Unless something changed it's a road and pedestrian tunnel, no truck traffic but other vehicles are permitted.

Ultimately it will close the current at-grade crossing at 69 Ave, which is where the safety benefits come into play. I believe they held some community sessions before the green line was paused a few years ago and as you can probably imagine, many of the residents who live near 78 aren't very...

They're actually just about done building a plant up in Balzac producing "low carbon fuel", so I don't think that piece is a huge stretch. The city remediated the Highfield landfill a couple of years ago, this was a similar facility (class III landfill). I think it's an interesting project with...

Not holding my breath on that one ever getting done 🤣

They posted the boards from the open house on their site as well. The only piece I find kind of amusing is the one where they say it's a "not for profit endeavour" when clearly there's some fairly valuable land they're sitting on if they clean it up. https://eccoyyc.com/

Having lived in a wood frame 4 storey before, I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemy. I think I can still hear my neighbors upstairs.

I'm a little back and forth on this one in my head. I really dislike the bridge over Prince's Island, but I understand how they've arrived there. I don't think Center St will be a soul crushing hellscape like 36 St NE with the low floor LRVs, but I suppose time will tell. There is also something...

Not something I can back with any sort of statistics, but a lot of people that I know (in general conversation) will consider taking a train but the second you talk about a bus they're hopping in their car. A dedicated transit way would probably fix a lot of that with a reliable schedule and...

I just learned this from a brief google, but there are apparently 3 types of landfill classifications in Alberta. This one is apparently a Class III (https://eccorecycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Ecco_AEP.pdf) so very limited decomposition.

Not sure where this would even fit but there's an open house coming up for landfill reclamation at the private Ecco site down near Quarry Park... https://eccoyyc.com/open-house

Basically, they put it out previously as a P3 and it failed so now they're going to tender it differently.

Some additional TOD being proposed in Riverbend as well https://www.calgary.ca/content/www/en/home/realestate/RiverbendTOD.html

Is cost the only consideration though? My experience in this area is really only travelling outside of North America, but my favorite transit systems all have businesses and washrooms integrated into the transit hubs. Until we start to look at more of this, we're admitting that we really only...

This plot has been sitting vacant for at least 30 years best I can tell, TOD if you count the green line / bus station directly north of 114. No documents on DMAP yet but will keep an eye on it!

Seems unlikely per https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/alberta-steers-away-from-p3-funding-for-deerfoot-improvements-1.5984532

Makes sense, actually connecting to places people want to go.

Carburn already has a 10kph limit through the park pathway itself, but nobody follows it as you can imagine.

https://www.calgary.ca/roads/safety/18-st-se-adaptive-bike-lane.html?redirect=/18stabl Kind of a weird one, being sold as a bike lane but it's really for traffic calming. Such a short distance in a community full of pathways that it doesn't really connect any missing links, unless I'm missing...

It's starting to feel a little more real now.
