Calgary Transit Calgary Transit LRT System Success Questions: • Why LRT? • How we succeeded with Ride the Wind? • How did we make this happen and continue building the vision and maintain political consensus and keep up momentum for the plan? First a bit about Calgary and Calgary Transit Calgary Today… • Population = 1.09 million • High density downtown – 130,000 jobs • Low density suburbs • 848 sq kms (2006 = 764 + 11%)) The City Past 10 Years = Growth! . Leading Canada in Economic Growth . 25,000 / year, (75 / day) . 20% of all new Canadian jobs . Building in every corner of the city The People . Young . Affluent . Well Educated . Mobile . Love of outdoors . Environmentally Conscious . Yahoo! Leadership . Council & Administration Alignment . Common Shared Vision . Sustainability is key principle . Triple Bottom Line (environment, social, economic) . Community Buy In . How does this happen? Calgary Transit Overview • Operating since 1909 • Integrated Multi-modal System – LRT (CTrain) – Bus – Access Calgary (disabled transport) • 1,000+ vehicles (900+ buses, 193 LRVs) • ~2,500 Employees RIDERSHIP • Annual system trips = +95 million • Weekday = ~575,000 (bus + LRT) • CTrain carries ~50% ~270,000 daily – Up to 760 passengers / hour on LRT – 6% of system operating hours 10 Year Ridership Trends 1999 to 2008 • Population +25 % • Transit Ridership +33 % – CTrain +80 % • Market Share (work trips) – Downtown 50% – City-wide 17 % HOW DO WE COMPARE? • Highest Per Capita Transit Ridership West of Mississauga • Highest LRT Ridership in North America – Total ridership – Trips Per Capita Factors for Transit Success • Consistent long range vision • City’s Municipal Development & Transportation Plans are linked • Continuous planning updates – Lots of Public engagement • Demonstrated transit system success – LRT a key factor • Capital Funding support from Province for transit City’s Vision is Founded in Planning • Pattern of intensive growth spurts resulted in recognition for better planning • Common vision for a more sustainable city • Series of long range planning initiatives • Considerable public engagement and support Long Range Planning History of Plans • Calgary Transportation Study – 1968 • Calgary General Municipal Plan – 1979-1981 • Go Plan - 1995 • Municipal Development Plan 1998 • Consistent objectives and concepts for transit plan • Considerable public input Downtown Parking Policy • 1972 policy restricts supply of new parking in downtown Calgary • No new roadways + strategic parking supply • Transit service required to transport ~50% of downtown employees – led to LRT decision. • Cash in lieu policy requires developer contribution to fund strategically located, City operated parkades (25% of supply). • Only 25% of normal supply at each new building.

  • South Shaganappi Study Report
    Item #7.2 Transportation Report to ISC: UNRESTRICTED SPC on Transportation and Transit TT2018-0822 2018 July 19 Page 1 of 8 South Shaganappi Study Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides a summary of the South Shaganappi Study which includes the 16 Avenue N and Shaganappi Trail interchange, the Shaganappi Trail and Memorial Drive intersection and Memorial Drive and Bowness Road interchange. The study was warranted by the re-classification of Shaganappi Trail south of Crowchild Trail N from a Skeletal Road to an Arterial Street in the 2009 Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP). The primary focus of Corridor Studies is to generate concepts that can be potentially implemented in 20 to 30 years and beyond. Developing concepts for infrastructure ahead of time helps to ensure land is protected for future infrastructure if needed or releasing land if not required. Having an approved concept also helps to achieve a land use vision for the area that complements the transportation vision. The South Shaganappi Study has incorporated public engagement as a critical part of the study, following the Corridor Study Policy approved by Council in 2014. Working with residents of adjacent communities, local community associations, and key stakeholders, the study team has developed short-term and long-term concept plans for transportation infrastructure in the study area. Concepts including a do-nothing option, a tight diamond interchange, a hybrid version with signals, an east-west couplet configuration, and at-grade intersections were evaluated for the long-term scenario. The Tight Urban Diamond interchange emerged as the preferred concept based on stakeholder input, safety, access and connectivity, multi-modal transportation, efficient traffic flow, land enhancement and financial capacity.

  • Welcome to the Deerfoot Trail Study Open House
    Deerfoot Trail Study Welcome to the N Deerfoot Trail Study Open House Thank you for coming! Please come in and have a look at the information boards. The project team will be happy to answer your questions. Feedback forms are available here and at calgary.ca/deerfoot until June 30, 2016. Public input from this first phase will be used to help confirm the problems we are trying to solve, and understand Calgarians’ priorities about where and how they use the road. In partnership with 2016-0656 Deerfoot Trail Study About the Study The City of Calgary (The City) and Alberta Transportation (AT) are working together to study Deerfoot Trail, between the Stoney Trail interchanges in the north and south. The study will consider a variety of freeway management strategies — including some new to Calgary — to recommend safety and reliability improvements. The focus will be on making the most of the existing infrastructure, planning for future growth and aligning with the Calgary Transportation Plan. The study will define and recommend a program of upgrades for Deerfoot Trail by: Identifying the existing and future travel needs on the corridor, and any associated impacts on the surrounding communities. Engaging the public, community groups Deerfoot Trail looking north at 17 Avenue S.E. / Blackfoot Trail and stakeholders to identify users and demands for the corridor, and build a range of potential solutions. Recommending safety and mobility Deerfoot Trail looking south at Peigan Trail improvements for people who drive and take transit. Improving air quality and reducing vehicular emissions as part of a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and Interchange at Deerfoot Trail and 16 Avenue North reduce the time needed to travel to and within the corridor.
