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

    Tesla's FSDv14 (I think that is the latest version) seems pretty much there now. Maybe not quite for edge cases such as yesterday, but for 99% of the time, I would say it is good. But, a technology like that raises a bigger question of how we plan transit. Would we need large buses running on...

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

    Very long term plans (as shown on the previous version of the City's regional transportation model) did show the C-train eventually swinging norht into Balzac. This is further enshrined in the Northeast Industrial ASP, showing the Blue Line running west along 128th Avenue before curving north...

    Calgary | Vibe | 51m | 13s | Slokker | Giannone Petricone

    On the plus side, having the building pulled back as is will mean a lot more sunlight can get to the riff portion, making it more inviting and hopefully active for the proposed retail.

    There is discussion of paving the Smith Dorrien trail, not sure the status of it though: https://www.rmoutlook.com/kananaskis-country/ministers-mandate-letter-calls-to-improve-and-upgrade-spray-lakes-road-in-kananaskis-11235880

    Memorial and 17th Avenue both would. Plus, the Province has plans for a couple of interchanges on the Trans Canada highway in this area, to also eventually help with the volume of traffic anticipated.

    Calgary | The Edgewater | 30.6m | 9s | Trico Homes | S2

    Trico recently has this parking lot go to CPC for rezoning. No DP yet, but maybe this Edgewater site is not a priority for them anymore? https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=354995 https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=354336
