Phase 2: MNP Access Strategy
Beginning on May 17 through June 7, 2024, the City of Calgary will be collecting feedback on Phase 2 of the MNP Access Strategy. This project aims to explore improvements to area walking, wheeling, and transit connections to the MNP Community & Sport Centre from surrounding destinations.
Through the online engage portal, residents can share their priority ranking of a number of short- and long-term improvements pertaining to mobility and safety that were identified during Phase 1 outreach.
There are several proposed active-modes/bikeway enhancements that could positively impact Ward 9. Please take a moment to share your feedback, and ensure safe and improved connectivity for East Calgary.
For those unable to submit feedback through the online portal, you are welcome to call 311 to have a member of the project team reach out to you directly.
Additionally, the project team will hosting two community pop-up events at the main entrance of the MNP Community & Sport Centre (2225 Macleod Trail S.E.) to answer questions and hear resident feedback. Stop by and say hello-
Saturday, May 25th: 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Thursday, May 30th: 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The MNP Community & Sport Centre, situated in Calgary's Lindsay Park, serves as a vital hub for high-performance athletes and community users. The MNP Centre is expanding and will become the main Aquatic Recreation Facility for downtown and we want to ensure that the facility is accessible and welcoming for all. The City is committed to providing safe travel choices, especially to regional recreation facilities. Learning from Calgarians will help us understand any travel barriers that make it hard to walk, bike or choose transit to reach MNP.
This engagement will help our project team understand challenges and potential solutions to better welcome visitors to MNP Community & Sport Centre (MNP). The plan will also fulfill The City’s commitment to the community to thoroughly review the area transportation network and collaborate on improvements. The final strategy will be used a roadmap for future investment that connects with the feedback we receive.
