  • Transit Oriented Development, Best Practices Handbook
    Trransitansit OOrientedriented DDevelopmentevelopment Best Practices Handbook January 2004 ... for smart development around transit stations Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is a walkable, mixed use form of development focused around a transit station. Concentrating higher density development near the station makes transit convenient and encourages ridership. This Best Practices Handbook introduces the key planning principles behind successful TOD. It summarizes some of the current practices for designing and implementing transit oriented development. In this handbook, you will find information on the following: • Why plan for land use around transit stations? • Where does TOD occur? • Why is TOD important for Calgary? • What are current Calgary policies for TOD? • What are the TOD “Best Practices”? • Where is TOD being built? • How are cities implementing TOD? • Where can you find out more about TOD? This Best Practices Handbook is not a policy document. It is intended as an information resource for Council, developers, builders, planners, urban designers, communities and the general public. Its purpose is to explain TOD, its characteristics, its benefits and its challenges. It will serve as a background document for future City of Calgary policies which will guide TOD land uses, urban design and implementation strategies at LRT stations. The Handbook will also help stimulate creative thinking and discussion, and ultimately facilitate the smart development of lands around Calgary’s LRT stations. Why Plan for Land Use Around Transit Stations? Calgary City Council has endorsed Advancing Smart Growth as a key priority in its 2002-2004 mandate. Smart Growth recommends a balanced approach to municipal development by supporting economic development, a healthy environment and strong communities.

  • Anderson Station Park and Ride Plan 1. Introduction 2. Previous Council
    TT2016-0719 ATTACHMENT 1 Anderson Station Park and Ride Plan 1. Introduction In response to Report TT2016-0319, Council directed Administration to "Report back to the SPC on Transportation and Transit with a park and ride plan for Anderson Station no later than 2016 September." In order to support transit-oriented development (TOD) at Anderson Station park and ride lot, Real Estate and Development Services (RE&DS) and Calgary Transit are developing a plan to balance park and ride supply with land redevelopment opportunities. This is necessary to balance the customer demand for park and ride stalls during redevelopment of the station area. 2. Previous Council Direction/Policy At the 2016 June 20 Regular Meeting of Council, Council amended and accepted the recommendations outlined in TT2016-0319 – A Review of Calgary Transit Park and Ride, and directed Administration to: 1. Develop a general park and ride strategy for current and future CTrain stations with the goal of optimizing park and ride and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) opportunities to achieve an overall target to serve approximately 15 percent of weekday peak period CTrain trips based on the park and ride planning criteria outlined in Attachment 1. 2. Enable shared use parking in the vicinity of CTrain stations and major bus use terminals through Land Use and Policy provisions. 3. Explore additional funding for park and ride development and management using surplus revenues from other parking. 4. Transition towards a system of 100 percent monthly reserved parking with differential pricing based on demand and offer a system of daily reserved parking that utilizes vacant monthly reserved spaces.

  • Chinook Station Area Redevelopment Plan Update
    Page 1 of 10 Item # 7.2 Planning & Development Report to ISC: UNRESTRICTED SPC on Planning and Urban Development PUD2019-0128 2019 March 06 Chinook Station Area Redevelopment Plan Update EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to recommend approval of the Chinook Station Area Redevelopment Plan (The Plan), which was referred back to Administration at the 2018 November 05 meeting of the Standing Policy Committee (SPC) on Planning and Urban Development (PUD2018-1178, Attachment 1). Administration has consulted with internal and external stakeholders, including members of Calgary Planning Commission (CPC), to revise the land use concept. The proposed policy aligns with the updated land use concept and will guide redevelopment in the Chinook- Manchester area over time. Administration is recommending that Council refer the development of a funding strategy for Chinook-Manchester to be considered as part of the Established Areas Growth and Change Strategy in order for The City to strategically prioritize areas for development in Calgary. Without an approved local area plan, development will continue to occur through development permit and land use amendment applications. Without an approved plan, the strategic vision and policies that The Plan provides in order to facilitate transit-oriented development in Chinook-Manchester would be not be available to guide redevelopment decision-making. Approval(s): Dalgleish, Stuart concurs with this report.

  • Building the Iron Horse: the Evolving Transportation and Land Use Planning Philosophy Towards Calgary’S Light Rail Transit System
    Building the Iron Horse: The Evolving Transportation and Land Use Planning Philosophy towards Calgary’s Light Rail Transit System by Filip Mateusz Majcherkiewicz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Filip Mateusz Majcherkiewicz 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Many cities today are contemplating major investments in rail transit systems, especially Light Rail Transit (LRT), to address two significant planning issues which have characterized North American metropolitan growth patterns: increasing automobile use and decentralizing population and employment. Proponents of these systems argue that by building rail transit, travel behaviour and land use patterns can be changed. The experience in cities which have built these systems is mixed, but transportation and land use outcomes typically go hand-in-hand: San Diego, Denver, and Portland have increased transit ridership and intensification in station areas, whereas Buffalo and Cleveland have had minimal change occur as a result of investments in LRT. Calgary, Alberta presents an interesting case as its LRT system, first opened in 1981, generates tremendous ridership but has had relatively modest land use change in station areas. This thesis aims to understand why intensification has been so marginal at many stations, and to uncover what are the unique facets of Calgary’s experience which shaped this outcome.

  • Seniors' Transit Usage
    Seniors’ Transit Usage Stakeholder Report Back: What we Heard March 6, 2018 Project overview The Seniors’ Transit Usage project aimed to understand the relationship between seniors and transit. The project team wanted to understand seniors’ preferences when deciding whether or not to take transit. In June 2016, the Calgary Transit zero-based review report was presented to Council. This report made various recommendations in which Transit could improve their efficiency and effectiveness in public transit service delivery. As a result of this report, Council directed Administration to provide an assessment of their transit services in order to identify potential changes to service levels or service efficiency, which means the overall customer experience. This also included potential changes to the cost of the Regular Senior Yearly Pass. Additionally, Calgary Transit aims to align their services with the Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy. The Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy includes initiatives that provide opportunities for Calgary's aging population to participate more fully in their communities. This has resulted in identifying key priority areas for The City to track how it's supporting social inclusion and wellbeing for Calgarians as they age. The priority area that this project aligns with in the Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy is Transportation and Mobility. The goal for this priority area is that Calgarians are able to freely move throughout the city as they age. One of the primary indicators that tracks the progress of this result is affordability of public transit fares and passes for seniors. Engagement overview Through engagement for the Seniors’ Transit Usage project we wanted to understand what influences seniors to take transit.

  • Green Line LRT in My Community
    Green Line LRT in My Community What we heard report At-Grade Stations 4 Street S.E., Highfield, Lynnwood/Millican, Ogden, South Hill, Quarry Park, Douglas Glen, Shepard April 2018 Project overview On June 26, 2017, City Council approved the full vision for the Green Line LRT. The vision for Green Line includes a 46 km route from 160 Avenue North to Seton, and 28 stations. Construction on the first 20 km is anticipated to begin in 2020, and will extend from 16 Avenue N (Crescent Heights) to 126 Avenue SE (Shepard). Construction of Stage 1 is expected to be complete by 2026. Once Stage 1 is complete, extensions will be built as funds become available to complete the full vision. The purpose of the engagement was to gather input on safety and security, aesthetics and landscaping, and access to stations to help develop guiding technical documents that will be used during construction of Green Line – Stage 1. Engagement overview In January and February 2018, The City of Calgary held open houses and pop-up sessions with community members to provide information about the Green Line LRT - Stage 1 and to collect input on station design, station area look and feel, safety and security and community experience. From January 18, 2018 to February 13, 2018 The City of Calgary hosted an online survey on its engagement portal at engage.calgary.ca/GreenLine to solicit feedback from Calgarians. Input collected from the public will be reflected in the technical documents that will guide the construction of Green Line – Stage 1. Open house sessions for at-grade stations were held at the Glenmore Inn on January 25, 2018 and the Millican Ogden Community Association on February 3, 2018.

  • 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.
