Our goal is to educate and provide practical options. Call - The Yardist Ltd. Tree & Spray Service - 403-242-3332. As you are reading this, I will likely have welcomed our new addition to our family. Given that the Legislature will not be in session until the Fall, I will be primarily based in Calgary for the summer. I expect to be around the office and at community events during July and August so if you see me out and about with the little one, please come and say hi. in & around calgary My staff and I continue to hear that traffic and speed in our neighbourhoods continues to be a cause of concern. We are all concerned about the safety and security of everyone whether they are walking, biking or in a vehicle. Please ensure that you report traffic concerns to 311 on a consistent basis so that they can be addressed. Stampede Taxi Stands Stampede taxi stands are designated areas near Stampede Park where taxis will be lined-up to wait for customers. Two temporary taxi stands will operate at all hours during Stampede. These stands are located at the South and North entrances of Stampede Park. The taxi stand located at the North entrance of Stampede Park will provide priority service to people with accessibility needs as this entrance provides the most direct route to enter into the park. Late Night Temporary Taxi Stands Within Stampede Park there are multiple entertainment venues. In 2016 all venues are closing at 3 a.m. To accommodate the evening rush two additional late night temporary stands will be established. For details, visit Calgary.ca and search taxi stands.
