    General Construction Updates

    Considering making it down to city hall for an inperson statement. Do you know how long we'd have to speak? Would I have to sign up by the end of the day today?

    Calgary | Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    The train station will eventually also bring lots of foot traffic to the area - both tourists, and locals heading to and from Banff/Edmonton.

    Bow Trail is the coolest view. If we got more towers on or near the ridge it would kinda remind me of the view of Broadway across False Creek from downtown Vancouver

    Centre St is presumably much less of an issue for transfers than City Hall station, which was the main alternate proposal being pushed. City Hall is already extremely busy due to being the first Blue/Red transfer point. In this alternate reality, it probably wouldn't make sense for the North...

    Calgary's Downtown Discussion Thread

    Fix the podium to make it more friendly to urban life, but the rest is just not impactful enough to be worth the investment IMO. Living in the northwest, it's basically been hidden for most of my life anyways. If we're spending on art and "legacy" projects I'd rather the city do something brand...

    Far from unused! It has proudly served as Calgary's largest and most refined public toilet for many years now.

    It would be cool to see a canyon develop here over time

    Excellent proposal. Let's spin up a new organization to look into this, we will begin preparations in 2027. Before we publish our report, we will send it to the province for review, and if their opinion clashes with ours we will spend another 3 years to adjucate the differences. Expect to hear...

    which would make this 4.2km route 14 minutes end-to-end.

    Gondola transit is actually very underrated for short-medium routes without crushing demand because the speed isn't that much worse than a train but the frequency means you'll never be waiting long, meaning the total travel time can be amazing compared to alternatives

    I feel like you're underestimating how much the government explicitly prescribing "Reduced Driving" in that way would piss people off, haha

    Calgary Transit Fantasy Maps

    I'd prefer any new transit infrastructure added downtown be something that connects it to other areas, instead of being a local-only circulator. 7 Ave is already sufficient as an E-W connector in the north side of downtown, and Red + Green line will be sufficient for N/S trips in the east side...

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Just spitballing: what if Green Line N ended at 96 Ave, and the communities north of it were instead served by a spur off the nose creek rail line, running frequent automated trains in a s-bahn style service to downtown? This could potentially be done much faster than the centre st portion of...

    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    They would have received the 1st rd pick we got in the last draft from Florida (32nd overall, we drafted Cullen Potter with that pick). It probably would have been much better for our long term prospects to bite the bullet and ship out players like Andersson last year rather than hang on to...
