1604 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Quote Project update - October 18, 2017 Construction is well underway on the new Stoney Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Storage and Transit Facility in north-central Calgary. Construction is also taking place on three surrounding roadways. This massive facility is quickly taking shape as the walls and roof are being constructed. Once the building shell is completed, work on the inside will continue throughout the winter months. The new facility is located in the Stoney Industrial Area at 12620 – 15 Street N.E. and is anticipated to be completed by early 2019. Some construction pictures have been added too. http://www.calgary.ca/Transportation/TI/Pages/Transit-projects/Stoney-CNG-Transit-Bus-Garage.aspx 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Wow. Naming rights for a transit garage? It's not like it's an arena or something. Hell, I'd understand naming rights to a C Train station, but a bus garage!? Granted, it's only an expression of interest, so I guess if there's no interest, or if the interested parties aren't willing to pay enough to make it worthwhile then I guess no naming.

CTrainDude Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Guessing the only ones that would really have something to promote would be natural gas companies with the CNG garage. Maybe CT is hoping to get some cheap fuel in exchange for naming rights? Paging ATCO.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Spotted what looked like four or five Nova CNGs parked just outside of the garage today while passing by on Stoney Trail! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake M Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I saw an XN40 and 8204 headed northbound on Deerfoot, both not on the tracker, I assume they're headed for the Stoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTrainDude Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I’d be surprised if there’s any sort of open house for this (or any) bus garage in the foreseeable future. The reality is, outside of people that frequent boards like this, there wouldn’t be much appeal for the general public to go see a bus garage and shop - the CNG part is good to talk about, but in real life, it’s just a few extra gas pumps. It’s just a bunch of buses parked in lines, a mechanic shop like most others, and an attached vanilla admin space. The open houses at OBMF get a few more people because the CTrain adds an extra wrinkle, but honestly aren’t all that well attended. It’s mainly employees that bring their families.
