Cochrane Ranche: While the best-known part of Cochrane Ranche might be the statue, there’s no need to climb all the way up that hill. Check out the picturesque Bighill Creek instead: the walk from the parking lot to the bridge and back runs about a half kilometre.
There are a handful of factors that make downtown a magnet for e-scooter trips, Demissie explained.
Because of the population density, transportation choice and connectivity that s been built in the core, people looking to get to work, or to spend some time by the Bow River Pathway, can easily grab an e-scooter and go.
The city has also put a lot of investment into making the core connected for walkers and wheelers with projects like the downtown protected cycle track and the LRT infrastructure built up over time.
Right now, Demissie believes scooter users in Calgary are early adopters. As the technology settles into the city, it may well become part of more people s daily lives.
