Kinda nuts how far some (most?) of the loads have to go...obviously not cheap, and the emission calculations must be a little eye-watering, too

People seem pretty passionate about that underpass...

Which is often a distinction without a difference. Most traffic is competing for the same objective It's easy to look at the CPKC tracks as a significant bottleneck in the traffic network, but I don't think that's necessarily the case. It doesn't really matter whether you're north or south of...

I was curious about relative traffic in the other underpasses. (important caveat: these are not from the same day or month, but pretty sure they are all between Tue-Thurs within the last 2 years or so) NB / SB 14th = 22700 / 24500 11th= 2300 / 6300 8th = 2800 / 2600 (I wondered if...

Probably the game plan all along...had they started with an 18 storey max the opposition would have been the same

Vehicle access is going away sooner than later. The question is whether it's worth an extra $50-70M to restore it for vehicles when that happens It's worth noting that 11th St is only 1200 meters long, from the Bow River to 17th Ave. It's not like there are a ton of trips starting and ending on...

I have two. But I'm just a lowly suburbanite who makes over half of my trips with them on cargo bike

It's definitely going to have to close for a significant period during construction, so why can't we trial say 6 months of active-only crossing before making a final decision? Ideally getting some IRL use-case data for the status quo first, and then we can evaluate how things change. (I suspect...

I don't think they have updated figures internally, because they killed the municipal census in 2020, so federal 2021 is the best they have.

The orange box there just looks small, but nothing that size would make sense there so it's probably just a placeholder. Selfishly, it'll be very interesting to see what they do for pathway connections. It looks like there should be one running from the Weaslehead parking lot to near the gas...

Not sure if this was already posted here, but Breathe Outdoors (Campers Village) will be winding down. All Atmosphere stores are also closing to be integrated into Sport Chek locations. Sucks to lose Breathe (though I'm not sure when I last went in person), but relatively recent adds of...

I think they may want to switch to bus only lanes at some point, so they don't want to do permanent bump-outs. And deciding the long term plans for Crowchild before doing anything permanent.

Maybe it's HWY 8, where I believe they are still working on the stretch over the river (but it's effectively part of the WRR project)

Was that the Walmart?

Is 50th going across the river? It looks like it would be about the same place as the Green Line bridge...

New bus barns location: https://calgaryherald.com/news/citys-new-bus-barns-spell-the-end-for-popular-motocross-track Personally I don't give a crap about motocross, but it's disappointing to lose a unique amenity.

99 year lease. But also lower property taxes. Will the city do garbage collection, and regular access to Enmax/etc? What about police/fire?

I kinda hate most things about Canadian Tire...but it's also kinda my favourite store to visit (and I basically hate doing shopping in person). I feel like there could be some kind of fit under their umbrella with Sport Chek, Marks, etc. Would be nice for some of the Canadian identity things...

No curb ramp at the little known corner of 7th Ave and 1st St SW. And a train had to wait for at least 30 seconds at these lights for no apparent reason at 11am on a Saturday. I'm a little surprised, but not shocked that these lowest of hanging fruit have not been fixed yet.

I don't know if its enough of a bottleneck in the building process, but it could probably save a decent chunk of time and money if enough prefab elements can become more ubiquitous...and perhaps they could integrate even more items like electrical/plumbing into each prefab piece? Or ability to...
