This is the official website for Gian-Carlo Carra, City Councillor for Ward 9 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
We are excited to share that the Dover Neighbourhoods Streets project received $1.3 million in funding from the Government of Canada’s Active Transportation Fund.
This means that we will be able to move forward with more active transportation and traffic calming improvements in the community. These improvements will help safely connect residents of all ages and abilities to the Bow River pathway, shops, schools and more.

The Dover Neighbourhood Streets Project is helping create streets where everyone can move safely and comfortably, whether you are walking or wheeling.
This summer, we are moving forward with improvements along 34th Avenue SE in the Dover community.
This work will be done in two phases:
Phase 1 will repurpose the north side of the corridor for new wheeling lanes, using a combination of permanent and temporary materials, and planting native grasses and flowers in the new boulevard spaces and existing median.
Phase 2 will replace any temporary materials with permanent materials and add new signals at the intersection of 34 Avenue S.E. and 36 Street S.E., once funding is secured.
Construction is anticipated to begin mid-July and be completed by the end of 2022. We appreciate your patience while crews are working in the area. We know that construction impacts can be disruptive, and we will work to mitigate impacts as best we can.
34 Avenue S.E. will remain open during construction; however, there will be temporary lane closures while crews are working. While construction is underway, you can expect:
An increase in on-site construction activity, along with noise, dust and vibration.
Sidewalk detours will ensure pedestrians and cyclists can still travel safely through the area.
While we don't expect any utility shut-downs, you will be notified if the need arises.
Temporary transit stop relocations.
To learn more about the project, see maps of the improvement areas, and for the most up-to-date information during the construction season, please visit calgary.ca/DoverStreets. You can also sign up for our electronic newsletter that will keep you updated as the project moves ahead.
If you have any questions, contact neighbourhoodstreets@calgary.ca.
Communities change and evolve over time. Conversations about where, why, and how revitalization and redevelopment should happen are essential to ensure our communities change in the right ways.
Through the local area planning process, we’ll work together to create a future vision for how land could be used and redeveloped in the area.
