The system has since expanded to become the backbone of the regional transit network with 58 route-kilometres of track and 45 stations. Today, on the average weekday, over 320,000 passengers are carried on the existing LRT network, making it the most successful LRT system in North America. The Green Line is the· next LRT line to be built in Calgary. In 2014 Calgary City Council committed $520 million to this project to start initial implementation of the Green Line. On July 24, 2015 the Government of Canada made a historic funding co mmitment to the Green Line of up to $1.53 billion, contingent on matching provincial and municipal funds. The City of Calgary hopes to use this opportunity to partner with all levels of government and advance construction. A N Beddington Blvd Q Tuscany 0 , ....

The project was a catalyst to improve transit, pedestrian facilities, cycling infrastructure, traffic flow and enhance development opportunities across west Calgary. West LRT included 6 new CTrain stations, over 8 km of double track and 1,192 park and ride stalls. West LRT was 95% funded by the Government of Alberta through the Municipal Sustainability In itiative and Green TRIP. Calgarians respond positively to improved rapid transit options Add ing West LRT resulted in a large jumps in transit use for those communities in close proximity to the LRT line. In some cases upwards of 30% of residents now take transit to work (City-wide average is 18%). We expect to see similar results in the Southeast and North Central parts of the City with the completion of the Green Line LRT. 2014 Percentage taking transit to work 0 <1 0% 10%-15% - 15%-20% - 20%-25% - 25%-30% -30%-50 % U Non-Residential Community TT2015-0881 , GREEN LINE FUNDING, STAGING AND DELIVERY/Att2.pdf Page 7 of 14 ISC: Unrestricted A plan to enhance mobility and be fiscal y and environmentally responsible We have a plan and we're read y RouteAhead 3G-year Rapid Transit Network The Calgary Transportation Plan is a 60-year vision which responds to growing transportation concerns by providing a balanced approach to improving mobility for all modes of travel.

Macleod Trail, as we know it today, has remained much the same since the 1960’s. It was, and continues to be, characterized by low-rise buildings accompanied by paved parking lots and poor infrastructure for pedestrians. The development of low-density land use and long distances between destinations or areas of interest has encouraged driving as the primary way for people to get to and from key destinations along Macleod Trail.

    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.

    e: [email protected] w: www.quarrypark.ca QUARRY PARK NEWS QUARRY PARK NEWSLETTER JUNE 2017 WELCOME SUMMER! Summer is finally here and gardening season is in full swing! We all want our neighbourhood looking its very best, and well maintained lawns and boulevards go a long way to ensure that our community is safe, clean and attractive. Yard maintenance falls under Community Standards Bylaw 5M2004, which can be reviewed in detail at www.calgary.ca/CSPS/ABS/Pages/Bylaws-by-topic/Yards.aspx. We have listed a few of the main topics addressed in the bylaw below: Grass and Weeds Owners/occupiers of a property are generally responsible for caring for and maintaining their property and adjacent areas such as boulevards, sidewalks and lanes, up to the centre of the back alley. Keep weeds under control and don’t allow them to spread onto other properties. Any invasive plants and noxious weeds must be destroyed, but should not be placed in a composter as this will contribute to the seed spreading. Use pesticides responsibly, consider chemical- free alternatives, and advise your neighbours before you use a pesticide. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning or after it cools off in the evening. Please make sure water isn’t running onto the street or sidewalk. For water-saving tips, visit the City of Calgary Water Services web site at www.calgary.ca/waterservices. Trees and Shrubs Trees and shrubs on public sidewalks and boulevards are maintained by the City of Calgary and are protected under the Tree Protection Bylaw.

Calgary, T2A 6K4 calgary.ca | contact 311 03 Executive Summary This report describes the issues and challenges that are associated with goods movement in and around Calgary. These issues and challenges were identified through an extensive stakeholder engagement, which was conducted as part of The City of Calgary’s Goods Movement Strategy. The findings of this report will be used to explore potential opportunities for addressing the issues and challenges, through a subsequent review of how other jurisdictions address the issues and challenges and through a literature review of best practices. The engagement used several means to gather information from stakeholders in the Calgary goods movement community. These comprised: • Informal one-page surveys that were distributed at the February 2017 project kick-off meetings, which were held at meetings of goods movement and economic development industry associations and other groups. • One-on-one interviews that were conducted with stakeholders. These stakeholders comprised a wide range of perspectives: the provincial and federal governments, infrastructure and facility owners, emergency services, utilities, retailers, distributors, carriers, couriers, aggregates producers and industry associations. • Stakeholder meetings, which were held with four groups: o Operational Advisory Group (OAG), an external body set up to advise the Strategy on short term issues and solutions.

  • West LRT Project: Enabling Mobility and Transit Oriented Development
    TAC Sustainable Urban Transportation Award Submission by City of Calgary West LRT Project: Enabling Mobility and Transit Oriented Development INTRODUCTION The City of Calgary opened a new light rail transit (LRT) line in December 2012, marking a key milestone in sustainable transportation for Calgary that we can offer as a national case study. Calgary is recognized as an expansive and growing prairie city, but less well known are The City’s vision, plans and efforts in moving towards a more sustainable future. Sustainability principles and considerations are now embedded in all plans and investments. The City is making decisions and building infrastructure today that will affect citizens for the next 100 years or more. A case in point is the newest LRT line routing which will be highly influential to where and how people will live, work and move around the city. The West LRT Project is the largest capital project ever undertaken by The City, and it’s the sole new transit line developed in Calgary in over 20 years. Many aspects of the project are remarkable, both in terms of project approach (construction practices, stakeholder engagement, and project financing) and outcomes (expanded mobility choices, shifting urban form). The 8.2km long LRT line extension from downtown to the west serves several communities in Southwest Calgary and provides the most convenient access to the greatest number of people. The chosen alignment allows the shortest possible feeder bus trips for travel to and from the LRT stations for those people who are beyond walking distance. The new transit line enables mobility and mobility choice for the area’s current 105,000 residents, and for the rest of the city’s 1.2 million residents to access that area.
