    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    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...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    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...

    Calgary International Airport

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

    Calgary Transit

    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.

    Calgary International Airport

    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...

    Calgary Regional Rail Transit

    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...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    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...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Ah no, that's okay, I generally agree. Making the most out of these 100% car free cycle routes should be a priority and is far better than incurring additional cost to build something that is going to have conflict points every 200m along Bowness Road. BUT if paths deep inside parks are going to...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    I am happy to see the city not shying away from on street paths/lanes where there is a park MUP nearby, especially when the MUP is deep inside a park and unlit. Many moons ago I regularly commuted on my bike between Cedarbrae and a retail store near Heritage station at all hours of the day and...
