Data Project: North-Central LRT Alternatives

Here’s a quick Easter update for the data project. The addition to the files (at the usual place) is an alternative alignment for Calgary’s proposed North-Central LRT alignment. This alternative would take the CTrain underground from the Bow River right up to Beddington Trail while tunneling under Centre Street North. It would also serve as a functional extension of the Southeast LRT which would otherwise end at an Eau Claire subway station.

The route and station locations were largely inspired by work done over on TransitCamp by Peter Schryvers. You can find those articles over on CivicCamp. I will note that I took artistic liberties with the station names and presumed that the line would otherwise follow the Calgary Transit route past Stoney Trail (up to 150th Avenue North).
