BRIDGELAND ACTIVE MODES IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT || REQUEST FOR INPUT
The communities of Bridgeland-Riverside have been experiencing population growth from a number of new multi-storey residential and commercial developments over the past ten years. Investing in improving infrastructure provides capacity to support growth and change in these communities. Through past public engagement in Bridgeland, including the 1 Avenue N.E. Streetscape Master Plan Project, we've heard some comments on issues and opportunities relating to mobility in the community.
In this project, we’re exploring improvements to walking and wheeling (bike, scooter, skateboard) connections around the Bridgeland LRT Station, along 9 Street N.E. and McDougall Road so that people have better access to destinations within the community and to the LRT station. These improvements could include:
Improved east-west connectivity with a better experience for those walking and wheeling along McDougall Road from 6 Street N.E. to 12 Street N.E.
Improved north-south connectivity for those walking and wheeling along 9th Street from the station to the residential developments and to the new business along 1 Avenue N.E.
Improvements to provide better and safer access to the LRT station
PROVIDE YOUR INPUT
Based on the feedback received in the previous round of engagement, there was support to further improve the proposed active mode facilities on McDougall Road and explore options that reallocate the road right of way. The feedback also indicated that maintaining parking isn’t as important as improving accommodations for pedestrians and wheeling users and maintaining green space.
Engagement can be shared on the City of Calgary Website and is open for feedback until February 28, 2022.
