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

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

19th St & 14th Ave traffic light is red for 19th St when CTrain is passing although there is no overlap, green for 14 Ave but most can't go.

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.

Why more engagement... the community was pretty clear last time! Repave only Crow to 19, make improvements 19 to 14.

This mode of providing input as sound bytes on a map is super time consuming and frustrating. It reduces the cance people will get engaged.

I'm very concerned about how bad 24th Ave NW to the north of us looks and operates ever since they put in dedicated, raised bike lanes.

Better crossings between transit stations. Wider sidewalks. Consideration for bicycles. Longer crossing times at traffic lit intersections.

14 Ave west of 19st. I have used all forms of mobility. (walk, bike, car). People should use common sense on how to share the road.

Please prioritize accessible walking (with strollers, walkers, wheel chairs) AND protected bike lanes. It’s currently a horrible walk/ride.

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.
