The density may be underwhelming, but the proposal fits the context of the surrounding houses within the neighborhood, the design isn't horrible, and it's better than a surface parking lot for the next 20 years. I'll count this as a win.

There's nothing wrong about being a little bit of a NIMBY. When NIMBYs oppose everything, then it becomes a problem. NIMBYs in Inglewood stopped Freeway construction into downtown in the 1960s.

I would nice if the city could implement a MAX service along 16th Ave out to COP. There could be station at Trinity Hills and COP similar to this: The City could run the BRT down Bowness Road, Parkdale Blvd and Kensington road similar to this: It would take a lot of political will as the...

I also think the Sunnyside LRT station did wonders for the businesses along 10th Street. I found it funny when business owners along Centre street were complaining that the LRT would eliminate on-street parking. Yeah...you lose a few off-peak parking spots in front of your business, but you...

Forgive my ignorance... But if the utilities have already been relocated along 11th Ave. and 2nd Street why is the underground option so much money? Shouldn't it be cheaper to do a cut and cover subway? You'd think 6 billion dollars can go a long ways.

Those are all good points. But the LRV's have been ordered from CAF, so the system is going to use low-floor LRT technology.

In my opinion, the 14th Ave at-grade crossing and sharp turn is the only blemish on an otherwise perfect LRT line. The rest of the NW Red line is grade separated or has low traffic at-grade crossings.

I don't think a BRT transitway is the right system for the SE and NC corridor. 1. Operation costs are high for BRT as you have to run lots of buses frequently to achieve decent ridership (Paying operators is expensive for a transit system). This means you can't provide as much service as a rail...

Then we have a train from 4th street to Shepard. And then when more funding is available, the line can be extended 1.5km to 7th Ave. City building never stops. But we need to get the ball rolling on the project now.

The CAF Urbos 100's have been ordered and are arriving in 2027. Shovels need to go into the ground in 2025 and this thing needs to be built from at least Shepard to 4th Street.

An elevated train gives passengers a good view of the city. It's kind of silly to elevate a tram, but whatever...it is what it is. I don't think it's a big deal if a couple parking stalls on 10th Ave get chewed up every 20' for the elevated guideway columns. 10th Ave. isn't a shining beacon of...

Looks kind of neat!

45' above the ground! What's the point of using a low-floor train? 🤣

I'm pretty disappointed with the alignment AECOM brought forth. These are my thoughts on the proposed alignment: 1. There are six +15s on 2nd street which need to be demolished/reworked. 2. The transfer at 7th ave isn't great as the nearest westbound station on 7th ave is two blocks away. 3...

And obviously increased frequency and bus priority measures(bus lanes, signal priority, queue jump lanes, bus-only crossings) would help.

I think there's a lot of quick wins CT could do to improve the bus network. 1. Revamp the transit map This is tough to look at: This map isn't as tough to look at: 2. Improve wayfinding at bus stops: At minimum, every bus stop should have an easy to read map printed of the bus route...

In 1962 it looks like there was an industrial/commercial building constructed on the site: In 1984 a Waterpark was built: In 1995 a carwash was built to the south: By 2001 the Waterpark was decommissioned: By 2005 the warehouse was torn down: And a prime piece of land, right beside a...

Here...I'll take another kick at the can and see if we can figure it out. 1. Remove the 2km detour and add a 'station' at Flanders Ave. This will probably save 5mins travel time. Most of the high density development in Garrison Woods will be within a 10 minute walk of the new station. 2. Add...

I like the proposal! The only thing I would keep the same is the stations on 33ave. The intersection surprisingly doesn't delay buses that much as there are bus-only queue jump lanes with signal priority. Although, the MAX "station" on the west side of Crowchild is only a sign and a bench.
