Bridgeland Main Street End-of-Season Construction Update
The construction Bridgeland Main Street project began in Fall 2023 with operational and streetscape improvements along 1 Avenue between 9A and 11 Street N.E.
The vision for the Bridgeland Main Streets project is to build a streetscape that includes well-designed, quality public realm elements and public space, that prioritize the pedestrian experience and will support ongoing redevelopment and a thriving economic environment. Once complete, it will offer a variety of safe, accessible mobility connections, new community gathering spaces, and a uniquely Bridgeland character.
The key features of Bridgeland Main Streets are:
Prioritize pedestrian safety
Enhanced landscaping for pedestrian comfort
Unique streetscape elements
New opportunities for community gathering
Improved mobility options
Work We Completed This Year
In 2024, we completed the streetscape improvements and infrastructure upgrades: on the north side of 1 Avenue N.E. between 6 Street to 7A Street N.E. and from 8A Street to 11 Street N.E.; also, improvements were made on the south side of 1 Ave NE between 7A Street to 9A Street N.E. Additionally, five intersections along 2 Avenue N.E. were upgraded in 2024 as part of the Bridgeland Main Street project. This included widening sidewalks and upgrading streetlighting to improve pedestrian safety, providing street furniture to enhance pedestrian comfort, beautifying the area with the addition of new naturalized turfs, decorative grasses, and new trees.
Snow Removal
As we move into the winter months and construction activity has wrapped up for the season, residents and businesses are reminded that they are responsible for clearing snow on sidewalks adjacent to their property. More information on this can be found at calgary.ca/snow.
What You Can Expect for 2025
Construction for Main Streets improvements is anticipated to begin again in the Spring of 2025 and will continue through for the entire construction season. We are aiming to have all project construction completed in the Fall/Winter of 2025.
The map below indicates areas where improvements were made in 2023 and 2024, and the planned improvements for 2025.
