ped bridge over the whitemud has some action on the landscaping side. approach path to the bridge from north side is being roughed in. and here's the project rendering.

clearing up the area near the curb for paving. on north side of site they are unloading wooden forms for concrete dividers.

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...

Obligatory before/after comparison. not much changes besides the color scheme of the upper panels.

you can see the oil canning from photos taken earlier in the thread. I remember staring at these panels hoping that they would be replaced.

they paved both of the approach paths last night and left the bridge 'open' this morning without barricades but later this afternoon it looks like the barricades are back so not sure that the bridge is officially open. in any case the deck looks done but still has some tools and garbage sitting...

APTA ridership report is released for Q2 2025, more growth for light rail ridership which one would assume is most boosted by growth on the (still new) Valley Line. Interesting that the vast majority of total ridership growth is on light rail rather than bus.

yeah he's running, he's obviously not cycling though.
