I think route ahead has that branch noted as future (i.e never) hsr or commuter rail south Edit: found this with a quick search in my photos. From a draft ARP. I'll peek at route ahead tomorrow

For the last month or so there's been a fair amount of activity on the hill (old dump site) between Highfield and Blackfoot. They started by cutting trees in August and now they are grading the hill. I'm thinking there is movement on the proposed 25th Ave connector overpass that was detailed...

Calm down, your fragility is showing.

With a pathway connection you could walk or bike to Ikea or Walmart. 😂 That hill behind has some really nice native ecology on it too. Built-In "park" space and natural area, well-connected by car and could be decently connected by bike with some work. The edge of Acadia that interfaces with...

These ground oriented units are popular, can't blame people for liking them and they bridge a gap between detached and denser mf. For ground oriented units like these bike parking could be better designed to be spread out per unit, ground oriented and accessible from each unit. Could make them...

Unsurprisingly a dumpster fire with terrible messaging. Devon Dreeshen is the MAGA guy who was caught drinking in the office right? Definitely the person I want calling the shots on a transit megaproject. But hey thank goodness it's open up the conversation so that we can beat around the bush...

They've had a physical model of this expansion set up in the interior of MNP on the north side for a little while now, been wondering when funding would be fully secured. Great news overall. Loss of public pools is too bad though. The Inglewood pool was convenient but very bare bones.

Wow, this whistle works great

Sure, your enthusiasm is noted and your post history speaks for itself. Austerity for the sake of it in a province with a surplus just doesn't scream "enthusiastic" about transit to me, and throwing out a good plan for a haphazard one It's not a win for transit, especially the context of this...

UCP shills and apologists out in full force trying to turn a nuanced and complex inner city route into a completely different project. Commuter rail is great, The province should build a commuter rail line up nose Creek valley. It could have two or three stops in the city and then continue to...

Yes, but with an opportunity for future build out. Every new iteration of this has cut out the beltline more and more from this line. This latest version of " too many cooks in the kitchen" will nail that coffin shut. And I suppose this is classic Calgary; save money building something...

Welp, cuts the beltline out of the line pretty much completely. Designed by people imagining downtown from the 1990s with zero understanding that the beltline is more actively used today than the core is.

It's insane to me how unironically somebody will argue that there's no point in adding a bike lane if there's one available a few blocks away, but in the same breath justify car access by default on every single right-of-way. How about we put a bike route on every single street in the core and...

I've always been a fan of the BRT option initially. What is by far the most important option is selecting a right-of-way that is appropriately grade separated everywhere. Second to that is appropriate integration into the core, vis a vis pedestrian realm. Everything else is secondary. We had...

Name the bike lane on 12th after him

Hyperbole, but I can see your perspective.

The error was the assumption that the province under the UCP could ever be a good faith partner. Whoops.

A 100% increase in cost? I dunno..maybe as long as you momentarily forget that an interchange is useless without everybody buying a vehicle to drive on it, is completely useless if there aren't already roads built to connect it to , has zero requirement to integrate with the streetscape or...

Wow, that render does a great job capturing the character of the neighborhood. Somehow they've made the sidewalk even narrower and less accessible than what is already there. My favorite part is where dead ends in a tree planter with no way for pedestrians to get around. Usually developers...

As was the intent by the UCP
