I agree that it does feel a little sterile and monocultured, but 'having nothing to do other than eat or shop' is a similar situation to the suburbs. At least in UD, there is density that supports parks, plazas, and playgrounds that are lively, and enables folks to walk to eateries and...

Snagged a couple of pics on my way past and as someone who is not typically a fan of the black mirrored glass aesthetic, I really like how the building has transformed. I never noticed the goose mural before now, but in person it now really pops against the lighter coloured windows.

Gulf Canada just finished a full scale renovation of its lobby and +15 areas last summer, so I'd wager it wouldn't be on the market for a conversion. Plus, the Tim Horton's is now undergoing renovation and I doubt the franchise owner would do so just to be out of a home in a couple of years.

What a disappointing conclusion to a survey that saw the overwhelming majority of respondents in support of the free fare zone. There must be some sort of ulterior motive at play because there will not be an elimination of disorder as a result of eliminating the FFZ. Since when has the $4 fare...

They've definitely put in the effort to save the parking and mitigate resulting pushback. From this image, it looks like everywhere you could park against the curb can be parked at against the bike lane barrier, save for the new curb extensions at intersections which would likely have been...

Entwisle said "I am a NIMBY but I can't come out and say that, so I am going to disguise it as a parking and mobility issue instead; won't somebody think of the elderly!!! Oh and I've ridden a bike for leisure a nondescript number of times so my opinion is very valuable. Instead, we should have...

I think its also important to consider that Etihad doesn't fly to a single US destination west of Chicago. That means, for any city west of and including Denver, a connection through YYC is the most geographically direct route. Sure, there are other competitors offering non stops to the middle...

That's very true, I'm taking for granted that the commuter rail system would even be part of an integrated transit system. I wonder if it would be more effective to build out that system now with Airdrie ICE, Cochrane COLT, On-It, etc., or wait until commuter rail becomes a reality to start...

I feel like the C-Train as an LRT has historically been tasked with being everything to everyone and that has been okay up to this point, but for a city getting to be 2MM metro pop, it has to stop here. No LRT to Okotoks, none to Airdrie, and realistically our all stop "metro" LRT should be...

Agreed, the train has to go downtown as I'm sure the province is planning to do. Firstly, the Red Line does not have the capacity to absorb commuter trains full of people heading downtown. C-Trains would be full before even reaching Anderson and 7th Ave is maxed out frequency wise. Secondly, I...

IIRC as an interchange station between commuter rail and the C-Train for those not going all the way downtown.

Aw man, R.I.P. old security checkpoint B. I will never forget your always empty queue while A was rammed with WestJet flyers walking from the check-in desks straight to the closest checkpoint. Same for C being a respite from the nightly madness occurring at the international hall's central...

https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ is accurate to the number of tracks (single vs. double), but you have to zoom most of the way in to see the two tracks.

Holy moly, this so much. There is way too much slack in the schedule for many routes on weekend and late night runs which cause huge inefficiency across the network. If they are going to attack anything first, it should be this. A combination of less car traffic, less ridership (fewer stops to...

Another few cars parked in the semi-complete 15 ave bike lane lol. The busybody in me also wishes we had a crowdsourced system to report and have vehicles ticketed for these violations. I can't find it for the life of me, but I remember seeing Reddit post from a guy in London UK who shared a...
