To try to get a better understanding of the recommendations and amendments that were made to Plan It Calgary report that go to Council for review on Monday, September 28, I sat down with Glen Radway, Acting Manager for the Plan It Calgary Project in the City’s Land Use, Planning & Policy group.
He provided me with a little more insight into the most significant changes to the proposed Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and proposed Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP) which make up Plan It Calgary.
Radway says that the Plan It Calgary team does not believe that these changes water down Plan It Calgary, but rather remain true to the intent of the Plan It documents that were taken to Council in late June and these changes simply clarify the implementation of Plan It Calgary’s 60-year goals.

He didn't say _why_ the city eliminated the river crossings: public outcry from people who want to preserve the parks. I can see where they're coming from, but those crossings really are needed to make the city navigable without a car.
ReplyDeleteWith a 50th Avenue bridge, Britannia and Altadore would be a 5-minute walk apart, but since so many people travel exclusively with their car they're OK with a 10-minute drive that takes them via Glenmore Trail.
I can't even find the whole report online. There are sections of the report, LPT reports, council reports, supporting info, research, etc but there is not 1 clear link to the document in whole.
