Unless you're as dumb as me and miss the first sign while an articulated bus blocks the second 🫣 Some red paint would easily solve this issue for other dunces Train is great though

Misc:

Anyways, I wanted to make a Stephen Avenue megapost, I'm still in disbelief https://online.flippingbook.com/view/912767953/ Cross-section: Intersections: Inset wayfinding is proposed on all blocks. Trees: Lighting:

Wouldn't blame anyone for not walking 3rd for 3 years 😂 Band-aid ramp upgrade was done but good enough until they redo the street completely

I assume the majority of savings is coming from the smaller station boxes themselves so at that point it wouldn't matter

I think it'll be fine as the LRVs themselves are only 42m long

Amazing progress...

I wanted to add that the Stephen Ave master plan is really worth a read. Probably the most thoughtful and people-first document the city has ever put out.

Ping An International Finance Centre, 599m

Stephen Avenue and 8 Street SW conceptual designs have been completed: https://www.calgary.ca/planning/projects/stephen-avenue.html https://www.calgary.ca/planning/downtown-strategy/revitalize-8-street-sw-project.html Stephen Ave Streetscape Master Plan...

This is exactly what I had in mind, luckily I don't think the current Stage 1 design locks us out of doing this yet.

💀

Speaking of quality park space over dry grass fields...

Even better 😁😁 I'm excited for those new trains. The exterior lighting will look wicked at night

A disaster of truly biblical proportions would have to happen for it to be tens of billions to be honest. ~250km extension of the Hokkaido Shinkansen has escalated to around $20 billion and a majority of the route is through mountain tunnels $30B USD CAHSR IOS I guess you could argue but you'd...

The main benefit of HSR would be economic development (bringing Edmonton and Calgary very close and international cool factor) if the private sector is paying for it I don't mind at all. I would like to see a publicly funded traditional rail service to run on the CP line to hit all the towns...

The land use redesignation has yet to be approved afaik https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=LOC2019-0082

Will this appear to visitors as an attraction or cruel deterrent? 🤣
