The LF vs HF argument could go on forever, but I think the craziest part to me is a new train line going into service in the 2030s with drivers with the degree of automation we can achieve these days.

Looks like there's even a Pathway, but no connection to the Canal pathway that's just a few feet away... They should have bought a few more feet of land!

I think they're complicated, because they move both airport workers and travellers... Many airport workers work crazy hours and we rarely run transit at these hours in this city. Then you have the transit situation in the city at large, which has to be good enough to support connections without...

It's still a craphole, lol. The convenience store near the train station blasts some weird noise that's like nails on a chalkboard to keep loitering people away. Total hellscape.

Sort of unrelated question but it's across the street and caught my interest... What on earth is this red circled area for?

I know this drives a much higher cost, but some of the worst sleeps of my life were in a wood frame condo. I'll applaud this development on this alone, haha.

The landfill is currently fighting the city on some items as well (SDAB appeal on Oct 2nd)

It's really more like 5 years, the work packages released this year are all fairly tiny.

New-ish 6 story future TOD proposal near the future South Hill (Riverbend) station https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-02706

There's a couple of interesting tidbits in the agenda, as expected not too much kicking off in 2025.

I do think we'll see better integration of these stations with low floor, but I also think stations are going to be hit hard with value engineering on a project that's ballooned in costs with the political scope change and uncertainty. Curious how it'll all play out in the end.
