The Urbos mockup was loaded onto a flatbed two days ago at Anderson Garage and is presumably now over by the Shepard site for the groundbreaking:

Based on what the presenters were saying it seems like it may be more difficult than expected to twin the CPKC line, and even if it were twinned there would only be one track for passenger trains.

Highway median might be what they're looking at, I'm imagining Brightline West

Green Line will use CBTC and have a design headway of 3 minutes, Red and Blue have been doing fine with 4-5 minutes for 44 years on an interlined downtown tram so I don't think it's the end of the world at all

I think this is the latest one we've seen:

69 Avenue will be closed this summer once they finish the 78 Ave tunnel so that's already one less crossing

They did do some in 2020/2021: https://engage.calgary.ca/greenline/brtstudy There's also another report floating around but I need to dig around for it

A network of bus lanes downtown would do absolute wonders for OTP... I really hope they at least get it going with the Centre Street MAX upgrades in the future. The concept designs for those even involve having two bus lanes on some of the avenues to allow buses to pass each other

I wish they just built this from the start... now when they decide to pull the trigger later we'll have to endure years of construction and backups all over again

I'll also say that the lower platform height allows for not only a smaller ramp, but things like sidewalks/bus loops connecting directly to the platform. So for one of the platforms there's no need to walk to the end, which also improves passenger distribution since more people will be standing...

The Green Line vehicles (and afaik all other low floor LRVs in Canada) are 2.65m wide, which is the same as our current high floor fleet. Every door except the cab end ones will lead into an open "floater" segment which you can see in @trtcttc post, but unlike all other Canadian vehicles ours...

Two storey penthouse thingy

Britannia Place, Place 906, and Transalta T1 come to mind

Hanover and a few others are outside of the incentive program

This presentation is a good watch on the history of LRT delivery in Calgary:
