With 99 trees slated for removal in Marda Loop to make way for the Marda Loop Main Street Project, a local resident has started a petition to save them from the axe.
Business owners in the southwest Calgary community of Marda Loop are pleading with the city for financial relief following months of construction delays that are leading to drastic revenue losses.
The City of Calgary said work in Marda Loop will move away from storefronts in December to reduce disruptions for businesses during the holiday shopping season.
Three of the city's popular pedestrian-friendly places where Calgarians like to shop, dine and drink are hopeful that people will return to mixing, mingling and spending, now that warmer weather is on the way and most pandemic restrictions have been lifted.
