Editing Transit-oriented development (section)

=====Calgary, Alberta=====
Calgary's Transit Oriented Development (TOD) has been evolving largely around stations along Calgary's Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, also known as the [[CTrain]] network. Although Calgary's CTrain system has been around since 1981, TOD activity has been fairly recent, with much of development taking place since 2010. Most of the transit oriented development has taken place along the LRT system's [[Red Line (CTrain)|Red Line]] especially around stations of the northwest leg with areas around stations at Brentwood, Dalhousie, and Banff Trail having seen the most development. [[Brentwood station (Calgary)|Brentwood Station]] for example, with multi-building developments such as University City, has seen almost 900 residential units<ref>{{cite web|url=https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/database/projects/university-city |title=University City |publisher=Calgary.skyrisecities.com |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/database/projects/brio |title=Brio |publisher=Calgary.skyrisecities.com |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref> built in the last eight years within the 600m radius of Brentwood station, as well as proposed developments that are in the works. On the south leg of the Red Line the massive Midtown Station proposal is a reversal from previous TOD builds where development is built around existing stations. In the case of Midtown Station,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/midtown-station-multiple-buildings-ibi-group-midtown-station.31616/ |title=Midtown Station |date=September 28, 2020 |publisher=Calgary.skyrisecities.com |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref> the proposal is along the CTrain line, but includes building a new station solely for the purpose of serving the development.

For The City of Calgary, TOD's are an ongoing process, but the city has published policy guidelines and implementation strategies for Transit Oriented Development.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/pda/pd/documents/transit-oriented-development/tod-implentation-strategy.pdf |title=Transit Oriented Development Implementation Strategy |publisher=City of Calgary |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/pda/pd/documents/transit-oriented-development/tod-policy-guidelines.pdf |title=Transit Oriented Development Policy Guidelines |publisher=City of Calgary |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref>
