Ward 9 Connections: Calgary's Pathway & Bikeway Network (NEW Pop-UP Dates Added)
The City of Calgary is delivering new routes and local improvements to Calgary's Pathway and Bikeway Network to enhance healthy, safe, and accessible travel options in Calgary.
What are we doing?
We're developing dedicated pathway and bikeway routes in Ward 9 (Penbrooke Meadows, Forest Heights, Forest Lawn, Dover, Erin Woods, and Eastfield) aligning with Calgary's established Pathway and Bikeway Network. The proposed routes currently serve residential, recreation, shopping, education, and work destination. When the routes are improved, they will provide safe, healthy, and affordable travel choices for people of all ages and all abilities.
Why are we doing it?
Enhanced mobility safety and connecting nearby amenities are the two main reasons we are investing in pathways and bikeways in these neighbourhoods. Calgary data shows that East Calgary has experienced higher numbers of injury collisions between 2017 and 2021. Designing safer streets and addressing missing connections will allow more mobility choice for everyone when exploring their neighbourhood.
What will we do with your feedback?
In this Phase 1- Discover, your input will provide valuable local perspectives, opinions, and concerns, helping the project team understand the local context and needs of the area. Your input from this phase will be considered alongside factors such as cost, environmental impact, technical limitations, and long-range plans to inform design options that will be presented in Phase 2- Explore.
At the conclusion of each engagement phase, a ‘What We Heard’ report summarizing feedback will be produced and made available at engage.calgary.ca/ward9connections.
