I was at that presentation, they wanted to rip all out the rail lines in the whole city and turn them into bike lanes. Some other kids had some cool ideas for McLeod Tr. that I liked. I asked a question about how removing the lines would affect regional rail transit and if they could imagine...

After talking with a few of the municipalities there is definitely a push to create regional rail. Everybody is just waiting for the Bow Valley Mass Transit study to be released.

For sure in cities seperated crossings are more important. But part of the issue on Yankee Valley is everybody trying to get on to QE2 in the first place.

I think with grade crossing upgrades and proper lighting/barriers it isn't too big of an issue. Ideally they would all be seperated bjt this isn't a high speed line.

The 901 and 902 have to work around rush hour so they dont get caught in traffic. The latest bus you can catch is from the South Transit Terminal and leaves at 7:52. I would hardly say that either of them offer anything remotely close to a door to door service. If you were to catch the last...

The buses weren't bursting at the seam for the Green Line and they decided to skip a bus transitway. As far as I have first hand seen the ICE does well and is generally full when I see them. But have you looked at the routes and times for them? They suck. I understand the heirarchy of transit...

Write counsellors. Make your voice heard. Talk to Jaspertf with Alberta Regional Rail. Commuter rail has been planned for decades but hasn't really been taken seriously but if voices are heard and people demand it than it can't be ignored. I've talked to countless amounts of people about a rail...

Presented nice...but those off peak service times still bother me. Hell even 18 minute peak time is upsetting.

I'm all in for creating viable passenger rail for Alberta. With the help of JasperTF using the Alberta Regional Rail plan we're focussing on advocacy for rail passenger rail development im the province. www.railalberta.com We're only in our infancy and are trying to provide information and...

I don't really see how this would be any different than tunneling anywhere else. People brought up things about water tables with the river but humans have been tunneling underwater for centuries.

I lived in Vancouver when Canada Line was being built and the stations downtown were cut and cover while the line was tunneled. Or least the City Centre one was.

Isn't it just being put in a tunnel deep enough to not disrupt these things?

So I just noticed this and I'm not sure if it's been brought up here before but it looks like the city has changed the plans for WB bus only lanes over Glenmore. Also with the new bus route design I've heard that the SW BRT has dropped to busses every 25 minutes. Can anybody confirm this...

Banff service is continued this year starting May long until first week of September. Still the same 10 dollar fare only this year will have a pick up spot downtown. http://onitregionaltransit.ca/calgarybanff-service/

Good news for regional transit that I missed. One step closer to rail service. http://www.southland.ca/everyday-tourist-on-it-calgary-regional-partnerships-legacy/ http://www.southland.ca/on-it-calgary-regional-partnerships-legacy/
