Yep, we're nerds
. The only other major street with a large office presence on it in Calgary is Macleod Trail. Unfortunately it hasn't been urbanized yet. However, if you're using across the water as part of the distinction, I guess our closest would be Kensington Road or Tenth Street. Calgary is a very centralized city, so we likely will never have an absolute equivalent to Broadway. However, the potential for Elbow Drive is quite promising to be an urban street connecting into the suburban south, along the Elbow River.
