reducing the costs of certain types of stations. Whether 10 stations of savings is entirely negated by requiring a single larger underground station box, let alone 3 or 4, is what mattered for the purposes of technology choice for previous versions of the Greenline. If high floor LRT is the...

In the competition to replace the Toronto streetcars, bids were offered more points for a 100% low floor design. The aesthetic preferences of councillors who were around between 2010 and 2015. Which to be fair, if there weren't advocates then this project would never have been jumped started...

It is slower than the bus it replaced iirc. It’s a weird project, driven by politics more than anything.

Probably not, unless the CPR mainline is being twinned as part of an export capacity project (it should!) When this gets consolidated into the regional rail thread, I think its good to remind everyone that a really good rail map exists. You can toggle on level crossings and mile posts, zoom in...

On the small churches they guessed really wrong. Each ended up closer to $10 million than the less than $1 million each predicted. Likely in attempting to value the land they used market value, the market value for them as residential likely, rather than the expropriation standard, heads of...

Yeah. I remember hearing but can’t remember where that 40% of emergency capacity was now being absorbed by the opioid crisis/adjacent patients. I think a lot of problems that we have, we try to dream up complicated causes and similarly complicated solutions. For Canada, rolling back rents and...

Well, it would stay that way for awhile. It would be up to Canada how they would deal with that many Canadian citizens not living in Canada anymore.

This used to be true but isn’t anymore, as different agencies are better at sharing statistics than they used to be. Refugee claimants will likely pay population growth into the positive despite increased departures.

Site plan like that, almost like we're seeing a localized Texas doughnut.

Rumour is there was to be a procurement package supported by the feds for the provinces fleet in the fall, but it coincidentally cost the same amount at the 'border' plan announced to placate the trump administration. Then it couldn't come as trudeau resigned, and now the election. I suspect it...

No. The demographics of the student body have changed dramatically since the family residences were first built. 50 years ago it was typical for grad students to be married and have kids or soon to have kids. It is the vanishingly small exception today, especially for a family that doesn't have...

"while the construction of Fireworks would be years off" It is the shaking the cup level design. Going into the 2027-2037 funding cycle. Class C is what I've seen used.

Plusvarious locations on the Stoney reserve, should they wish to participate.

TBH, a new public market/food hall that can support a full on lunch break of 25% of attendees at one of the huge conferences would be my 'next part of the puzzle'. Reading Terminal Market being the best in class example. When airport rail/Banff rail breaks ground, I expect the go ahead will be...

The tourism package if the train and trail, and more hotels in Banff are finished is pretty compelling. Add in the convention centre, could evolve into one of the premier sites worldwide. It is just too bad couldn't highlight this year with the G7. Alas.

It looks like it on a map, but it just isn't. 5 km to 88th, 6.5 km to Saddle Towne. Almost as long as the West LRT. As long as Tuscany to Dalhousie Station.

Yeah. I’ve read that there are decidedly middle class folks who’ve ridden the condo presale game for 15 years now, and are stuck trying to close on 5 units that they’re all underwater on. All their earnings from previous presale went directly back into new presales and now they will loose...

They didn’t make money in the 90s. They’ll hopefully be a good space for a tiny business to go in. Worth it to do an experiment 30 years on. Hopefully the city is eyes open on the lack of profit potential here.
