Kincora/Evanston etc

[bigbadboss101]

For those of you who are in Kincora, are you planning to stay? I must say I am quite happy with my house. The street I am on is relatively quiet and the house itself is great. The neighbors are decent. I do notice in the last 2 years traffic on Symons Valley has become much busier. People in Evanston, Sage Hill etc added a lot to the traffic. I don’t know what the situation is when it comes to another way out to get onto Deerfoot but I find traffic after 6:30 am on work days is now heavier than I liked. I am considering moving somewhere more inner city.

[G]

Sunnyside will be perfect for you as they are trying to get rid of the cars altogether.

[NoMoreG35]

Yeah I hate Symons Valley Road. What the hell is with 5 T intersections in a row?!

[schocker]

I live in sage hill, so I rarely take symons valley, but I absolutely hate it when I do :D
Just leave earlier or later if you like the neighborhood I suppose

[Kloubek]

I really like Kincora. Traffic is indeed building up in the mornings. Sometimes I leave at 7:45 instead of my usual 8:00, but end up getting to work around the same time due to a strange increase of traffic around that time.

With the building of a bunch of townhouses on the backside of Kincora and the increase of homes around the Evanston area, it can only get worse from here.

[bigbadboss101]

I try to leave the house around 6:15. 15-20 later it's quite different. Some of my colleagues in Beddington leave closer to 7 ish. I don't think I can stand 7:15 am traffic getting off the Beddington ramp onto Deerfoot. I work in SE now so I do drive. Soon we are to move to DT office so I can drive to the bus loop in Panarama and catch the express, or drive to Centre St and catch a bus. I am contemplating between doing that vs moving to say Tuxedo, Capitol Hill, Mt. Pleasant, Highland Park, etc.

I do the drive to center and take the 64 everyday. I really hate taking the bus and I've been spoiled since I've started working but I'm slowly getting used to it.

If you want you can take a way through nolan/sage hill that will get you to beacon pretty fast. From there you can head down crowchild!

I was here when bow trail ended at 69 street. Anything west of 69 was farmland.

[mrsingh]

I live in Kincora and fully agree on the increase in traffic, I am really getting sick of Symons Valley Road in the mornings. It is bumper-to-bumper until past Hidden Valley then slows down again at Berkshire. If you you try to get onto Stoney instead after 7am forget it, there are usually a truck hogging each turn lane, which then have to merge onto the highway at 40km/h.

Apparently, 14 St will get built into Evanston, I do not know the timeframe but we need another exit out of here fast!

I live right by the 78th loop. Why are you limiting yourself to 64?
There's 62 Hidden Valley, 142 Pano, 301. If all else fails there's still the 2,3,4,5 that all go downtown (more stops).
Most days I get lazy and wait until there's a bus with a seat on it =)

[Canucks3322]

Question for those bus stops where u guys parking? Just random peoples houses?

[mrsingh]

Drive to the sandstone park and ride. Cross the street and take the 64 from there. That is the route I took when working downtown.

[Sorath]

traffic build up in the morning is a gongshow. it only really got really busy to me starting 3 months ago, not sure what happened.

[bigbadboss101]

We haven't moved DT for work yet. When that happens I can either park at Sandstone, at Pano by the theatre, or on Centre St by the Huntington Hills Comm Centre.

Yes around April it got busy, not just Symons Valley/Beddington but in general.
I really like the house and hate packing and moving. Going to discuss with the fiance if it's feasible to move to inner city.

[schocker]

One thing, shaghanappi is almost open from 144th to stoney, so that should move a lot of traffic off of symons valley road, especially the dump trucks from the quarries

Its been almost open for a while now, anyone know when that is exaclty?

Hoping it'll be done this year.. Going to move to Noland Hill in Dec and symons valley road is a pain.

[taemo]

Kincora looks great and we were initially looking for houses there or Evanston but yeah all those sets of lights (at least 4 iirc to get to Stoney then another 4 to Beddington/Deerfoot)
that would drive me bonkers so my fiance and I went East to Skyview

[Kloubek]

We didn't know anything about Skyview until after our build started. It's quite nice, and there is the (much) added advantage of the C-train as well. Disadvantage: It'll become the ghetto far too soon.

[bigbadboss101]

Trying to envision what traffic will be like a year and 3 years from now. Regardless the drive on Deerfoot will be bad anyways. I have been looking at places in the North side near the #3 and #2 bus routes. Prices are high for the house you get but you are closer to the bus, park, and some good stores. Hmmm going to discuss further with fiancé and shop around.

Pretty soon apparently. In the next couple of months is what I've been told. We were looking at the trinity townhomes near shaganappi and that's what the developer told us.

[cgyITguy]

I really like Kincora as a community, been here 4 years now. Was really hoping that Shagannappi would be built to connect into the back end but that didn't happen. Traffic has increased quite a bit in recent years but if that is the worst part, Im ok with that

#2, Huntington is quite old. There are probably some reno'd units but you are looking at minimum of 30 year old homes.

#3 is slightly better, there are some newer/bigger homes in Sandstone but not many units comes up for sale.

[bigbadboss101]

I lived in Sandstone for 12 years. I like the area. Considering the feasibilty of Mt. Pleasant around 4th Street and 24-30 Ave, or Tuxedo slightly East.

Currently, you can go sarcee down past costco and it connects on some random road to nolan hill drive (Continues towards shaghanappi which is connected to 144 to nolan hill drive) so you are OK regardless there. From sage hill for example I can get to costco in about 3 minutes, crowfoot in about 8-10.

Me neighbor checked with the city and it was June 1 but that is obviously not correct anymore. It was the section from sage hill to sherwood, developer needs to install street lights. You can see it is all paved and ready to open already.

[doomdealer]

The majority of the traffic congestion seems to be from those pesky dump truck convoys.

They tend to travel in packs of 2 or more and often take up both the left AND right lanes while driving side-by-side. I have no clue why they do this except to purposely block commuter traffic during rush hour.

Then you have that stupid stretch of Symons Valley Road from Evanston to Stoney where there are 4 traffic lights within a 1.1 km span. While I understand the purpose of having those lights, they need to be better synchronized (especially with those slow-moving dump trucks hogging both lanes).

After that, you have to then deal with the dump trucks spewing their loads on the road. Just this past weekend some dump truck spewed a crap ton of gravel on the Stoney Trail overpass. It all makes for such an exciting drive.

[schocker]

^^ That is the good part of sage hill, the only time I go on symons valley road is to go to the gym. Otherwise I go behind costco and get to stoney that way.

[hampstor]

There's lots of new homes going up there. You've got Nolan building up next to Sage as well as the growth from Evanston.

Additionally, off of Kincora Glen Road, they'll be adding another ~1000 condo units over 3-4 complexes (IIRC Kincora currently has about a total of 2000 homes). The primary access for these will be KGR as well as directly off of Shaginappi.

Shag is supposed to open really soon (I had heard June/July timeframe) so I think that'll help with the traffic a fair amount.

[Kloubek]

^^^ 1000?!? I know about the adult condo complex at the end and the townhouses currently being built, but I didn't know the plan was 1000 units total. That's nuts.

And everything I've read doesn't indicate an access to Kincora from Shag..... do you have solid information that there will be?

Calgary city map doesn't show any connection
http://www.calgary.ca/_layouts/cocis/calgarymap/calgarymap.aspx
I thought for sure it would connect as sherwood I think connects at two points.

The only thing I don't like about nolan hill is portion across the gully from the dump.

Yeah it's pretty nutty. I just saw the land development/usage map a few weeks ago and saw the max density numbers. I should've clarified that "up-to 1000 units" but could be less. One of the condo conplexes is supposed to be a TOD with commercial and that one alone has a max of ~400 units.

The road from Shag into Kincora only goes into a few of the condos directly but doesn't go right into KGR as there will be a bus trap. There'll be additional access off of 37th to a road (whos name i can't recall) which runs from Symons Valley Road upto Shag.

[Kloubek]

Well given the map that Schocker linked to, it looks like there will be an entrance right after the two not-yet-created sections on the North side of Shag, which is where I presume the bus trap you speak of will be.

I do see now that extension to 37th which should then turn West and then onto Shag. Seems a little round-about, but at least it looks like it will be in place eventually.

[bigbadboss101]

Today at around 4:45 pm I was heading South. There were a few trucks on Symons Valley and 3 of them were waiting to turn onto Stoney E. They took up both lanes of course. Then 3 trucks were going straight taking up both lane! After Stoney I noticed another truck trying to pass everyone using the merge lane that came from Stoney onto Beddington Trail. I was going WTF why the heck do you need to get in front of everyone? These truck drivers are inconsiderate. Saving themselves 30 seconds but slowing down everyone behind them buy minutes each.

[OU812]

you guys should seriously start phoneing this shit in to your alderman/mla/311/police whatever to do something about these trucks it sounds like a nightmare

[mrsingh]

The trucks side by side are a nightmare,I was not exaggerating about being stuck behind them and being forced to merge onto Stoney at 50km/h. One of the most frustrating things about driving on the road for sure.

Shaghanappi is only a few weeks away though!! (I think :nut: )
I have seen workers in the distance every day on it working.

[schocker]

Shaghanappi is possibly open between stoney trail and 144th avenuve. though it might be a single lane if it is in fact open between kincora and sage hill Probably not open though

Don't tell people though so they stay off if it is actually open :rofl:

This has become the biggest pissoff lately. I've been in Kincora for 4 years now and the trucks have always been courteous. In the last 6 months or so this has changed completely. The trucks take up both lanes and pace each other. They do the same thing in the turn lane onto stoney east. It's definitely intentional.

A couple weeks ago one of the trucks forced me onto the median at the dual turn onto stoney east. He made an illegal lane change across the solid line and would've side swiped me. Of course there was a truck in front of him too, so naturally he needed to block the other lane. :rolleyes:

[Canucks3322]

Just moved into Evansridge a month ago...I've chosen to drive to work downtown and leaving my house at 6:40am, I get to parking space in Bridgeland in 25 minutes, I leave that space at 4:15pm and get home in a half hour taking memorial to 10st to 14st to Country Hills back up to Symons (shaved 15min off my travel time than if I took Edmonton Trail to Mcknight to Centre back over to Beddington trail).....overall the travel is roughly the same as when I used to bus it from Signal Hill....guess I go to work and leave at good times, hopefully, knock on wood, the traffic stays the same at those times when school starts up.

Haven't encountered any problems with dump trucks, maybe it's more by Shag area?? But I DO have to deal with fucking morons slowing down in the middle of the road in my neighbourhood today to look at houses and lots....found out exactly how wimpy my Mazda 3 horn sounds today.

[Ven]

The trucks are the reason I didn't move there (Kincora, Evanston, Nolan Hill). I talked with the Alderman for that area and his position was nothing will change in the foreseeable future. The gravel pits in the area were there before the residential developments and those are the roads the trucks are required to take to get access to Stoney. He said over 80% of all aggregates for Calgary and surrounding come from that area. I mentioned some other possible nearby routes for the trucks, which he knew about, and said they are not approved or designed for heavy truck travel. In addition to being controlled by the county, and the county has no interest in sinking money into those roads to modify them for truck travel.

My personal views from my own experiences in the aggregate hauling industry regarding the quality of operators and safety of equipment are not wholly positive. Not to paint them all with the same brush either, some are just fine.

[dezmarez]

It seems to me the truck traffic isn't as bad on Symons Valley this week. Anyone else noticing?

I was going to say!
I took the scenic way back from Smashburger in Royal Oak, and saw that a lot of the trucks were headed up to that new road some members were trying to keep a secret.

[fajita123]

Shag is also open to 144th. Noticed some trucks starting to take it this week. The more the better!

[Transp0rt3r]

I live at Sage hill, right by the Shag extension and definitely noticed a lot more trucks travelling that way. Those awful manholes though! One day I'll leave oil pan on that stretch between 144th and Sherwood!!

[403ep3]

So much for a secret...:poosie:

Coming from Sage hill and turning left onto Shag there is that stupid dip in the road. I forget sometimes and my car took a beating :banghead:

If you are talking about the building along 128 Ave I think it is a Buffalo Wings restaurant. I saw the plans at my work, and am pretty sure that is what it is.

[403ep3]

Awesome, if true. Could use another wing place and I have a feeling it will do well as long as the food and prices are half decent.

[cornelius85]

Yeah should be good. I know in the new development we are getting another pub which will be nice to have another option to stumble home from. Will be nice when we have some more businesses come in. I can't believe that Rona has been empty all this time.

I think I've left my oil pan on that stretch already. Luckily, in Sage Hill, all the roads are getting re-paved and should be done soon. Those manholes are harder to see at night :banghead:

I will believe it when I see it =D, they been talking about that place since 2008.

However, Gates of Nolan Hill Is supposed to be done in 2015.

Located in the new community of Nolan Hill in NorthWest Calgary, the Gates of Nolan Hill will be a 90,000 square foot grocery anchored shopping centre. The Gates of Nolan Hill will service the immediate residents of Nolan Hill (10,000 people at build out). The site is located along Shaganappi Trail and in addition to the residents of Nolan Hill, the shopping centre will offer easy and convenient access to the residents of Sherwood, Sage Hill and Kincora (25,000 people at build out). Currently in the permit process stage and expected completion is in 2015.

Nothing like someone in Canada telling you to "go back to your country".

EVERYONE HERE is within a couple generations of being immigrants, and just because you're white doesn't mean you somehow don't count.

Well of course not. I just mean that if you're going to have that attitude, stick to an area of the city like Westhills which has a higher than average proportion of white people so you don't get dazzled by the colour variety in other more "tolerant" neighborhoods.

Whatever. Let's stop this offshoot of the thread, since it was already posted in its own individual thread now.

Where did you move to?
The shopping center/walmart is out my culdesac to the right and at the end of that short road where the massive dirt area is. Sage hill crossing I believe is further into the corner where the farms are. There was also supposed to be commercial up 144th along that road closer though to nolan hill

edit you can kind of get an idea of this by looking in the area on this map

There is 4 developments that I know of, quick colored in picture from google maps.

1) is the Sage Hill Crossing, the big blue area south of sage valley blvd. This part is owned by Genesis

The green part is where Loblaws and Walmart will be.

2) Gates of Nolan Hill, the red area by the traffic circle

3) Yellow area is supposed to be like a Safeway or something, I don't remember where I heard that info.

Found some info on google.

4) last one is sage hill farm, not sure where this one is exactly or if it will ever be built.

You think home prices will rise or will they drop because people will find it too congested?

I thought sage hill farms would be south of the blue closer to sage valley drive but it looks like the blue extends pretty far south so not sure where it is now :confused:

It is possible its part of that complex, that whole blue stuff was owned by genesis, the south part was sold to riocan, I should have coloured that differently. Also found more info on that yellow area.

Good work with the extra info. I thought the farms was going ahead as it was last year that they put up those signs advertising it along sage hill drive. Still haven't called 311 again to find out wtf is going on with that road. :banghead:

Trico will have a new condo complex along Sage Hill Drive, perhaps that and the walmart/loblaws development is what made the city upgrade that road?? I researched a bunch of this stuff when I was looking at places to live before settling on Nolan Hill.

Well I know there are those condos going along side going north where they were flattening out the ground. That road is always closed, such a PITA. Takes way longer to get to the gym! :rofl:
The road at the corner though connects into the blue area towards that traffic circle I believe. I researched a bunch before I move and it still took until now for shaghanappi and sarcee and buses took until last year :nut:

I don't think it will be a Safeway as Sobey's bought them out. I'm in the process of building the new Sobey's in Evanston so another store that close won't happen.

At least they finished shaghanappi... I'm still waiting for the 14th street overpass to be completed so I can actually get on stoney westbound which was supposed to be completed in fall 2011 :banghead:

Maybe someday :rofl:
I waited forever for shag as I thought it would be faster but sarcee is still faster to crowfoot.
