I would appreciate having a contact name or two to communicate with the organizers of the “Calgary Eats”. I managed Calgary’s first Natural Foods restaurant back in the 70′s, am an avid gardener, and would like to assist that group in any way I can. I appreciate your help connecting with them.
All the best . . . Paul Finkleman

Comment on Crowchild Trail Corridor/HOV Study & Survey by Bryce

Hi Mike – thanks for the feedback. As I understand it these are, at this point, just ideas that are being studied for feasibility and not necessarily concrete proposals. The outcome of this process – whatever it may be – will eventually come before council.

That said, thanks for your feedback on this. I will be sure to share it with Brian.

Please be sure to fill out the survey (its still live for a couple more days) so that your thoughts are taken into consideration in the study itself.

Brian,
I hope you are NOT in favor of this HOV or bicycle routing along Crowchid Trail. The accident rates are very high here and more constraint for traffic (as the route experiences growing traffic) is ludicrous. Do not place bicycle and pedestrian commuters along the same high volume corridors.
I live in Cedarbrae where a large percentage of your constituents are families with children . We need our vehicles to deal with kids throughout the days for school and extra cirricular activities. Hence you will see a high percentage of single cars. Transit is unreliable and ill-timed for family requirements and the communities were not built for it. The city created very successful family oriented communities like this in your Ward with renewable demographics of families. respect this style of successful community and support it with the proper free- flowing traffic families require – do not try to change them into something they are not.

My dream design for NS Crowchild would see the NS route as a flyover from Bow Tr to N of 5th Street, lowering continuous EW traffic to ground level at Memorial Dr, Kensington Rd, 5th Street.

This review is more than overdue. Building overpasses way out in the suburbs at Stony Trail where the downtown traffic has thinned markedly prior to overpasses at Kensington Road, 5th NW and 24th NW does not make any sense. The bottlenecks are inner city not near the end of the commutes.

Thanks Judy – please be sure to fill out the survey at http://www.calgary.ca/crowchild and include this. I believe that its outside of the specific study area for the project, but its good feedback none-the-less!

Comment on Elbow Drive Road Reconstruction by Jack Meyer

Hi Brian,
Glad to hear of the Elbow Drive major repair work. Now if Calgary Transit wants to get the people who were forced to either walk long distances to get on the #3 Elbow Drive/ Sandstone/Fish Creek Park area, maybe they could put back some of the Bust stops between 50th Avenue and 61st Avenue. Seems they are making it harder for the Drivers to know why the stops have been deleted.
See if Calgary Transit could put the 2 back between 52 and 58th.

I received your email re updates today. I want to thank you for this and all the other updates which have made our lives a whole lot easier while the work was going on. Thanks, Brian, from Meadowlark Park.

Comment on Budget 2012-14 Update by David

David — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:57:01 +0000

With all this being said, how much money is going towards the $3.5B debt (as of April 2010)? Total debt has doubled since 2006, and you missed a great opportunity to take a stance on this. Instead you had to cater to a department (Police) that could still run w/o you giving them that extra cash. Sad.
