updated Segment 2 alignment and station location plan includes: • surface-running LRT on Centre Street N; • a bridge over the Bow River; • 2.5 km of tunnel in the Downtown and Beltline; and • 6 stations (2 at surface, 4 underground). To develop the updated Segment 2 alignment, station location and concept plan, planning and design objectives were developed from internal and external stakeholder interests and from public feedback from Green Line public engagement sessions, community meetings and stakeholder workshops. These design objectives will be used to inform the development of the functional design for the project. Segment 2 – Updated alignment and station location plan Figure identifies sections of Segment 2 alignment that are at-grade (solid lines), tunnel (dashed line) and bridge (solid line with black outline).
