East Elbow River Pathway Functional Planning Study

Have your say on the East Elbow River Pathway Functional Planning Study.

From now until November 15, 2023, residents of Inglewood and Ramsay, as well as all Calgarians who use the pathways near these areas are encouraged to share their thoughts on the initial concept design and identify what features could be added. View the online survey here..

The City of Calgary is investing in one of Calgary's oldest neighbourhoods to keep it safe, beautiful, and vibrant. With the recent completion of the new 9 Avenue S.E. bridge and updates to the CPKC Rail bridge and tracks, plus the future installation of the Green Line LRT bridge, we are looking to potentially improve and expand the pathway on the east side of the Elbow River between the Bow River and the McDonald Bridge, including underneath the 9 Avenue S.E. bridge. Improving this pathway would improve accessibility and connectivity for all Calgarians between the communities of Inglewood and Ramsay, the future LRT station, the River Walk and other connecting pathways, and surrounding amenities.

The map (below) identifies the location of the existing pathways on the east side of the Elbow River. The proposed improvements would include the addition of a new pathway connection underneath the 9 Avenue S.E. bridge.

Currently, we are at the “Explore” stage of engagement for this functional planning study, where we review the design concept with the community and all interested parties, identifying the wants and needs of Calgarians, pathway users, and nearby communities for this rebuilt pathway.
