They just had a news piece on CBC radio about it. I'm summarizing but this is pretty much what the city spokesperson said "We didn't have time to do a proper engagement on a permanent installation so even though the avenue is part of our plan to have a bike lane we're going to remove it in...

For those in the know, any theories on why raised crosswalks are so rare in Calgary? They just seem to make so much sense to all users, except for the perceived inconvenience of cars having to slow down to cross them

Anecdotally I've felt the bike lanes downtown have been as busy as I've seen them so I tried to use the city's counters to validate. Disappointedly these "critically important" things that were needed to get the lanes built have very interrupted data. I was able to find one counter that seems to...

I distinctly remember the discussion here when the utility boxes highlighted in #6 were installed and all the problems associated with them. I believe CBB was involved in the original conversation. Oh the irony of it all

Pile driver on site this morning

From the 'General Discussions' thread. There is a separated asphalt bike lane through this section but there are also two paver / walking lanes here as well. One that directly abuts to the bike lane (similar to the path east of Center St) and then one on the south side of the flood barrier. I...

Warms my heart to see lots of bikers today on the cycle tracks today - more than I can remember seeing for a while even in summer. Going north on 5th st this morning there were 3 to 4 on-coming bikes at each set of lights. It's particularly satisfying when the northbound lanes of traffic are in...

For perspective, 11 years ago the Oilers franchise value increased 78% after just announcing their new arena deal. I'm sure Katz shared that ROI with the tax payers....just like Murray would https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/edmonton-oilers-now-valued-at-400-million-forbes-reports

I'm starting to give up hope that anyone designing infrastructure in this city does anything other than drive a car, let alone actually spend some time observing these areas before hand to truly understand the pinch points. That ramp was awful before for 2 reasons, 1 was the impossible switch...

The map shows the proposed track extending to 2nd Ave and then connecting to the new Eau Claire plaza, which is great. However, if the city pulls out the 3rd ave cycletrack that is a big loss to our limit dedicated cycling infrastructure. It's incredibly frustrating that the city feels taking...

Murray stopped spending any money on updating the Dome long ago to drive home the need for a new rink. Our running joke at games is the terrible light show we have, last year in playoffs they added those white lights along the boards we figured he got them at Canadian Tire and probably returned...

Looking at that one I saw this empty parcel has a new dP as well. Interesting that the main floor townhomes have their own individual parking garages accessed from an internal courtyard driveway thing https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2023-01945

What a disappointing and frustrating season. 3rd team in NHL history to lose 30 one goal games in a season and unless Huberdeau gets 4 points in the last game he's going to hold the record for largest season over season point drop-off. He's currently at -60 with the old record being -57 by Bill...

Flames "tragic number" is now 3, any combination of Jets wins or Flames loses adding to 3 and we're out. I also had never heard this called the tragic number before this morning

We need to string together a lot of wins, considering we haven't won 3 in a row since December 7 I'm not optimistic. Hopeful, always

Site prep started today removing remaining concrete slab. Looks promising, I'll try to grab a picture as I walk by here daily.

I know PCL was founded in SE Saskatchewan and growing up in Regina they always seemed like a local company for that reason. For me I always connect the colours to the Saskatchewan flag

Thought this article had some good points about what Canada needs to take away from the tournament https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/worldcup/world-cup-canada-chris-jones-dec3-1.6673487

I'm not speaking to the speed limit but the speeds drivers actually go. With proper road design like this you drive the a speed that feels safe and appropriate - I don't even remember what the speed limit was but with the narrower lanes, parked cars and curb extensions I didn't want to be going...

So I drove 24th yesterday in my car and I think something that is overlooked with that project is the impact narrowing the road has had on vehicle speed. So not only have we added bike infrastructure we also have effectively dropped the average speed to ~40 km/h improving the experience for all...
