Based on that article, it sounds like the Silly Six voted against based on all the recommendations being grouped together instead of individually. Normally it's not hard at all to vote on things individually...a councillor just has to ask for it (and then a quick vote on whether to do that or...

Can't see much when you're scrunched over and cursing the wind! If it follows the train line, the 25 km or so east of Seebe are going to really suck. Barely any trees at all and completely exposed to the wind...slightly uphill going east to west. I'm not sure the ~20km east of there to Cochrane...

Train out with your bike and ride back with a strong tailwind and elevation loss. Magnificent!

I guess this is what it looks like: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/hudson-s-bay-stripes-candian-tire-1.7536366

Kiosks to return to some Calgary Transit LRT stations Headline is probably more optimistic than realistic. I'd imagine newspapers and magazines were critical to these kiosks...do people even buy as much gum/etc as they used to? (I definitely don't...)

What's the deal with this oval road? Historical images shows it was built between 2020-21...I can't really figure why it's an oval like that?

12th Ave is really scawy and confusing...(for people who should hand in their licenses of course)

Inglewood/Ramsay don't really have a grocery (aside from $$$Bite$$$), so Vic Park could definitely make some sense

They preserved this old one as part of redevelopment in the NE corner...pretty sure it was a bakery dating back to 1929. https://maps.app.goo.gl/B45tFPC4jpnBxC716

I like it. The one concern I have is how much heavy lifting mature trees may be doing in these renderings...hopefully the trees they plant can have a pretty good head start on their growth? But I'm not sure how easy that is in this kind of environment?

Just Somerset makes sense to me, though if they were to add a second name I would have thought Sundance would have made more sense. What does the reference to Lacombe even mean at Fish Creek - Lacombe Station? McKnight-Westwinds also seems a little odd, though I'm not particularly familiar...

That location would have been ideal for some degree of tower. It would have been pretty hard to make any of the usual arguments against it like shading/traffic, and its so proximal to services and current/future transit

https://calgary.citynews.ca/2025/03/27/weekend-train-length-changed/ Back to three car trains on Saturdays...at least they are adapting quickly.

Kinda nuts how far some (most?) of the loads have to go...obviously not cheap, and the emission calculations must be a little eye-watering, too

People seem pretty passionate about that underpass...

Which is often a distinction without a difference. Most traffic is competing for the same objective It's easy to look at the CPKC tracks as a significant bottleneck in the traffic network, but I don't think that's necessarily the case. It doesn't really matter whether you're north or south of...

I was curious about relative traffic in the other underpasses. (important caveat: these are not from the same day or month, but pretty sure they are all between Tue-Thurs within the last 2 years or so) NB / SB 14th = 22700 / 24500 11th= 2300 / 6300 8th = 2800 / 2600 (I wondered if...

Probably the game plan all along...had they started with an 18 storey max the opposition would have been the same

Vehicle access is going away sooner than later. The question is whether it's worth an extra $50-70M to restore it for vehicles when that happens It's worth noting that 11th St is only 1200 meters long, from the Bow River to 17th Ave. It's not like there are a ton of trips starting and ending on...

I have two. But I'm just a lowly suburbanite who makes over half of my trips with them on cargo bike
