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.

Interesting...I would have never guessed there were so many MRU students living in Woodbine, Cedarbrae and Oakridge. I still think a transit line should strive to be direct, fast and frequent. My friend that lives close to Southland says it's faster to drive to Southland C-train station and...

I think there-in lies the problem with the MY. It's trying to do too many things. 1. Provide a quick and direct trip to downtown for residents of the SW. 2. Provide service to MRU. Pick one.

It's impressive how fast the MY can rip down the shoulders of the freeway. I felt like a rockstar when all the cars were backed up on Crowchild and the bus sailed past them :cool:

I took the MAX yellow from the SW to downtown during the morning commute for the first time on Wednesday. I was pretty impressed with the service. The bus-only underpass at 90th Ave. is pretty neat and the bus moves very quickly along Crowchild trail. There are a couple things I'd change to...

Is the Series 10 a different model than the S200? Or just a variation of it?

I think it's great! A family with 1-2 kids is more likely to move to Townhouse than an apartment. 99% of apartments have the same 1 and 2 bedroom floor plates.

Looks like the city is starting the Shaganappi Trial transit study: https://engage.calgary.ca/shaganappi_study

I like the podium and form of the building.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to each their own. I prefer walk up mid-rises and low-rises over soulless high-rises any day of the week 😛

Unfortunately you're public transit experience is not unique. Public transit should be fast and safe for all people of a society. The issues you faced have less to do with transit service and more to do with a homelessness crisis caused by high housing costs due to our elite class importing...

I like that it's only 10 storeys tall. After seeing how 4th street lofts turned out...I'm starting to get tired of tall residential developments that don't fit the context of the street.

Planting trees is easy! Gotta find a way to keep them alive during the dry spells in summer.
