    The distance isn't actually that much longer. CP's Red Deer sub from 12th Street East to Red Deer is 95.6 miles. Highway 2 starting from 17th Ave SE to the Highway 11 overpass in Red Deer is ~91 miles. Part of the reason for the rail cutting back and forth too is due to the fact that trains...

    Calgary | The Nines | 22m | 6s | Opus Corporation | Gravity Architecture

    Personal gripe: I'm a big fan of the project, and would love to see more in the area, but its a little frustrating that the site closes down the right lane of Elbow SB at Southland everyday. SB Traffic ends up backing up to 94-96 Ave and getting in and out of the area is a mess.

    Double track would be two lines running parallel to each other, typically with ~14' between track centers with one railroad in charge of the traffic running on both tracks. If it was separate tracks, CPKC would be responsible for traffic on their track and Liricon would be responsible for the...

    As a CP employee, with no knowledge of any MOU or plans or agreements, I think it would have been sweet to just upgrade/double up our whole mainline to make the passenger traffic work on our network. Rather than the mess of them running parallel, just have it all integrated together. Knowing...

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    All good, I am just very excited to no longer get stuck at that crossing & light. I think both it and the pedestrian tunnel will be good for the area. Not much room on the CP side of the tracks to develop right now, but I am confident on the Ogden side developing a lot once the line opens up.

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    The crossing is also used by other businesses on Ogden Dale Rd, which includes semi- trucks with trailers. That grade crossing is already quite tight with just the CPKC line, and the addition of 2 LRT tracks will increase the risk due to the decreased safe stopping area and large increase in...

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    To add for the reasoning for CPKC, the orientation of Ogden Road/69 Ave/Ogden Dale Rd means that typically 5-7 vehicles get through the light to make the left hand turn onto Ogden in the afternoon, creating large backups for employees leaving. When the Green Line goes in, there won't be room for...

    Calgary | Rivers Edge | 20m | 6s | GBS | NORR

    Its even worse than just railway tracks. With the new rail bridge put in, yard switching operations are extended further West from Alyth, so there will now be even more noise from shoving cars back and forth.

    Calgary | Oakridge Co-op Redevelopment (Oakridge Crossing) | 43.89m | 12s | Calgary Co-op | Sahuri + Partners

    Looks like work is starting at the Oakridge Co-op redevelopment. Not sure which parts are going ahead when, but it is good to see work starting.

    Calgary | Aria | 22m | 6s | NORR

    On the on this page, it looks like bike lanes are planned to run on the two avenues parallel to University Ave, in addition to the existing network of multiuse pathways.

    General Construction Updates

    There is this development permit for a rooftop patio restaurant - https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2019-0996 for the same block, although the location doesn't quite match up (NW instead of SW corner of the block). But I can't see a rooftop patio working anywhere else on the block.
