It has definitely improved significantly...I often walk the Sarcee pathway at rush hour and I can't remember seeing it lined up at all since WRR opened. I'd imagine WB Bow maybe still backs up a bit at rush hour, and maybe the EB-NB movement sometimes (though I kinda doubt it). IMO it could...

Online feedback is open for Sarcee/Bow. https://engage.calgary.ca/SarceeBowStudy I only drive it on the fringe of rush hours, but it seems...totally fine now to me? I can't even remember the last time I had a multi-light wait there, so if you have an extra light cycle at the peak of rush hour...

Yup, SSV is still run too much by nepo-baby idiots. Speaking of Nepo-babies (from the link above): It sucks to be so cynical about a project that would be great (aside from the whole money thing). Oh well, maybe my great-grandkids can ride on the first train and then illegally scatter my...

Perhaps a route for equpiment/machinery?

A fairly notable development tangential to the rail project, though IMO it mostly speaks to the proponents inability to navigate a project development process. https://www.rmoutlook.com/banff/parks-canada-reinforces-gondola-from-banff-townsite-to-mount-norquay-wont-fly-8468243 I've selfishly...

Not sure if this is the exact location you mean but I think they are doing bridge rehab at 4th Street and the bridge will be closed for like 6 months, so perhaps it's prep for that?

There are lights at 4 St already...another light that is 85% green time really shouldn't be a problem. Right in right out would be even better, but it looks like it isn't currently possible to do a U-Turn at the 14 St lights; it's probably too tight to achieve that without eliminating the...

It's actually 2 months behind original schedule, which is not too so bad (as my toddler would say).

Anyone have any links to the underground idea referenced here? Hard to fathom any way that isn't totally preposterous

Editorial discussing transit/transpo in Banff: https://www.rmoutlook.com/opinion/editorial-banff-traffic-conundrum-a-never-ending-issue-for-everyone-7890600 These are great problems to have, but it's gotta be really difficult planning transit for such variable demand (summer peak months)

They are not narrow road lanes, either...maybe they should put all of those signs on the road instead

Wide sidewalks? https://maps.app.goo.gl/sqA2GZvAqUMfwK5F6 I was thinking about this a bit today and trying to come up with similar situations as our Centre Street. This is a random thought along those lines, but I've found the pedestrian experience on West Broadway in Vancouver - a 5-6 lane...

Another big thing would be MAX orange...a level crossing would really hurt it, while separation would remove the current challenge between orange and the NC busses

Such a long rambling post that somehow seems to be a perfectly concise synopsis of so many issues. It's a really great point about not overreacting to the perception of things like grade separation being of benefit to cars. It's such a weird thing here where the only way to mitigate horrific...

This area is fantastic. There is even a little kiosk serving coffee+pastries open most of the time. The existing washrooms are adequate, but maybe not operable in the winter? If that isn't the issue then I would say there are probably other places without current washrooms that could use this...
