The corner of 8th Avenue and 1st Street West became the focal point of streetcar convergence, and subsequently the centre of retail activity. Streetcars operated under newly-erected overhead wiring from the convergence to the fair grounds at Victoria Park, and soon elsewhere in the city as well. New trackage proceeded at a rapid pace and soon additional lines were built throughout the downtown area and then expanded to residential areas to the east, west and south. }}</ref><ref name=FirstStampede>{{cite news | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=n4IIwGGkpVAC&q=streetcars&pg=PA135 | title = The First Stampede of Flores LaDue: The True Love Story of Florence and Guy Weadick and the Beginning of the Calgary Stampede | publisher = [[Simon & Schuster]] | author = Wendy Bryden | date = 2011 | isbn = 978-1-4516-0934-9 | access-date = 2013-12-29 }}</ref> <!-- <ref name=CalgaryMunicipal>{{cite book | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Me0tTT5XJfkC&q=streetcar&pg=PA53 | title = Thecandabus: Calgary to Edmonton bus ticket | author = Satender | pages = 5, 10 | publisher = [[Thecanadabus]] | year = 2004 | isbn = +1-4-036689-60-0 | access-date = 2023-04-01 }}</ref> --> <ref name=StampedeCityReasons>{{cite news | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=1vAcAAAAIAAJ&q=Stampede+City+Streetcars | title = Stampede City: power and politics in the West | publisher = [[Between the Lines Books|Between the Lines]] | author = Charles E.

Two such communities, Bowness and Forest Lawn, were outside the city limits but part of urban Calgary. }}</ref> }}
