I think there's also the piece of making transit SAVE people time to encourage use. There are countless vehicle/train accidents a year on 7th ave and delays due to vehicle interactions/blocked intersections/etc.

I would argue that the SE is one of the most underserved areas of the city for transit so I'm not sure how that's not the most immediate need. Ridership is low in these areas because there's no good alternative to driving today, it's a really difficult thing to quantify and articulate but in the...

Seems like they might be starting on deep utilities for these parcels, heavy equipment kicking around today.

Blackfoot is currently undergoing a rezoning application for MC-2 an anticipated 581 multi-residential units (M-C2) 0.6 hectares public open space (S-SPR) 13.6 hectares of natural landforms, vegetation, and wetlands (S-UN)

Apparently that's not entirely safe either. https://globalnews.ca/news/10485828/alberta-government-mayor-green-line-funding-letter/

Not really any info on the city website, but the timeline does seem to lineup with the 4th avenue flyover rehabilitation project. Maybe construction trailers for that work? https://www.calgaryparking.com/find-parking/lots/lot-75.html#lots

Stations are a lot more peanuts when you start talking low floor LRV, especially one like Douglas Glen where the parking lots already all built out for park and ride. You'd just be cannibalizing ridership at that point.

Another TOD proposal across from the future Douglas Glen Green Line station. Not the densest, but considering it's been vacant for decades I guess take what you can get. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2024-00045 3 x 6 storey (459 units total)

You nailed it, that's what they said during the presentation. The entire development is built to make use of it for the economics of the site, including the 13 story towers that will build a connected underground walkway to utilize it.

Most of it is already even landscaped, has been for years. This is on top of a fourth 13 story tower at Deville by the Coop in Quarry park, more 13 story towers north of Les Jardins and some mid/low rise product there as well. The city also has some TOD rezoning further north on 24st by the...

To be fair, some communities along the Green Line were built in the 80s/90s and the builders were advertising a future train station too. 🤣

Remington is looking at converting the Quarry Park Stonehenge into a residential project.

Distant photo of the Ivor Strong bridge work going on.

There's some coring going on near the Lafarge exit from Anderson / Bow Bottom (near the ivor strong bridge). Not sure if it's related to this project but wouldn't be shocked. Edit: Found it on the website, guess it's related! https://www.deerfootimprovements.ca/permanent-ramp-closure/

Not sure where this fits but I noticed the old YWCA downtown is getting demolished finally.. Does anyone know if that's still Great Gulf that owns that site?
