The PTN standard is just a high all-day frequency, centre street carries an obscene amount of buses as the 301 and 3 alone operate at 5 minute headways during peak hours

Where's this graphic from? It would be super interesting to see the "bus per day" on all road segments citywide. Calgary Transit really makes it difficult to get a citywide picture of frequencies and service quality differences between routes as a network. I'd take a guess Centre Street sees about 3 - 5x the bus traffic as the next busiest non-downtown corridor? It's a wildly different corridor than most others.

I would love to see a close to 1:1 copy of the Montgomery Bowness Road project. The area right in front of the station has potential, especially with the triangle lot that could have a cool flatiron style building. I hope when the time comes the city has a good vision of what to do with that area to make it nice to walk around.

Just wondering, but why was a tunnel chosen for the downtown corridor , and not an elevated track? The costs have ballooned because of it, and if they chose elevated track, then a lot more of the Green Line would have been able to built in phase 1.

The option was dismissed entirely after the owners of towers downtown raised concerns. There are difficulties of course with elevated, the primary being the height needed to cross over the CPR (14 meters over top of rail is what the crossing at Sunalta is)
