The SE is really classic Calgary LRT with full dedicated ROW, so HF trains would work just fine. But 3 trains entering 7th from the east could not work for long, so red line would have to move to 8th
It wouldn't. A stop at Bottle Screw Bill's puts you less than 350m from 7th ave and 230m from 8th. Can do the same at 4th/5th and 8th.
It's not ideal, but it's much better than a terminus east of City Hall. You could add high frequency bus loop(s) to circulate downtown. 6th Ave and 9th should get dedicated bus lanes for the MAX routes anyways. |
So you'd need duplicate maintence facilities built if they ever build the north line? I dunno, none of this makes any long term sense to me. Build it right the first time, FFS. The fact we are re-studying decisions discarded from 2016 and still have nothing built is crazy.
