“Studies are underway to gauge private-sector interest and examine the use of icebreakers to extend the port's short shipping season.” The studies are likely to find that extending the season year round would be devastating to polar bears, and that given winds on the bay, would require far more...

The old library will be sold with it.

I wonder, it is pretty unconventional. An interchange where you split phases. Bottom, only the straight phases - people still have lights, but it just switches between the two phases. 5 metres above, a small intersection, only left turns. 1 lane in from each direction, 1 lane out to each...

HUGE drops. Pre Stoney (November 2022): Post Stoney (April 2024):

Japan does this not uncommonly, but typically it is due to evolutions of historical anachronisms, not proactive implementation of it as a solution. I think there are a few instances of tram trains and trams sharing urban segments in Germany as well.

I suspect the province's hope is that the recovery communities will break the cycle, and enable the DIC to live the mission where the 5% not diverted to housing no longer accumulates into a large persistently unhoused population.

The stations were already cut down from the original 120-130m spec.

There is also the trap that spending equals cost. Municipal transit recovers 0% of its capital cost (since most at least Calgary LRT trips involve a bus transfer), but high speed rail could recover a significant amount of its capital cost.

Not for recreation purposes, but somewhat close (east and south): Further north and west:

I think then want the first three done, before going on to the next round of 'green field'. Is there a good site around Nordegg? I would put that up as #4.

That is explicitly in a park though, no? Whereas the others are in rec areas.

That was studied maybe 15 years ago? I think the first step is to get the existing tie up to 1100, and figure out a financial model to pay for upgrades on both sides to make it work. Once the financial cooperation model exists, then paper projects can be assessed.

Today at a luncheon:

If the demand is reliably on one route, you don't need to sit in a pocket track. Just need to time the surge of runs right. Well, the last year of Gondek iirc they started to undo the 2017, 2018 cuts to service hours, the non-implementation of BRT like service on the BRT infrastructure, the...

Good to not lock ourselves into one ecosystem for next gen. We will still buy F-35s, a large number of them. I suspect we will buy many Grippens too. Everything we can use them for, we will. Like replacing the Snowbirds very expensively, and maybe setting up reserve squadrons to keep...

IIRC, when Calgary Next died, University Innovation Quarter was prioritized over any work on University Village. Also the city kept showing needing to acquire more university land for work on Crowchild, so it was important to set that in stone too.

I think the university would prefer whatever costs them the least amount of money on a life cycle basis. As soon as McMahon gets too expensive, the university wants to be in a position where it can walk away, and if partners want to keep it going, partners can pay.

Buying being cheaper than renting on a monthly basis... welcome back to 2014!

They never got close to capacity in their expansion, even with many international student. The expansion was overbuilt to their needs.

Was it a city parkade, or owned by the police association? I thought the later, but can't say either way with anything like certainty. Edit: from 2012 ish to 2022 ish it had Calgary Parking Authority Branding after the Courthouses moved west and the Police HQ moved to the NE. Land hasn't...
