    I think I mentioned this before, but I agree with you that it would be more of a urban development project, rather than a rapid transit project, which I'm down for. I think there would be even more justification for building the streetcar, if it went down 17th Ave all the way to the Stampede. If...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Probably the best thing to do cost-benefit wise would be to build a bridge by 32 ST NW (nearby the gas station/cafe on Parkdale BV) to connecting the north and south banks of the Bow. Therefore access to Lawrey Gardens from Edworthy is possible during the winters, and provides a crossing where...

    General Construction Updates

    Think Education recently had an internal renovation within the past decade? So don't think the envelope will get any attention soon. But a building that badly needs to be renovated/expanded is the Kinesiology Block A building. It's stuck in the 60s, and doesn't function well for the current...

    Calgary | Block 23 - Central Park | 12m | 3s | Gibbs Gage

    Still not impressed that the 17th ave rebuild still allows for drive-thru from 17th ave. I'm not opposed to it having one period, but access should only have been from 16th.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Nah, that location in particular is 1509 15 AV SW I think. I believe the house that's boarded up in the street view is also gone, and included in the fencing IIRC.

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

    Is that why costs to even 64th seem to be pretty pricy than considering the ease of how it looks externally? It feels like the estimates to go that far, should be to get it to about 96th or North Pointe instead.

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

    It is kind of funny the argument to go with the SE first back around 2019 was that the ROW was already in place. If since the project was announced, the ROW for NC was acquired from then to now, the NCLRT would probably be ready to go, and it would rightfully be going up north first instead...

    Looking back now, would've been nice to have the Red Line go by both Foothills Hospital and Mac Hall on the main campus. Have swing west over by Market mall on it's way to Crowchild could've also opened the opportunity for a station inside University District. Hope that a gondola system does...

    Spoiler alert: It will be.

    Ah, that's what's throwing me off. Thanks.

    Calgary | Park Central | 134m | 39s | Hines | S.C.B.

    I thought this what they've opted for instead.

    Wait, it's not the 6 story build anymore?

    @CalgaryTiger I agree with you that being proactive in building a streetcar in an area that would be compatible with it in the long run is not bad idea. If we want to be encouraging more riders in the city, convenience and frequency is most important. But form also is important, and people...

    Sick. Completely transforms the heart of the campus.

    If we're going to build an initial streetcar line to spur development and ridership in a corridor due to it's coolness, I definitely think either of those routes would be awesome.

    Roads, Highways & Infrastructure

    The nonsense that was the 60km/h speed limit on Glenmore Trail between Sarcee/Stoney Trail and 37 Street to accommodate weaving traffic is being eliminated. Looks like their setting up to go back to the original design where SB Sarcee doesn't have access to 37 Street.

    Don't know if it's been noted already, but the lights do change colours. Saw them Wednesday night.
