Calgary quadrants
Hi Country Wife, I changed the description of what divides Calgary into north and south, based on how streets are named in Openstreetmap and Google Maps. According to those websites, it looks like the Bow River is the dividing line west of Deerfoot Trail, and Centre Ave and Memorial Dr mark the boundary east of Deerfoot Trail. Does this seem right? Openstreetmap gets most of their Canadian data from the government, so it should be right, but I thought I should check with someone who lives in the city to make sure! Thanks. -Shaundd (talk) 21:40, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Shaun! I had a look at a City of Calgary map showing the dividing lines, which is linked on this page: https://data.calgary.ca/OpenData/Pages/DatasetListingAlphabetical.aspx The Bow River is the north-south dividing line west of Deerfoot until the Bow River starts heading north near Shouldice Park / Home Road. Then the boundary jogs south to Sarcee Trail for a bit before settling down onto 16 Ave NW (aka Trans-Canada Hwy, Hwy 1) until it hits the western city limits. In the east, the Bow River is the dividing line until it jogs north along Nose Creek (north of the Calgary Zoo) to connect with Centre Avenue, and then the divider runs along Centre Avenue from Deerfoot until it hits Memorial Drive at 36 St E, then it's Memorial Drive all the way until the city limits. In other words, for the average visitor, your text description is adequate; you could even simplify it further to say that Memorial Drive is the dividing line both east and west, since it runs very close to the river, and visitors probably won't be too concerned with the few discrepancies; also Memorial Drive is often easier to find on a map than the Bow River. If you want to map it the boundaries, though, consult the official City of Calgary map. And thank you again for your contributions! - Country Wife (talk) 22:08, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
