Phase 1 Engagement

Thank you for participating! Phase 1 engagement is now closed.

A What We Heard Report will be published in the coming weeks.


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

No traffic circle on 14 Av and 20 St with plantings. They are never well maintained. 14 Av is too narrow for bike lanes or wheelie lanes.

No to 27+ storey buildings. More residences mean more parking and better road access needed. Bike lanes in Lions Gate Park only.

Bike lanes on the 14 Street NW are not justified. We counted week after week the number of bike riders - there were 3 to 4 or none at all

Pls do not build a traffic circle on 14 Ave NW and 20 Str NW as it has a cul-de-sac there and this intersect is the only evacuation route

We drive 20th Ave daily and highly recommend repair to road conditions between 14 st to centre Street should be a priority!

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.
