Calgary’s downtown is dense with 20 and 30-story buildings, holding 50% of all Calgary jobs. Parking is expensive, upwards of $20 per day. A new planning concept, the downtown PRT circulator, offers many unique benefits:
- enhances the existing LRT system
- re-connects a city split by railroad tracks
- stretches downtown to encompass the Eau Claire area and new pedestrian bridges.
- for PRT near Chinatown, architectural flourishes (red columns, gold accents) will reinforce local design
