We're developing dedicated pathway and bikeway routes in Ward 9 (Marlborough Park, Penbrooke Meadows, Forest Heights, Forest Lawn, Dover, Erin Woods and Eastfield) aligning with Calgary's established Pathway and Bikeway Network. The proposed routes will aim to connect residential, recreation, shopping, education and work destinations. When the routes are improved, they will provide safe, healthy, and affordable travel choices for people of all ages and all abilities, year-round.

High traffic safety incidents and connecting nearby amenities are the two main reasons we are investing in pathways and bikeways in these neighbourhoods. Calgary data shows that this area experienced higher numbers of injury collisions between 2017 and 2021. Designing safer streets and addressing missing connections will allow a safe and comfortable choice for everyone when exploring their neighbourhood.

Phase 1- Discover: is now complete. Public input from this phase is being considered alongside factors such as cost, environmental impact, technical limitations, and long-range plans to inform design options that will be presented in Phase 2- Explore coming in Winter 2025.

At the conclusion of each engagement phase, a What We Heard report summarizing feedback will be produced and made available at engage.calgary.ca/ward9connections. You can read the Phase 1 Discover: What We Heard Report here.
