Welcome Joeurban, and thanks for the links to those old maps. Love those maps from 1914 and 1926, makes me wish Calgary could have kept that grid layout.

Good news indeed, and to be picky this project is not west of Cochrane, it's pretty much right in the middle of town and is desperately needed. I also have to get a chuckle out of the NDP government committing to a lot of projects that won't start until after the next election, which in all likelihood will leave the next government in a bit of a bind for spending.

Yep, the section through town is 100% where it's needed most. Once you're leaving town west on 1A it's not very busy. I haven't kept track of all the money the NDP has been promising out, but I'm glad someone has promised money for this. It's been needed for a while now.

The City has funded two interchanges on Stoney Trail. According to Councillor Joe Magliocca, funding has been approved for the construction of the 14st NW interchange as well as the twinning of Shagganappi over Stoney. Wonder if the province has chipped in part of the funding for these two projects?

A lot of the time the city funding is provincial funding, just from a fund where the province doesn’t have an explicit veto over each project, like MSI or gas tax.

Does anybody have any information about the realignment of centre street north through Livingston?

Yep! Looks like it splits off in two one way to accommodate future green line.

Does this thing ever bring back memories to the rat hole tunnel we had out here in Airdrie!

Nice to see the Glenmore interchange is part of those upgrades.

Looking at suburban sprawl getting created is extremely depressing. I should stop clicking on this thread.
