Team
Two proposed a similar alignment to that of Team One. This
plan detail and the perspective below shows how the rail line,
centrally placed within the right-of-way, allows more of a
seamless integration with other modes of travel than would
be possible were there a grade separation at the intersection.
The narrow, streamlined station still allows for three
lanes of traffic on either side, with lanes closest to the
sidewalk providing parking during non-peak periods. The station
connects northward to Buchanan Street via a covered walkway
and southward to the residential community and the Still Creek
corridor via a tree-lined local street.

The
street section below illustrates Team Two’s concept for the
Lougheed Highway right-of-way. The surface plane of the street
is left undisturbed by the presence of the rail tracks, allowing
pedestrians to move safely and comfortably from one side of
the street to the other. Each side of the right-of-way includes
the following elements: a wide pedestrian sidewalk; an extra
wide curb parking lane that doubles as a travel lane during
peak periods and allows room for bikes; two travel lanes designed
to minimum standards; and a central median transit stop. The
streamlined station is connected to Buchanan Street via a
covered walkway.
