Calgary Street Car

[evolv]

I thought I would start a thread regarding the Calgary Street Car that is currently undergoing a small and vague study according to the herald. The study is due in early 2014 and next step would be a more detailed study.

I live in the Beltline and would be a big fan of this project as I think it would help knit the community together. I don't think buses can do this; not exactly sure why but my guess is it has a lot to do with the public's perception of the bus.

I envision one day there being 4 lines:

17th Ave Line - Running from Westbrook to Stampede (mentioned in CH article as being considered)

4th St Line - Running from Eau Claire to Elbow Drive (also mentioned in CH article as being considered)

14th St W/Marda Line - Running from near SAIT to 33 St SW to Marda Loop

Kensington Rd Line - Running from 10th St to 19th St NW

Other thoughts? Pipe dream?
