There is no such thing as concrete that's engineered to cool anywhere near as cold as -25. It has to be poured warm and then kept warm until it cures with blankets and/or tarps with heat under.

Can you imagine the drive along the 417 in 10 years? It will truly look dystopian with a hundred nearly identical basic CharcWhite buildings. It will be the sad dark antithesis to Vancouver's glassy seafoam towers.

Sure I'll grab one next time I'm in the area!

Amazing shot!!!

Thank you for generating the thread @Ottawacurious! I echo what everyone is saying on SSP. Another CharcWhite for Charcling Avenue. I absolutely despise this proposal. The visibility of all of these copy paste RLA CharcWhites on Carling from the 417 as people transit through our city is...

'Too Tall'. FFS. Here's how they would look in Calgary, a Canadian city around the same size (purple).

They just cancelled the Rapibus extension as well. https://www.ledroit.com/actualites/actualites-locales/gatineau/2026/02/26/le-prolongement-du-rapibus-mis-sur-la-glace-2RCOFZV3GNCLRB4U4IVDQDPHUU/
