With another year of data out, I can update my old charts with a full decade of data! Interesting takeaways for me are transborder really dropping off in the second half of 2025; along with continued strong international growth. Pre-pandemic, international was around 55% of the...

Reminder that Green Line downtown engagement page closes today. https://engage.calgary.ca/greenlinedowntown

Here's a few shots I took at the skijoring in Banff back in January. The town was packed!

There's a survey up on the Free Fare Zone: https://www.calgarytransit.com/plans---projects/long-term-strategic-plans/funding-our-future/fare-revenue-review/free-fare-zone-survey.html (Not sure why this isn't being done through the regular engagement process... But it's such an easy to remember...

Is it possible that some of the analysis you're looking for was done behind the scenes and not shared at the meeting you were at?

Local exceptionalism hasn't worked in Toronto or Vaughan, both of which have lost funding. Or ask Red Deer, whose council voted down the blanket zoning change in their agreement and lost every penny. My guess is that since each municipality submitted a list of proposed policies to CMHC, they...

Have I got good news for you about The Banff Centre!

Not strictly Flames per se, but an interesting view from the Saddledome's catwalk that goes above the scoreboard connecting to the broadcast centre.

A few thoughts: #1 - Don't mind the public building, but the residential buildings are somehow obstructive to me. #2 - I think this one has grown on me. Might be my favourite. #3 - lives and dies on how well the green roof works, and my guess is it won't given the harsh climate. #4 - I don't...

Here's the cleared sections in the area; my guess is that at least part of the reason is that Weaselhead is pretty limited as a connector -- other than Oakridge to Westhills or something. And it gives the studded-fat-tire crowd someplace to go break their arms. One thing I've experienced is...

I definitely wouldn't. A big challenge in transit system operation is communication and clarity, especially with less frequent users. Clarity is important, and starts in system design. Having trains always go to the same place every time is much clearer than anything you could explain with...

Here's my takes on the Free Fare Zone: How much revenue is lost to Calgary Transit? Basically none; very few people are willing to pay 4 dollars to take a train for three blocks. On paper, there's a lot of revenue, but the value is only what you can get people to pay for it, which is very...

If someone does have a genie on call, what needs to get built here is an active mode crossing of Memorial: Amongst other things, it would reduce the distance from the Bridgeland central plaza to the Downtown by 150m.

Thanks for your detailed knowledge! Also, hooray, the feedermain is open for business and restrictions have been lifted! I've already had a long-overdue shower.

Saw a CBC news story today about privatized water supply even closer to home... Installing fire hydrants and then just putting them out of service and fighting the county's attempt to get them working... that's willingness to innovate!
