    Calgary: Cars vs Pedestrians, Cyclists and Transit

    You pretty much said it yourself, "Car-centric" infrastructure Cars and car access existing at all doesn't mean car-centrism, as many are aware Hoboken, NJ has had zero traffic deaths since 2017 yet cars are still allowed everywhere. You don't have to completely be rid of vehicles, encouraging...

    I could still see parts of the concrete on the little temporary "bridge" Probably the very last surviving bits of the old station

    General Construction Updates

    I'm going to enjoy the shine while it lasts before it succumbs to the same fate as its little brother utility building

    General Construction Updates

    Probably some sort of lacquer that needs to be continuously applied, aka """unnecessary maintenance expense""" :/ Sunalta looked amazing in 2012

    General Construction Updates

    A few of the stations in the Memorial median are curved but this is definitely more dramatic, as if it was bent in the middle

    the OB ramp isn't even built yet haha I'm hopeful for the end product since it's already feeling great barebones

    Calgary: Cars vs Pedestrians, Cyclists and Transit

    an all-modes underpass also allows buses to be routed along 11th, something that doesn't happen with the current at-grade crossing

    Arc Smart Fare System

    Don't think so. TransLink allows open payment for bank cards but that only pays your fare and opens the gate, it can't be used as a Compass token

    Arc Smart Fare System

    I think that since the provincial fare card ship has sailed, the next best thing would be both Arc and MyFare allowing bank cards as account tokens. Even if you have to make two accounts you could use a single card between the two cities. I know this is in the 2023-26 timeline for Calgary, I'd...

    @O-tac mentioned how Haysboro is ugly haha reminded me of something I forgot to share. DP for an extension of Haysboro garage to increase indoor storage capacity. Whole thing will be painted white to match the extension: DMAP

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

    Also looks like the vast majority of the parking is actually for Park & Ride, the staff lot is puny in comparison. Dunno why I ever thought it was all for the MSF lmao, explains why the parking isn't included in the DP

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

    There actually are sidewalks, dunno why they're not in the render. However the parking lot is not part of the MSF DP and is instead going to be included in the Shepard station DP along with the bus loop

    Edmonton | Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    Well you see, these were designed correctly 🤣 IIRC TransEd said in their fuckup explainer video that the lack of sufficient rebar and design of the Y to have all three points along one line meant that lateral forces from the trains would crack them. Presumably Marigold put enough rebar in these...
