Bulk of Calgary's Growth in the "burbs"

By Jason Markusoff, Calgary Herald
CALGARY - When Quimo Perez opened Cranston Cleaners in 2004, he barely broke even in his first year. Now, the southeast dry cleaning business is twice as busy.
The secret?Well, it doesn't hurt when the neighbourhood population grows from 2,692 to 9,140 over that time.
"It's a long-term shot," Perez said. "You have to be patient, because you have to grow as the community grows."
New suburban communities continued to capture the bulk of Calgary's population growth, the 2009 civic census revealed Wednesday.
Cranston was one of three subdivisions south of Highway 22x in the list of 10 fastest-growing communities, along with neighbouring Auburn Bay and Silverado. The other big gainers were around the ring road in the northwest, as well as the northeast.
Perez's business corners the market for Cranston and Auburn Bay residents who don't want to trek up the Deerfoot or head to McKenzie Towne for dry cleaning.
He predicted his businesses will keep growing steadily, until the communities stop growing--or another cleaner sets up shop nearby.
That would seem inevitable in Auburn Bay, which the census said has 3,466 people, but the developer predicts will be home to as many as 20,000.So far, there aren't any strip malls or even convenience stores.
Lani Tuveson experienced that pent-up demand for services when she opened a day spa in her Auburn Bay home last month. To her surprise, she's almost fully booked.
"A lot of my clients are mothers who can't get away for too long," she said. "So they're coming here instead of driving 15 minutes elsewhere."
To live in that community, however, is to live on partially completed streets, in some cases. The public board buses students to a school 15 kilometres away, in Lake Bonavista.
Jason Morris hopes an elementary school will arrive in Auburn Bay by the time his 10-month and two-year-old children are old enough to attend, although he's also bracing for disappointment.
However, Morris said his family is delighted with Auburn Bay, after moving three times in the last two years.
Morris loves the proximity to nearby Deerfoot Trail, which provides easy commuting, and the peaceful man-made lake in the community.
"It's still close to everything but you feel like you're separated," Morris said.
To try minimizing the city's future footprint, the proposed Plan It Calgary document calls for half of the next six decades' worth of population growth to occur in established communities through densification and redevelopment projects.
Developers oppose it, saying most people want to move to suburban single-family houses.
The west end of downtown and Marlborough showed some of the highest population declines, according to census data.
Meanwhile, empty-nesters and seniors staying put likely triggered drops in mature neighbourhoods such as Bowness, which had the greatest population decline.
"People who live in Bowness often just stay here," said 10-year resident Doug Waites, singer in a surf-rock band The Bownessians.
While one Bowness elementary was closed five years ago, the streets are still alive with children, Waites said. That his neighbourhood was the census' biggest loser puzzled him.
"I hope we're not scaring people off with the band."
