2016 Calgary's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Program
2016

For current information on this project, click here
The City of Calgary is working to improve mobility choices for all Calgarians. Our goal is to make the entire system work better, including walk, cycle, transit, and auto. One of those choices is improved transit and one way we are doing this is The City's new BRT Program. BRT is a fast, reliable bus service achieved through infrastructure improvements such as dedicated bus lanes and transit priority at traffic signals. BRT is a cost effective approach to providing a high quality transit service at a fraction of the construction cost of LRT. By providing improved transit service without taking away travel lanes for autos we strive to balance all modes through sensitive design while offering competitive choices for Calgarians.

25 Avenue S.E. LRT Grade Separation Study
2017-2018

For current information on this project, click here
The Red Line LRT tracks cross over 25 Avenue S.E. at-grade (street level) east of Macleod Trail. As a result, the traffic signals at this intersection are often interrupted by trains travelling to and from the Erlton LRT station. Grade separation of the LRT tracks will eliminate delays to the traffic signals due to the LRT. Short-term improvements that can be made with little or no construction may be funded through existing City programs. Currently no funding is available for the construction of the final plan. Through the grade-separation plan, The City hopes to improve travel through this area for people driving, walking, cycling and taking transit.

2nd Street Complete Street Project
2018-2019
The City of Calgary is upgrading the existing bikeway along 2 Street S.W between 26 Avenue to 10 Avenue S.W. With more people cycling on this road, an upgraded bikeway will provide a safer, more defined route, while connecting to the river pathway and downtown network. The project will also include traffic calming and safer pedestrian crossings. Some parking changes are anticipated, but those changes will still allow for smooth and predictable traffic flow.

Backyard Suites Guidelines
2018-2019

For current information on this project, click here
On March 12, 2018 City Council approved amendments to the Land Use Bylaw that allow secondary suites as a discretionary use within the R-1, R-C1, and R-C1L land use districts. They also approved adding backyard suites to these districts, but asked City staff to develop standards relating to the design of backyard suites before finalizing this approval. These approvals are part of a process reform for secondary suites. Applicants can now apply for a development permit as the first step in building a secondary suite in these land use districts. The development permit fee for all new secondary suite applications is being waived until June 1, 2020. City staff have been reviewing feedback from citizens from previous engagement on backyard suites, discussions at Council, and feedback from neighbouring land owners on past backyard suite applications. This background has given city staff a preliminary overview of the major concerns that neighbours have about backyard suites.

Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review
2017-2018

For current information on this project, click here
A parks bylaw is a set of rules to regulate the actions and behaviours of park users. These rules are intended to protect park assets, promote safety and provide a safe and enjoyable experience for park users. The Parks and Pathway Bylaw was last reviewed in 2003 – almost 15 years ago. Since then the way we use parks has evolved. For example, in recent years goats have been introduced to our parks to help manage weeds, Segways have been seen on pathways and new technologies, such as drones, have become more commonplace.

Designated Cannabis Consumption Areas
2018
In Calgary, public consumption rules for cannabis will be similar to those for public consumption of alcohol. Under the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw, it will be illegal to consume cannabis in any form (smoking, vaping, or edibles) in public places, except for designated cannabis consumption areas. Cannabis may be consumed on private property. Because landlord and tenant agreements, condo bylaws, and hotel rules can prohibit cannabis consumption in or on their properties, some citizens and visitors to Calgary may not have a legal place to consume cannabis. To that end, the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw allows Council to approve designated areas where cannabis may be smoked, vaped, or otherwise consumed in specific public places. These designated cannabis consumption areas are to help alleviate lack of access to a permissible place to consume cannabis once it is legal.

Glendale Land Use Application
2017-2018

For current information on this project, click here
In July 2017, The City of Calgary received an application to redesignate (rezone) an area of land located in the community of Glendale. The applicant sought to change the designation from R-C1, which is a residential designation primarily used for single-detached homes, to M-H1, which would allow for a multi-residential apartment building that may have included commercial storefronts. The proposed designation would have accommodated a building with a maximum height of 18 metres (6 storeys), which would have increased the current allowed height of 10 metres. A maximum of approximately 110 units were proposed, an increase from the current maximum of five units.

The City is looking at changes to the South Calgary/Altadore Area Redevelopment Plan and the Marda Loop Area Redevelopment Plan as a result of two applications in the area. An application that proposes a land use that is not permitted in an existing Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) often goes through a public engagement process to help The City understand how the proposal may alter the vision established in the ARP. The City is reviewing how the proposed land use amendments align with the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) policy and is seeking public input as part of our review. No decisions or recommendations have been made at this time.

South Shaganappi Study
2015-2018

For current information on this project, click here
In 2009, Council approved the Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP). It reclassified Shaganappi Trail to an Arterial Street from a Skeletal Road and identified the corridor as a primary route for transit, cycling and HOV (high occupancy vehicles). In addition, the CTP confirmed that the Bow River crossing recommendation would be removed. This means that Shaganappi Trail will no longer function as a north to south connector across the river. These changes require us to revisit how Shaganappi Trail was designed in the south end. The South Shaganappi Study will work with stakeholders and the public to determine the best way of addressing these challenges and ensure the future design of the study area meets the needs of the community.

The four new projects fill important gaps in the existing transit network, and provide Calgarians with efficient, reliable connections to major destinations. The Southwest BRT includes new stations along the length of the route, and construction of new bus-only travel lanes on 14 Street S.W. between Southland Drive and 75 Avenue S.W. Buses will run in mixed traffic along the rest of the route, except on portions of Glenmore Trail and Crowchild Trail, where buses will use the shoulder lane to bypass traffic in rush hour.

The City Charter
2017

For current information on this project, click here
The City of Calgary and The City of Edmonton are working with the Government of Alberta to develop City Charters. A City Charter is a legislative tool that gives cities greater flexibility and authority. A City Charter is intended to cover a range of issues from simple administrative efficiencies to complex regulatory changes. Having Calgary-specific legislation in the form of a City Charter will better enable us to make local decisions and policies to address the large-scale challenges we face.

    Transportation Bylaw Changes
    2018/2019

    For current information on this project, click here
    The City of Calgary is updating our transportation bylaws to make roadways more inclusive for all Calgarians. Many of the changes are being put forth to legalize behaviours that are commonly accepted and currently in practice. Updates to various City bylaws will provide clarity and consistency regarding the use of bicycles and personal mobility devices, reduce the risk of being ticketed for socially acceptable travel behaviour and improve safety.
