That would be nice for sure, and a good way to tie in U/D to other parts of the city (pedestrian and cycle wise)
I happened to get some photos here back in April, it's a great link to Dale Hodges Park - Bow River Pathway and I feel super comfortable with the separation. Part of the Neighbourhood Streets Pilot and would love to see more of this in other neighbourhoods
Totally agree. They're far enough apart that it's cost effective, but close enough together that it keeps auto traffic separate and from drifting into the bike lanes.
Signed up last week for monthly bike parking at Platform, excited to have a nice safe n dry place to park my bike downtown

That's the way to do a bicycle cage - some degree of weather protection, huge amounts of space, right up front of the building instead of through a bunch of awkward doors near a back entrance, or in a basement near the dumpsters.
Agreed, its easy to access, but still very secure. Protected from rain and snow but still outside. They also have seperate racks that you can keep your lock on so people don't leave their locks on the bike racks themselves
I don't understand the need for street parking along there. If it has to be thoroughfare for cars so be it but parking should be forced to nearby lots. Parked cars will take away some of the ambiance that is trying to be created for Stampeded Trail.
And to my comment in the other thread - to what need? Permanently sacrificing a cycling connection and/or wider and more consistent sidewalks to accommodate a handful of cars? Events in the area will have tens of thousands of visitors, not a dozen. Any on-street space for parking won't add any measurable capacity for parking while will take away measurable capacity for everyone else, notably the most efficient space users in cyclists and pedestrians.
Good props for Cowtown. Second only to Montreal in Canadian citties...at least going by their rankings. Calgary had a high 'network' rating which I suspect comes a lot from the extensive river pathways. Still good to see.Calgary scores near the top in annual North American cycling rankings - LiveWire Calgary
The backbone of Calgary’s high score in a recent North American ranking of bike-friendly cities is built on the city’s extensive multi-use pathway network, said one city councillor. The sixth annual PeopleForBikes city ratings had Calgary ranked fifth in the large city (300,000+ population). In...
Though I don't like Jamieson Place's street presence, I do have to give Quadreal props for the bike infrastructure. Bike lanes within the parkade, bike cage, and change rooms located next to them.
