It will be interesting to see how many cyclists from the NW decide to use this route into the Beltline instead of going...
The stop signs were recently funded by a local community group. Here's an article from back in June after it was debated at Council. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/council-endorses-pitch-to-bring-bilingual-stop-signs-to-mission
My main concern is the bike lane widths. BC's Active Transportation Design Guide calls for a "constrained limit" of 1.8m and an "absolute minimum width" of 1.5m for uni-directional protected lanes. Most of the proposed 2nd St. lanes are 1.25m width. They could've at least reduced the travel...
This came up at CPC yesterday. According to the Transportation rep the setback is for additional public realm space and not road widening. "Once the main street concept for Edmonton Trail is finalized, (the setback) is for implementing whatever the final vision for the main street is"

I have mixed feelings about this plan...
Yeah looks like other than some additional "pageantry lighting" at the major intersections (4th, 5th, 8th, 14th) and a few new benches, most of the above-ground work is replacing/repairing what was there before...
I don't think they've finished the concrete works at 4th and 17th yet (you can see the asphalt curb on both sides of 4th St.) They put temporary asphalt curbs and sidewalk in after completing the utility work, but they've been going back and doing the concrete curbs and sidewalks in the...
Looks like some drilling was taking place this afternoon on the NW corner of this block (11 Ave/Centre St.). New DP was approved March 28. Its possible the drilling is related to the planned Green Line station, though.
