Outside of maybe ii. (depending on what it means), these conditions seem pretty reasonable.

Can’t find the thread for this project. There is a drill at the site in Mardaloop 33ave SW & 19st

This one is 1900 Marda Loop. Was on hold pending an appeal and approved on Jan 15.

With all this development in Marda Loop, eventually this area would become a good candidate for an LRT line. Maybe an additional line from downtown going through Bankview, Marda Loop and MRU?

I would think maybe a BRT route.

Unfortunately the rail transit into MRU (a streetcar) looks like it will be coming down 37 St from Westbrook. I'm not aware of anything more for Marda Loop other than beefing up the existing Max Yellow BRT.

Although I suppose it is possible the streetcar could branch off after MRU and head somewhere like Marda Loop.

I’ve never heard any talks of street cars in Modern day Calgary? Any info on this?

There were also a number of news articles about this from 2016, when it was first being explored.

Marda Loops going to have to wait for a subway (not sandwich)

You could continue the MRU streetcar through Currie Barracks (dense development in progress!), Flanders Ave, and then north along Garrison Blvd. I think a route that avoids narrow streets, high traffic streets, and steep hills, is possible until you get near 14th & 17th.

According to my crayon and bar napkin, the math works out.

I'd say the flanders ave interchange configuration makes this a no go.

I'd say the flanders ave interchange configuration makes this a no go.

Europeans run street cars through traffic circles sometimes. But probably not with a 90 degree turn in a small circle.

I'd guess the city would have to tunnel under the interchange.

Or bury Crowchild underground

Hey, not a bad route you built for a tram. My minor changes would be to build a new interchange just for the tram above crowchild, going from Bishop Carroll straight east. Then I would go through Scarboro and straight north on 16 St all the way up to Sunalta station to finish.
