CITY CLERK'S DEPARTMENT Re: Green Line Dear Mayor Nenshi and City Council, We would like to thank-you for the opportunity to appear before the Green Line Committee on June 1st to present our position and recommendations on the Green Line. Now that the Committee has forwarded Administration's proposal to the full City Council, the intent of this letter is to confirm our recommendations and ensure that all of Council is aware of them. As you are all aware, we are strong supporters of moving forward with the Green Line including a crossing of the Bow River, and we have and continue to recommend changes be made to ensure the entire Green Line maximizes its potential as a significant city building project. With that in mind we again propose the following recommendations which we would encourage Council to consider as amendments to the Administration recommendation made to the Green Line Committee. We would also like to reiterate our strong thanks and support for the changes made in the Eau Claire station area, and ask that Council formally adopt this station solution within their decision. Recommendation 1: Ensuring Successful Construction by Stage-Gating Stage 1 Given its size and scope, Council has prudently discussed the importance of cost management on the Green Line project.

    Volume 31 The Rotary Club of Calgary is an organization of Number 34 professional and community leaders who come together through commitment and March 7, 2014 fellowship to create opportunities and a better future for generations to follow. District No. 5360 Dr. Remo Panaccione – IBD in Alberta Sean Baylis had the pleasure of introducing our speaker: Dr. Remo Panaccione, Team Lead (Treatment and Cure) with the Alberta IBD Consortium, and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Calgary. Dr. Panaccione has also been recognized by Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers specifically to either Crohn's disease or to ulcerative colitis. It is different from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which is a collection of symptoms experienced by many people in industrial societies. Although IBD is on the rise globally, the per capita disease rates are highest in Alberta. Several studies have attempted to determine why this is so, but IBD occurrence patterns, and the root causes of this disease, are still unknown. Genetics may play a role as the IBD disease rates are generally higher where there are populations of Scandinavian descent, but environmental factors are also suspected. Did you know that the Alberta IBD Consortium is ranked among the top five research centres in the world? In just three years the group has tested three new agents that have been approved to treat IBD. The consortium’s goal is to continue to develop therapies that will improve patient quality of life. Dr. Panaccione’s interests lie in conducting clinical trials for new treatments.

    Peace Bridge

    PEACE BRIDGE Calgary, Canada Inaugurated March 24, 2012 PEACE BRIDGE | 04.05.12 PAGE 2 of 2 SANTIAGO CALATRAVA ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT I was honored to be asked by The City of Calgary to design a bridge of merit over the Bow River. The Design Brief for the project placed a number of key restrictions on my design that influenced my development of the tubular steel truss design. The geometrical constraints of the site for the bridge that had been selected by the City included the adjacent heliport (only 75m away) and the Bow River itself. The approach cone to the heliport (the path in which helicopters must fly) creates a “no go” zone above the bridge and the high water and ice levels of the Bow River create a similar restriction below. These constrictions come together to generate an envelope of only 7m in which to create the bridge. The City advised us that no piers would be accepted in the river bed, and as such the need for a clear span of 125m between banks (and out of the flood zone) was required. The small envelope of space coupled with the restriction of no intermediate supports drove me to look at a deep “box girder” design; discarding the more usual candidate structures for such a span (such as Arched or Cable stayed designs), which would have been simply too shallow to be viable. Indeed these restrictions led us to develop schemes for launching the bridge horizontally over the River without the need for even temporary piers in the river.
