If the streetcar was to be extended east from MRU, it would be attractive to go all the way east on 50th Avenue through the Britannia Shopping centre, and then south around the McLeod Trail area to Chinook Station. Benefits from it is it would provide a direct connection to/from Chinook area to...

Yes please.

I believe they are focusing on the river area for the rest of this year, and will handle the more southern parts of the park next summer.

Pumphouse Park and Pathway Improvements

Apologies, not the best use of words. I mean in regards of CRU's, there isn't anything being lost by the impacts of a elevated line. It doesn't have the urban realm potential like 1 Street SW or what they would like 3 Street SW to be like in the core. Those are streets that should be protected...

Seems like a fair trade off. The alignment were it would be elevated would have very minimal impact to any established business. 2 Street SW is a dead zone with nothing at all except at Stephen Avenue. And even then, it's only Barbarella/National on one corner. For 10th Ave, only business that...

Yeah, that part is confusing to me. Why couldn't the elevation climb start immediately by the Event Centre station? Quick Google Maps distance from 5 ST SE to 1 ST SW gives 1km. He said you would have to start from 17th Ave S to get the required clearance, which would be the distance of ~650m...

I think they simply mean the downtown terminus/7th ave connection would be at-grade.

Thanks for this. That's a large reason of why I would have preference for an at-grade Centre Street route. It may not bring about about a large number of +12 story buildings along the way, but it would make a very strong case for there to be a cluster of 3-8 story residential buildings built on...

Calgary has done a great job in the past in building it's LRT system to be as great as it is. Especially for a city at the population of it's time. But as the city continues to grow, and it's aspirations grow higher with each passing decade, so should the way we view the LRT, and rapid transit...

Tunneling is of the table, and honestly probably should've been way back once cost control started getting out of hand. This is a low floor train, do we really need to tunnel if viable alternatives are available that doesn't disrupt the quality of service? The province likely wants to do an...

I counter that it's not clear cut that beltline is completely off the table. The province is going to do their own assessment, and come back to the city with their proposal. But until the province says that beltline is a no-go, can't cut that option off completely, since it's the alignment that...

Do we know that for sure? If it's an elevated track on 10th Ave from 4 ST SE to 2 ST SW, that's very minimal impact to the Beltline. I don't think much people have really thought about the elevated track through there since it was never taken seriously by the city, but now is the time to give...

I feel we're overthinking if we're trying to figure out how to integrate or reimagine 7 Ave Transit Mall with SE LRT; whereas a cost effective simple solution may simply be just going with the elevated option through the Beltline and downtown. The transit mall is already at capacity as it is...

Or, as you're advocating, make it elevated through downtown. Considering it's a low floor train, and it's going to be bridged over the Bow for the northern crossing, I don't think elevated is a bad trade off if it could contribute to significant savings.

True, but with how the current project for the stub line is about what, ~6billion dollars? Would it be worth it to do say 8 Billion from North Pointe to Downtown or Highfield if it can make it that far within that price point? Seems a lot better ROI if you're going to be paying a lot up front of...

Auroa Business Park should have ample enough space. It's serving no purpose currently. It was designated to be the storage facility for the Nose Creek alignment I believe.

With this pivot from the province, I would hope this would finally push city council (and maybe the province if they genuinely are interested in the Green Line getting built) to strongly revisit making NCLRT the first phase, so from day 1 it would have strong ridership to justify the capital...

I do understand that it sucks that the Centre Street Station in the Beltline is cut, but considering that the stations on 7 Avenue are still walkable distance to 17th Ave (including the eventual Green Line one), the Centre Street Station was a luxury rather than a need, and it being cut doesn't...

At this point with the money that they do have currently with the province and feds, and the longer we wait, the more costly it becomes to do the core, just get it done is my opinion. But this is such a far cry from 2015, and then the 2021 version. It feels with all this time since it was first...
