certainly looks close.

good catch. not sure what to make of option 2 as it doesn't explicitly state where local buses will go.

the options listed by the city point out that local buses will use the bus lanes and station platforms as well.

The swings are a bit different from a playground swing in that they include limit stops to prevent people from swinging dangerously high. I expect that people are abusing the swings and bumping hard against the stops. The short distance between the pivot axis and the stop itself creates a large...

Given how much was spent on that bridge and how wide the path is, the fence makes total sense to me. That entire corridor used to be intimidating on a bike — the bridge was narrow and scary, close to semis rushing by with rocks and dust flying in your face, and the old west sidewalk ran...

Calgary runs one of the longest LRT systems in North America, and flat fares have arguably incentivized continued sprawl — including the wave of workers commuting from Cochrane, Okotoks, and Airdrie to the nearest station at city limits. There's some logic to a distance-based fare, but the...

I've seen plenty of workers here but as you say, only ever a few at once. Work is subtle but they are removing temporary lightpoles, working on the guardrail fencing, painting the bridge piers, etc. Seems pretty clear they are getting things prepped before they come in with paving equipment to...

Holy cow. A mediocre building that gets built beats a beautiful one that doesn't, every time. We're talking about bringing 800-1,000 students into downtown — the lowest car-ownership demographic in the city — who fill the evening and weekend foot-traffic gap that downtown suffers from most...
