The difference is that the 5th street underpass was built in the 1950's with an upgrade that was completed in 2022. The 11th street crossing is an existing surface crossing.

I don't think eliminating one CPR crossing for cars is going to be the end of the world. In fact, 11th street doesn't even register on traffic volume maps. I think having a pedestrian underpass a park might be an attraction within the downtown/beltline area. Something similar to the Peace...

Oh no! The incredibly beautiful and walkable 10th Avenue will be completely ruined for those poor businesses. The view of the 1960's concrete parkade might be obstructed. Plus...you could have 20,000 - 40,000 C-train passengers per day having easy access to businesses that could drive away the...

I generally agree. The destruction of the Pre-WW1 homes and the 1940's apartment building would be more palatable to me if there wasn't already a large inventory of vacant lots or underutilized sites within the inner city. To me it's sad to see the destruction of historic buildings when 400m...

That's too bad. Those apartments and homes are what gives the neighborhood it's character. Heritage homes are what gives the neighborhood it's edge over new areas like Seton or U/D.

True. But that was route was calculated at 11am on a Tuesday. I'm sure during rush hour it's longer ;)

Gondolas are neat. But I think they work better as a single point connector only. Moving people to one destination to another. For example: Moving people from the top of a Hill -----> a Metro station When there are multiple stops at Foothills Hospital and UofC and Brentwood station I think...

Those are good points. Unfortunately, a new bridge will be very costly. The problem with using Bow Trail/Crowchild/Memorial is that it is a long and slow detour. A successful transit route should be: 1.Direct 2. Fast 3. Frequent

With all the new BRT improvements going on, I thought that I'd do a crayoning exercise. Instead of a Gondola, I'd like to see the MAX Teal extended North to Foothills Hospital, UofC and Brentwood station. A new bridge would have to be built over the Bow River. Black circles are stations...

It would be nice if this LRT extension were elevated down the median of 85th street. I hate excessive at-grade crossings.36th street in the NE is a nightmare.

What a shame... It's less than 800m walk to Heritage Station:

It should be a fairly cheap LRT extension. 1. There are zero elevated, trenched or underground portions of the line. 2. There are zero at grade crossings or overpasses needed. (194th is already built and the 210th Ave overpass will be built regardless) The maintenance facility will be...

They all look the same to me. Spandrel, Glass, Balconies and a neutral colour palette. As long as it has good pedestrian interaction at the ground level, then it's a win. Looks like there used to be two houses on this property. One of them looks like it was a mansion or something. 1982:

The City should look into building an LRT line that ties West District to Blue line. The new line would be slightly less than 6km in length. Ideally the LRT line would be elevated along the length of Bow Trail.

The City of Calgary made a new Engage page for 5 transit projects: 1. 144Ave BRT 2. Shaganappi Trail 3. Red Line South Extension 4. MAX Purple Extension 5. 52nd Street East BRT https://engage.calgary.ca/calgarys-transit-projects

We can keep one northbound lane open. Or remove parking and have two narrow lanes.

There's no reason the LRT line can't run at-grade north of 4th ave with a surface station at Eau Claire and then go elevated and then over the river. The city could even close the entirety of 2nd street (North of 4th Ave.) to cars, including this useless Cul-De-Sac: Turn it into a plaza or...

I have a hard time fathoming 2 billions dollars. In my opinion, the only section that requires tunneling is from the CP tracks to 4th Ave. That's a 700m tunnel.

Forgive my ignorance...I'm not well versed in the history of this project. But what was the city and the province doing from 2015-2019? There was an NDP majority in office, Nenshi was mayor and all three levels of government had committed to funding in 2015. Was four years not long enough to...

From the pictures, it looks like the 301 BRT route is remaining. A "MAX service" will not be implemented. In my opinion, it's kind of a branding fail on CT's behalf. The new stations like nice though!
