If I had to venture a guess for the near to mid term at Stampede it will be pretty boring: - Saddledome area will become parking since its closest to the new arena, and Midway during 10-day - Ag building will move to the other side of Nutrien Centre (ie. Nashville North). Maybe they will want...

Building new suites in the infield probably dispels any idea/interest in expanding the Grandstand into a football stadium.

I think a good compromise for 8 Ave would be to tunnel until 5th S, come to grade for a station at Century Gardens (or a block east of there so you avoid a level crossing of 8th St), and then go elevated for the turn north and to connect to the bridge over the Bow. Reduces it to 1200 meters of...

Booooooooring.

What's the most likely process for demoltion? Implosion followed by a few months of hauling debris away? What typically happens to this kinds of debris?

I could rant endlessly on this, but IMO we have a terribly limited approach for 'bike lanes' in the post-war suburbs. Main street projects are excellent and offer substantial upgrades to the 'last meters' for all active mobility users. But they are absolutely not an 'arterial' solution for...

An Alamo Drafthouse (probably not the exact American chain, but the name is perfect) along with the barcade would be sweet. I could also imagine that some 'theatre' rooms could work really well for certain conferences

They'd get even more if they ditched the track. They've also hinted that the Ag Building's days are numbered, though it will likely be replaced, but not necessarily on the same spot.

Looks like it dates back all the way to 2019 https://engage.calgary.ca/stephenavenue But it seems like maybe Phase 3 may not have really happened as usual? I feel like we would have discussed it a lot more on here if it was

They do want 24/7:

26th is awful and I will not ride it with my kids loaded.

Calgary to postpone Stephen Avenue construction while new timeline is developed Due credit for putting the brakes on...as a random Joe Blow I certainly don't have the impression that they have truly learned enough and implemented changes from the 17th and Marda Loop sagas. Or maybe they have...

The median looks pretty wide; around 18 meters most places I checked, though I'm sure there's a few spot where it narrows a bit. There's a bunch of places where eastbound lanes are higher than westbound so the median is on a bit of a grade, but nothing too crazy. Most of the overpass bridges...

I would think the CP tracks is by far the gentlest grade, but there are quite a few curves throughout - most curves look pretty gentle, but probably enough to limit speeds. I suspect the biggest issue is how frequently this ROW runs so close to water with significant grades on either...

It looks like the playground might be open?

I just hope all three use blue signs.

This should help spur the ~3 blocks of funeral parlours between here and the vibrant part of 17th to come alive

I think they would probably fence off from the Big 4 Stairs (note the hotel's loading door) to the corner of the new BMO Centre (or the fence would run along those trees on the NE side of the road and cut across to BMO further up).

https://www.calgary.ca/planning/transportation/road-classification.html There's really very little special about Memorial other than it has nice pathways beside it. 2.1km from where it starts as Memorial at Crowchild until the first opportunity to actually cross the street (an overpass and...

Not sure why anyone would take the 'under' on any target date at this point...
