Calgary Plus 15 Walk - Pedestrian bridge between Bow Valley College and Calgary Municipal Complex
When the weather isn't great, I'll sometimes use Calgary's excellent raised walkway system (AKA Plus 15 System) as a workout replacement for walking in one of the parks. Although I didn't measure this with a GPS, the route I walked today was about 8 km's. I park in Chinatown, as there is free parking on the streets there, until 9 a.m. The images portray only a fragment of this system, and there are many other interesting buildings and sights.
Calgary has about 18 kilometers and counting of these raised walkways with 63 bridges (more being added yearly with new construction). This makes Calgary’s plus 15 system the largest of its kind in the world according to the City of Calgary.
