Between SNCF Voyageurs, CDPQ, AtkinsRealis, and Keolis, the number of Anglos involved in the project should be sufficiently minimized to ensure some level of construction activity occurs.

Yes it went very well from a project finance and timeline perspective. Probably the most successful transit procurement in recent Canadian history. The public did not like the inconvenience of roads being torn up for months.

Why? Walking from Central Downsview to Sheppard West is not a small distance, forget South Downsview. I will remind you that Downsview is comparable in land area to the Line 1 catchment south of College. These two stations could be built on a per station budget similar to original Line 4...

Not doing this would be incredibly shortsighted. The city has the potential to cheaply cut and cover and tunnel though the vacant Downsview lands and save billions of dollars. I'd argue just build the tunnels and station caverns preemptively now, then finish construction whenever we do...

The wide rail embankment cutting through neighbourhoods is really reminiscent of London.

Still can’t get over how strange this location is. This plan would be much better suited for the North Hill mall site or Brentwood park and ride where the LRT is immediately adjacent.

Good! 2036 is quite far but EMUs are the way to build world class regional rail, not electric locos.

The whole point of jets at Billy bishop is to expand range to destinations in the southern US, West Coast, Mexico, and Caribbean. Alto doesn’t change much on that front.

If Jane was chosen: I'd rather see a routing through Roncesvalles to Dundas West, then up the rail corridor with 1-2 stations in the junction before turning onto Jane

Is it still a plan to turn the parking lanes here into BRT lanes at some point?

crazy that the most expensive project in UD so far is one of the worst looking...

Moving incredibly slow for a CLT structure. Wonder if they are having fabrication issues or something? Supplier changed midway? Brock commons at UBC (18 stories CLT) topped out in just 10 weeks.

"Noise and vibration impacts." - my brother in Christ this is an electrified LRT line that will be quieter than a diesel bus. The only reason the current LRTs in downtown rumble is because they are street running and vibrate into the asphalt roadway. This will be built on a guideway with...

Really great project, office conversions seem to be more successful in Calgary than almost any other market in North America. Downtown Calgary can easily absorb 2-3x its current population. The single thing which will improve the vibrancy of downtown Calgary will be how many people can live...

Line 7 needs to be scrapped at all costs
