    Woodbine is 20km from Bow. You would need to travel 120km/h the entire time to reach it in 10min.
    I’m not going to post my actual speed

    But it’s more like 14km… well from 24th and Anderson to bow/crowchild… not exactly where I am, I’m 16kms but also don’t take 24th so it saves me a light

    It’s a lot easier to embrace this than to fight it, you don’t need to live in 50s bungalows to afford living 10min to DT! Come, enjoy large lots and 2 story homes with attached garages, great deals to be had if you fucking LOVE oak trim


    Edit: I’m kind of offended ya’ll don’t think I can shave 3min off a google maps est. time

    …yes I have to also get through the community, but one less light than this is a wash

    There are already houses on top of that hill which is Cranston and a walking path right along the edge so no development will happen behind him because you couldn't build on that steep hill. I know you were speaking in general terms, but the middle of Riverstone facing NE will stay that way. The east side faces HWY2 which would be loud as shit but the south side with the McMansions a great river and tree view with a golf course across the river. West side has Fish Creek so you can't develop further that way either. So besides the guys by the highway I'd say Riverstone is pretty much set for views
    Wait, I wasn't really looking. I Riverstone that community that's built in the bottom of the river valley right by the river?

    To bow? Yup, yup… done it many times

    I don’t know why you find this so outrageous… compared to @rage2 ‘s DT times
    I’ve done downtown staples to woodbine Safeway in 7 mins. That required speeds of 250kmh+ and stopping for 2 lights.

    My Arbour Lake to downtown times weren’t as extreme in speeds. I posted screen captures of the average speed and distance. Think my record was 12 mins? Gotta dig up that post. Average is around 15-18 mins depending on lights.

    Pre, or post ring road completion? With those speeds and ring road I would suspect a little quicker… unless you lost some time just turning onto bow? Few lights in that direction to get west bound if memory serves?

    The moral of the story is this city is built to travel N/S… not E/W. google has a 1min faster time from aspen landing to bow as 24/Anderson to bow… 5km difference in routes too

    Puzzling to me that people measure times between major intersections and not actual start and end points. If that's the case then I'm 3 minutes from downtown at 80 km/h.

    I mean it’s rare, hitting every single green perfectly, and cruising at 110 on Crowchild.

    This was in the 90's when I was a reckless kid. What ring road? Not even sure how ring road could improve that, it adds a huge amount of distance compared to the normal route.

    Route was 11th street -> 6th Ave/Bow Trail -> Crowchild -> Glenmore -> 14 St -> Anderson -> 24 St.

    It's 16.8km on Google maps, to hit 10 mins you'd have to average 101km/h, so no red lights, and driving at 160 in the fast stretches? Certainly doable.

    My 7 min had an average speed of 144km/h, which is insane to me today lol.

    Not if you live on the SW corner of Woodbine just off 130th. Hop on Stoney > Anderson probably quicker than going through the community.

    Moot point since the measure is from 24/Anderson to (Not Quite) Downtown haha.

    Yeah, ring road adds some distance, but allows for sustained high speed all the way from the last light on 6th/bow till the intersection where the husky use to be in woodbine. Your average would be impressive based on your top speed haha.

    I’ve done it a few times where I’m coming down glenmore and drive right past 14th st… at more sane speeds it’s about a wash in moderate traffic

    Some day the population will see this for what it is: a transfer of wealth from the common folk to the "rich".

    One of the better streets in Riverstone, backs onto the hill/park. Long way above the floodplain, much higher than you might think.
    Nice house and location. That space is designated MR, it isn't getting developed... ever.
