I did some back of napkin math - the line should be able to drop from a +45 over the CP tracks to a +30 level by the 7th Ave station. I'd rather have the line at a lower level for cost and ease of access. You'd have a one story drop into the +15 to take you to your office/shopping. The +30 level...

A video I stumbled across from Calgary 1975. The start has some kick ass aerial video flying around downtown Calgary. See if the link from the AP archives works or not...

Up early on a Saturday, thought I'd take advantage and see if there was any good sunrise light on downtown; this is what I saw: Sunrise Reflection Calgary by ferreth, on Flickr

SE BRT update. I had a bit of extra time so rode up the hill to at least peek at the progress on 17th Ave SE. I was surprised, not even pavement yet on some of the bus lane areas - they want to start training November 1st for bus drivers, so they better hustle! BRT Bridge Pano: BRT Bridge...

Wednesday last week shots of the BRT Bridge over the irrigation canal. Progress, but they have a long way to got to be open for mid November. I'm thinking they may open it to bus traffic by then, but the pedestrian part will wait until spring? From the south: BRT Irrigation Canal Bridge...

A quick update for the Professional Building at Meadows Mile. They are now featuring it on the Meadows Mile Website. Turns out the site is two buildings ("coffee house" and professional building). Looks pretty nice from the updated renderings. They are saying Q2 2019 opening. The access road is...
