Abstract
Calgary, Alberta encompasses approximately 230 kilometres of stream bank along the Bow River, Elbow River, Nose Creek and West Nose Creek. A substantial portion of Calgary’s 800-kilometre pedestrian pathway network is located adjacent to these stream banks. During the catastrophic Southern Alberta flood in June 2013, many stream banks suffered severe erosion causing extensive damage to numerous critical sections of the regional pathway network. Located immediately across from the Calgary Stampede grounds, the Flood Recovery – Stampede Pathway along Elbow River project comprises the south and east banks of the river. This area was eroded and undercut due to high water volumes and velocities, and the resulting damages made the area unsafe for public use, leading to its closure. This scenic and highly-used riverwalk is part of Calgary’s network of pedestrian and cycling pathways that link the city together and provide an important route for commuters and recreational users. Of equal importance in this location is ENMAX Park, which is being transformed into a beautiful new western-themed public space and riverfront gathering place through the work of the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede (CES). This park will link the east and west banks of the Elbow River and provide a scenic oasis for years to come. To restore pathway operation and support the planned growth and development in this area, extensive rehabilitation work was required to protect the stream bank (as well as adjacent public and private infrastructure), abate human safety risks, address potential hydraulic obstruction and morphologic risks, and control impacts on the riparian environment. Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure (Amec Foster Wheeler) was retained by The City of Calgary (The City) to return this site to pre-flood conditions while implementing various resiliency measures to mitigate the impact of future flood events. An additional requirement was to complement area aesthetics. At the site there were five distinct areas where restoration works were required – the Elbow River confluence with the Bow River is located approximately two kilometres downstream of these areas. The repair areas extended from the right angled meander bend where the river turns from an easterly to a northerly direction to the southern extent of the Stampede’s current River Park (approximately 700 lm). In addition to Amec Foster Wheeler serving as the technical lead and Prime Consultant, two specialist consultants were also critical contributors to the project. Carson McCulloch Associates Limited (CMAL) and Tannas Conservation Services Limited (Tannas) were engaged to provide landscape/pathway design and restoration ecology services, respectively. CMAL has a long history of providing landscape architecture expertise and context-sensitive design for The City’s infrastructure projects while Tannas’ qualified agrologists and ecologists were key in selecting plants that would be available to meet the compressed project schedule. This project was nominated for the TAC 2015 Environmental Achievement Award.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
