correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Green Line is fully grade separated from downtown until Shepard road.

I think automating a metro systems allows for shorter headways. With human drivers there is a minimum safe headway.

I think there's definitely a place for Low-Floor LRT's in Calgary. Centre Street, 17th Ave and 16th Ave N would be ideal candidates for a low-floor system. But putting a low-floor LRT in a subway/tunnel, elevating it and running it beside a heavy freight ROW kind of negates the advantages of a...

High-Floor LRT is great if used in the right context. It's equivalent to a Dollar Store metro system.

I want to ride Edmonton's Valley Line LRT to see how their low-floor LRT handles.

I was in Kitchener for work about a month ago and since I'm a transit nerd, I rode their LRT system just for shits and giggles. It was kind of a neat system, but low-floor trains are weird. Bad: 1. The floor is uneven. There are weird slopes in the floor, but there weren't any steps. 2. The...

Huh...and their society doesn't have an opioid crisis. Interesting.

It's sad but true. No one is really serious about solving the homeless/opioid crisis...and this is why we can't have nice things. Glass panels on the Peace bridge? Nope Want to sit down at a bench in C-Square in East Village? No way. If you're a woman and want to check your phone at City Hall...

It is kind of a mixed use development. It's not a very good one in terms of walkability and connectivity. But there is a mix of residential and commercial within 800m of the future LRT station.

Nothing wrong with that. People have to live somewhere. Plus...it's TOD.

Unfortunately, $1800 for a brand new, one bedroom 500 square ft apartment is the going rate these days. There are better deals for older apartments.

The 144th Ave BRT functional planning has entered phase 2. There are a few different routes to choose from. https://engage.calgary.ca/144AveBRTfps

A lot of people don't vote because it doesn't really matter who wins. None of the federal political parties in Canada really represent my political beliefs. In fact, I have to squint to see the difference between the Conservative and Liberal party of Canada. Furthermore, politicians make a lot...

I respectfully disagree. The reason homelessness has increased is due to the following: 1. From 2015-2022 there was rapid population growth in Urban centers which created a housing shortage. 2. Starting in 2012, there was an influx of fentanyl into the country. Solutions: 1. Halt all...

That's what I'm trying to say. I wish there was public policy in place to incentivize the protection of heritage properties and incentivize the redevelopment of underutilized land within the inner city.

I find it weird that CT chose that particular MAX station to upgrade. I think the bus stop on 6th Ave and 3rd street is more deserving of an enclosed shelter and arrival screen. It'd a stop for the: 301 302 MAX Yellow #1 #3 In fact, it'd be nice to see more bus stations have MAX style shelters...

Is there an arrival times screen?

I think the station is south of 7th Ave. This area here:

Do you know how the ownership works? When someone buys a unit, is it a 99 year lease (similar to National Parks and Redwood Meadows)? Or is it a freehold?
