  • Service Alerts – Digital Displays
    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.

  • 2020 May Engagement Boards-Segment 1 V14
    Moving the Green Line forward As the city’s largest job creation project, construction of Green Line Stage 1 will be a critical component of the COVID-19 recovery eort. We want to be ready when Calgary is ready. Creating jobs for Calgary The Green Line LRT project generates jobs in the short-term and long-term. The Enabling Works program is keeping people working today and will continue to generate jobs between now and when the main construction is scheduled to start in 2021. Construction of Stage 1 of the Green Line will create approximately 20,000 jobs (12,000 direct and 8,000 indirect). Ready for procurement We have completed the evaluation of the responses to the Request for Qualications for Segment 1 and will be announcing the shortlisted proponents in June 2020. We are nalizing the Request for Proposals for Segment 1 and will be releasing this to the shortlisted proponents in July 2020. We have previously shortlisted four proponents for the supply of our light rail vehicles (LRVs) for the Green Line and the Request for Proposals for these new low oor vehicles will be released to the successful proponents in June 2020. Segment 1 station descriptions Ramsay/Inglewood Ramsay/Inglewood Station This station will be an elevated “bridge” station located over 11 Street S.E., and will run parallel to the CP Rail bridge, that will serve the communities of Ramsay and Inglewood. There will be an at-grade access on the west end of the station, near Jeeries Park, and a station entrance building that will provide access to the elevated station platforms.

    e: [email protected] w: www.quarrypark.ca QUARRY PARK NEWS QUARRY PARK NEWSLETTER JUNE 2017 WELCOME SUMMER! Summer is finally here and gardening season is in full swing! We all want our neighbourhood looking its very best, and well maintained lawns and boulevards go a long way to ensure that our community is safe, clean and attractive. Yard maintenance falls under Community Standards Bylaw 5M2004, which can be reviewed in detail at www.calgary.ca/CSPS/ABS/Pages/Bylaws-by-topic/Yards.aspx. We have listed a few of the main topics addressed in the bylaw below: Grass and Weeds Owners/occupiers of a property are generally responsible for caring for and maintaining their property and adjacent areas such as boulevards, sidewalks and lanes, up to the centre of the back alley. Keep weeds under control and don’t allow them to spread onto other properties. Any invasive plants and noxious weeds must be destroyed, but should not be placed in a composter as this will contribute to the seed spreading. Use pesticides responsibly, consider chemical- free alternatives, and advise your neighbours before you use a pesticide. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning or after it cools off in the evening. Please make sure water isn’t running onto the street or sidewalk. For water-saving tips, visit the City of Calgary Water Services web site at www.calgary.ca/waterservices. Trees and Shrubs Trees and shrubs on public sidewalks and boulevards are maintained by the City of Calgary and are protected under the Tree Protection Bylaw.

  • Studying North Central Light Rail Transit (LRT) Options
    Studying North Central Light Rail Transit (LRT) Options History of the North Central LRT Study In 2006, Calgary City Council approved an alignment for the North Central light rail transit (LRT) that roughly paralleled Nose Creek and Deerfoot Trail along the Canadian Pacific Rail line. In 2011, the City engaged with citizens to better understand if that route was the best option. Calgarians responded, highlighting a number of key values and expectations, including the need to look more closely at Centre Street and Edmonton Trail options. In 2012, the City initiated a study to determine where the future north-central leg of the LRT network should go to provide the best transit service for the community. The concept study is underway and will be completed in 2014. About the North Central LRT Study From the beginning, the community has played an important role in Community Principles creating the North Central LRT study. Input from Calgarians helped to The North Central LRT should: build the project vision statement and a corresponding set of project principles. • Enhance connectivity between people and places, connecting to all modes of transportation in the community; Project Vision Statement • Contribute positively to community development and revitalization; The City of Calgary is working to improve mobility in existing and new • Be the affordable transportation mode; communities in North Central Calgary by planning a transit service • Be accessible for people to get to, board and use; that will connect people and places in the community and enhance • Contribute to the character and cohesion of the community the quality of life in the City.

  • Green Line LRT Updated Segment 2 (16 Avenue N to Elbow River) Alignment, Station Location and Concept Plan
    GC2020-0583 Attachment 4 Green Line LRT Updated Segment 2 (16 Avenue N to Elbow River) Alignment, Station Location and Concept Plan ISC: Unrestricted Page 1 of 45 GC2020-0583 Attachment 4 Executive Summary This document outlines the updated Green Line Segment 2 alignment and station location plan and presents concepts that illustrate how this segment might look like. Segment 2 extends from 16 Avenue N and Centre Street N south to the Elbow River in the Beltline. The alignment was updated in order to bring the project cost estimates within budget, manage construction risk, and best deliver the vision of the project. The updated Segment 2 alignment and station location plan includes: • surface-running LRT on Centre Street N; • a bridge over the Bow River; • 2.5 km of tunnel in the Downtown and Beltline; and • 6 stations (2 at surface, 4 underground). To develop the updated Segment 2 alignment, station location and concept plan, planning and design objectives were developed from internal and external stakeholder interests and from public feedback from Green Line public engagement sessions, community meetings and stakeholder workshops. These design objectives will be used to inform the development of the functional design for the project. Segment 2 – Updated alignment and station location plan Figure identifies sections of Segment 2 alignment that are at-grade (solid lines), tunnel (dashed line) and bridge (solid line with black outline). ISC: Unrestricted Page 2 of 45 GC2020-0583 Attachment 4 Centre Street N Downtown (Eau Claire, Chinatown & Downton Core) The LRT alignment will run along the surface of The alignment continues from the new LRT bridge across the Centre Street N in the middle of the road, with a single lane Bow River, over the Bow River Pathway, and travels south of traffic in each direction and no on-street parking.
