    UNRESTRICTED Overview of Program 566 RouteAhead Rapid Transit Corridors TT2016-0335 ATTACHMENT 1 Calgary’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network is an important part of The City’s overall transportation plan and, along with the Southwest Calgary Ring Road, the Green Line and other major transportation projects, will provide Calgarians with the travel options they need to move through and around the city quickly and efficiently. BRT is a fast, reliable bus service. Cities around the world have adopted BRT services, and view them as an integral part of their overall transit and transportation plans. BRT routes have fewer stops than a regular bus route, which means they can cover more ground, more quickly. Four new BRT projects will fill important gaps in the existing transit network, and provide more direct connections to major destinations. Program 566 includes the following projects: North Crosstown BRT South Crosstown BRT 17 Avenue S.E. BRT (identified previously as 17 Avenue SE Transitway) Southwest BRT (identified previously as Southwest Transitway) The City of Calgary currently operates five BRT routes, including routes 300, 301, 302, 305 and 306. The infrastructure projects in Program 566 complement the existing network of BRT and LRT routes, and are designed with connections to the future Green Line LRT in mind. The map below shows future transit capital projects, as identified in RouteAhead (2012). A brief overview and map for each of the projects in Program 566 follows.

  • Assessing the Benefits of Ground Penetrating Radar Technology - Does It Improve the Accuracy of FWD Results and Overlay Design?
    Assessing the Benefits of Ground Penetrating Radar Technology - Does it Improve the Accuracy of FWD Results and Overlay Design? Amir Abd-El Halim, PhD., PEng Stantec Consulting Ltd. Richard Korczak, PEng Stantec Consulting Ltd. Magdy Shaheen, MASc Stantec Consulting Mohammad Karim, MASc., PEng City of Calgary Joe Chyc Cies, PEng City of Calgary Paper prepared for presentation at the Advances in Pavement Evaluation and Instrumentation Session of the 2012 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Fredericton, New Brunswick Abstract Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) testing is an integral component of many city’s pavement and asset management programs. FWD testing is used by cities for both network and project level testing to assess the in-situ strength of the pavement structure and underlying subgrade soils. For project level testing, the correct Maintenance, Rehabilitation, or Reconstruction (M, R &R) strategy can be determined using deflection results obtained from the FWD. One of the key data requirements for analyzing FWD data through “Backcalculation” is accurate pavement layer data. Many cities rely solely on as built data or core/bore data as an input for FWD Backcalculation. Since pavement thickness, material types, and composition can vary along the length of a roadway, some level of uncertainty is introduced in the analysis and design due to the lack of a continuous profile. More recently, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology is being used to provide a continuous layer profile and enhance FWD results. As a part of this study, over 150 ln-km of roadways in Calgary, Alberta were surveyed with the GPR and FWD in 2010 and 2011.

  • Key Findings by Main Street
    Key findings by main street By reviewing the local statistics for each main street, the Main Streets’ team is considering how past population, employment and transportation trends apply to the future of Calgary’s main streets. 22 | The Main Streets initiative What we’ve learned 14 Street W 8 AV NW W W N N T T S S 4 0 14 Street W now 1 1 6 AV NW A 5 AV NW 14 Street West is a main street that reaches from 6 14 Street NW Avenue NW to 33 Street SW. It’s a varied main street that spans over the Bow River through the historic KENSINGTON RD NW communities of Hillhurst, Sunalta, Beltline, Bankview, and South Calgary. It functions as an important link to W V S 4 A M Memorial Drive, Bow Trail and 9 Avenue connecting EMORIAL DR NW SW V A SW 5 AV 6 TR SW the Downtown and 17 Avenue through the Beltline.
