Urban living in Calgary is much more private compared to the most countries where the streets are where they eat, drink, shop and play. Consequently the streets are often empty.
I think it also has to do with the lack of pedestrian only zones. No one really likes to spend time beside a busy road with the sounds and stink produced my cars (unless they’re really drunk ofc).
There’s always Stephen Avenue. Or the river pathway. I don’t know if I would fully agree that we don’t have many pedestrian only zones. We have just as many as any other cities our size. Plus a banger pathway system.
