An Alamo Drafthouse (probably not the exact American chain, but the name is perfect) along with the barcade would be sweet. I could also imagine that some 'theatre' rooms could work really well for certain conferences

They'd get even more if they ditched the track. They've also hinted that the Ag Building's days are numbered, though it will likely be replaced, but not necessarily on the same spot.

Looks like it dates back all the way to 2019 https://engage.calgary.ca/stephenavenue But it seems like maybe Phase 3 may not have really happened as usual? I feel like we would have discussed it a lot more on here if it was

They do want 24/7:

26th is awful and I will not ride it with my kids loaded.

Calgary to postpone Stephen Avenue construction while new timeline is developed Due credit for putting the brakes on...as a random Joe Blow I certainly don't have the impression that they have truly learned enough and implemented changes from the 17th and Marda Loop sagas. Or maybe they have...

The median looks pretty wide; around 18 meters most places I checked, though I'm sure there's a few spot where it narrows a bit. There's a bunch of places where eastbound lanes are higher than westbound so the median is on a bit of a grade, but nothing too crazy. Most of the overpass bridges...

I would think the CP tracks is by far the gentlest grade, but there are quite a few curves throughout - most curves look pretty gentle, but probably enough to limit speeds. I suspect the biggest issue is how frequently this ROW runs so close to water with significant grades on either...

It looks like the playground might be open?

I just hope all three use blue signs.

This should help spur the ~3 blocks of funeral parlours between here and the vibrant part of 17th to come alive

I think they would probably fence off from the Big 4 Stairs (note the hotel's loading door) to the corner of the new BMO Centre (or the fence would run along those trees on the NE side of the road and cut across to BMO further up).

https://www.calgary.ca/planning/transportation/road-classification.html There's really very little special about Memorial other than it has nice pathways beside it. 2.1km from where it starts as Memorial at Crowchild until the first opportunity to actually cross the street (an overpass and...

Not sure why anyone would take the 'under' on any target date at this point...

I suppose the one thing with Cochrane is that you'd want higher frequency and connectivity than you'd get from the Banff line, so a red line extension makes more sense anyways? I imagine you would create a movement for it to turn due west at the 12 mile coulee eventual interchange and then run...

It's hard to imagine how HSR works for Banff? How long could you really get up to speed for? That slide indicates it might cut out communities...like Cochrane? Canmore? It almost certainly has to go through the reserve at some point...I'd think having a stop there would be important to the...

At the very least we could at least implement it on new builds: But also use it as further impetus for traffic calming projects. They might become a lot more popular if they were 'local flood mitigation' projects that just happened to bump out the curbs in places...you know...to hold more water...

Whenever I want to see a full transit system map for whatever reason, I always go to the official page and download to see if they've finally updated it. As of a few weeks/months ago it was still from 2023, but it's finally been updated...

Nobody is arguing that fast headways are impossible with human drivers...they just aren't realistic. In the real world, automation increases frequency compared to what we'd otherwise do. Which leads to higher ridership, which has many downstream benefits (more fare revenue, decreased traffic and...

DT definitely could be. My point is that if they go to the expense for a complete crossing of CPKC+8Ave+7 Ave then they are not breaking up the north leg to be automated. And IMO there is 0% chance they switch the SE to automated at this point. So the only remaining hope for north automation is...
