With the dust finally settled in mid-June, I took a long look at the line and started on a series of rewrites. This one, dated July 20, 1987, was com• pleted after I had a very extensive look at all of the line. It is virtually ready to run and I have it on good opinion that sporadic testing was to have begun in late July, with almost daily non-revenue running during August and a planned opening date of Sept.

  • Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 Public Engagement
    Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement March 13, 2019 calgary.ca | contact 311 03 Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement About this what we heard report This report summarizes the activities and results of engagement for the Centre City Plan Refresh project. It outlines the project, the purpose of the public engagement, the activities we did, and a summary of what we heard at the events. A full list of comments received through public engagement is included in this report. This report does not outline what has happened as a result of the public engagement. That summary will be published at a later date, once all engagement has been completed and project plans have been finalized. Project overview In 2007, based on extensive citizen input, City Council adopted the Centre City Plan, a vision document that describes what the Centre City could look like in 30 years. The Centre City Plan is a coordinated strategy document that pulls together the vision for the Centre City along with strategies and actions relating to land use planning, economic, cultural, and social development, and governance. With the approval of the adoption of the Centre City Plan (CPC2007-049), it included a recommendation for regular monitoring and reporting. In January 2017 the Centre City Plan was identified as one of 28 Council policies to be amended. It’s time to review and refresh the original Centre City Plan. Calgary’s Centre City is the area south of the Bow River (including Prince’s Island Park) from 17th Avenue Southwest and 14th Street Southwest, to the Elbow River.

    Bernie was a Rambler for 18 years during the period starting in 1995, becoming a Coordinator during part of that time. Bernie Written by Michael F. Fritz and Silvia B. González It follows below the text of the Obituary written by Michael F. Fritz (older son of Bernie) in Memory and honour to his father. It was published by The Calgary Herald on Wednesday September 25th and Thursday September 26th, 2013. Bernard Joseph Fritz February 14, 1936 – September 21, 2003 Bernie passed away at the age of 77 years. He was husband to Silvia; father to Michael, Susan, and Robert; father-in-law to Angela, Jim, and Pat; and grandfather to Jacob, Katie, Sam, Alex, Keshia, and Athena. Bernie was fourth eldest in a large loving family. He will be remembered with love. A service to celebrate his life will be held at St. Mary’s Cathedral, 219- 18 Avenue S.W., on Friday, September 27 at 11:00 a.m. Many thanks to the staff at Chinook Care Centre Hospice.

  • UPDATE: February, 2019—As I Gradually Go Back Over My Old Travelogues, I'll Be Leaving the Original Text Intact but Adding
    [UPDATE: February, 2019—As I gradually go back over my old travelogues, I‘ll be leaving the original text intact but adding additional comments in boldfaced enclosed in brackets to expand on what was originally said. I‘ll also add some additional photos to enhance the original travelogues.] Decades ago when I was a kid my Aunt Alaire lived out in Seattle, and my family made multiple trips out there on vacation. We took just about every imaginable route between Iowa and Washington state, but one of the most memorable was a trip that took us through Glacier National Park in Montana. It’s been nearly forty years since those trips out to Seattle. As an adult the closest I’ve gotten to Glacier Park is on Amtrak’s Empire Builder, which skirts the south edge of the park and stops at the historic Izaak Walton Lodge. I’ve always wanted to go back to the park itself, but it never really fit into any trip I was taking. On that trip back in the ‘70s we saw Glacier, but while we returned home by way of Canada we never made it into Waterton Lakes, the Canadian national park that borders Glacier. I’ve always wanted to go to Waterton Lakes, and the interest was revived when my brother Paul made a trip out there a few years ago. Not far north of Glacier is Calgary, Alberta. At one time or another I’ve been to every province in Canada, as well as two of the three current territories. (When I visited them, there were only two territories in Canada, so in a sense I’ve visited all that countries divisions.) I’ve been to all the provincial capitals and all of Canada’s major cities—except for Calgary.

  • Calgary Transit Park and Ride – Guiding Principles for Future Improvements
    Item #7.3 Transportation Report to ISC: UNRESTRICTED SPC on Transportation and Transit TT2018-0126 2018 March 08 Page 1 of 8 Calgary Transit Park and Ride – Guiding Principles for Future Improvements EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides follow-up on outstanding recommendations from a comprehensive review of Calgary Transit Park and Ride that was presented to Council on 2016 June 20 (TT2016-0319). It also addresses a related notice of motion (NM2016-18) on the feasibility of satellite park and ride. Administration initially recommended “transition[ing] towards a system of 100 percent monthly reserved parking with differential pricing” to improve the customer experience and customer certainty of finding a parking spot at Calgary Transit park and ride lots. This recommendation was referred for further study of five items: a. Daily parking provisions for occasional riders that do not utilize vacant monthly spaces. b. A system whereby monthly parkers could place their reservations on “hold” when they are not using them without forfeiting the right to purchase a monthly pass when they return. c. Altering the time when the spots become free in order to stretch out the peak period on transit. d. Working with adjacent landowners on shared parking solutions (in addition to the land use changes in Recommendation 2). e. The feasibility of differential paid/free parking rations [sic] at the different locations; and to return to Council no later than Q1 2018. Currently, in accordance with Council direction, up to 50% of park and ride stalls at a given lot can be made available for reserved parking (weekdays between 2:00 am - 10:00 am) with the remainder available for free.
