    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Every piece of research shows that bike lanes improve a road's throughput while reducing incidents of death and injury. Unfortunately, Golf Cart McLean and Trump Staffer Dreeshen don't read anything longer than a happy hour menu.

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    It's fucked up that a one-time staffer for the fascist president gets to meddle in local issues like this.

    Office Space Conversion

    I wish councillors like Dan Mclean were as concerned about the housing crisis as they are about having to look at poor people from their pickup truck. If homelessness and drug abuse increase, they wouldn't care. They just don't want to see it.

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    "Best"? How so? How is downloading an app an easier user experience than simply tapping your credit card? Have you considered the experience of tourists visiting Calgary? I assure you, the last thing they want to worry about after getting off a long flight is downloading an app to make use of...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    This isn't happening at any scale that is significant. It's not a useful reason to choose an inferior system Toronto and Vancouver both have pay by credit cards and there isn't massive fraud occurring. And that's in a system where abuse would be more rewarded because of larger throughput. It...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    We don't need to reinvent the wheel here. Vancouver and Toronto, and countless other cities globally have it figured out. Their systems accept dedicated reloadable cards, Credit/Debit Cards and Apple/Android Pay. It's undeniably the most user friendly experience. There's no ambiguity as to...

    This was a tad optimistic. 1 Building down, 2 to go.

    I'd argue that conversation concerning a massive infrastructure project very close to the development site is related. Or would you prefer to see a dozen posts critiquing their choice in spandrel?

    11th Street Underpass | ?m | ?s | City of Calgary

    Induced demand is always relevant. The easier you make some utility, the more likely people are to use it. It's a universally observed trend across all public services, be it roads, healthcare, public transit, electricity, etc. etc. etc. You assume that by making the marginal road more...

    11th Street Underpass | ?m | ?s | City of Calgary

    I've always found these sorts of throughput totals overrated when it comes to future planning decisions. People drive in areas that are designed to handle more traffic. That doesn't mean we're bound to always use that space for vehicular traffic. Supply drives demand.

    Demolition has begun. Guys on site expect to be done by end of week.

    11th Street Underpass | ?m | ?s | City of Calgary

    Weird thing to say to someone who is actively advocating for closing down the road.

    Specifically which street would you support closing down to cars that wouldn't face the exact same criticism?

    I wish Calgarians were as passionate about pedestrian safety as they were about vehicular access. I'll gladly take making downtown more frustrating to drive in if it means fewer cars are speeding through the city and hitting people.

    11th Street Underpass | ?m | ?s | City of Calgary

    Because we've created an engagement process that provides every possible stakeholder the authority to critique, appeal, and sue if their precise demands aren't met. Especially with anything Urban in nature, when something is proposed, there will always be an army of Suburbanites who will pick...
