Current Engagement
About the Project
We are rebuilding 14 Avenue N.W. and have
the chance to build it better. Local knowledge, diverse ideas and updated
technical analysis will help us improve travel and accessibility along 14
Avenue N.W., between 24 Street and 14 Street, for everyone. A well connected 14
Avenue N.W. will make it easier for Calgarians and residents to reach
destinations such as the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, SAIT, Alberta
University of the Arts, Lions Park LRT and North Hill Shopping Centre. The project
will consider safety for each travel mode, so we can support different people
reaching different destinations and have greater access to healthy and
affordable choices. This investment in infrastructure will bring 14 Avenue N.W.
back to a state of good repair and better support changes in the ways
Calgarians tell us they like to travel.
Project Background
14 Avenue N.W. was identified for road rehabilitation in 2021 and is now part of the Major Road Reconstruction Program to address aging infrastructure, improve safety, and enhance accessibility for all users. The project was deferred in 2022 due to funding and a need to conduct further engagement with the community to align the design with community needs and aspirations.
This provides an opportunity to build on the feedback we have already received from the community (2021 What We Heard Report) and continue exploring ideas to improve the existing infrastructure along and across the corridor.
Reconstruction of 14 Avenue N.W. is anticipated to include:
- Roadway repairs (subsurface repairs, utilities, curbs and gutters, paving)
- Local and network active mode improvements (e.g. sidewalks and pathways)
- Transit stops and circulation
- Travel, turning and parking lane adjustments
- Street amenities and trees (lighting, benches, and decorative touches)
- Roadway and intersection design improvements

The bike lane is unnecessary; the roads and sidewalks should be renewed. Parking supports businesses and provides convenience to residents.

Tell the city to do its job and take care of the sidewalks and crosswalks, especially in the winter.

Do not allow any parking on 14 Ave on either side of the street b/t 19 St & 24 St. The road is too narrow & parking inhibits 2 way traffic.

Many pedestrians cross at the uncontrolled intersection between 14th St and 21st Ave for Leroux Studios. The crosswalk is vital, but unsafe.

140 characters prevents you saying anything, let alone saying it coherently. Jeepers, you people!

Car exits from Louise Riley & shopping mall are so close together that it's quite difficult & dangerous for cars & especially pedestrians.

Why not focus wheeling infrastructure on road along 16 Ave sound wall. This road could be closed off to traffic except for garbage trucks.

2021 Engagement
Prior to the project's deferment, public engagement was conducted in 2021 to inform the 14 Avenue N.W. mobility improvements. Community feedback identified several key themes:
- Pathway safety and accessibility: Improving lighting and creating safer connections along the pathway.
- Traffic and congestion concerns: Addressing congestion at 19 Street N.W. and its impact on access to local commercial areas.
- Balancing parking and community needs: Ensuring parking availability supports the community’s broader needs and priorities.
- Long-term pathway connections: Clarifying plans for future pathway linkages, including connections to 16 Avenue North.
- Pedestrian access and crossings: Making it easier to cross the street to key destinations like the library and North Hill Mall.
- Future of infrastructure: Determining the plans for the pedestrian bridge over Crowchild Trail.
Additional engagement is being conducted this year to build on the feedback we received in 2021 and to continue exploring ideas to improve the existing infrastructure along and across the corridor.
