I have been thinking a lot about how our LRT network could have looked if we embraced our high-floor regional network instead of building a more locally oriented system

This is an incredibly positive story re: housing density in Banff. Personally I don’t think we could ever build enough “gentle density” to make Banff affordable, but still a positive step youtu.be/CstPL88iEnw?...

The BRT town hall on Alberta Ave was really really good!
There were very few people who did not want the BRT, and a lot of discussions about which route was best. I definitely think one is worse and some are better, but it was so much more positive and constructive than other engagements
