What are we doing?

We're developing dedicated pathway and bikeway routes in the communities of Elboya, Windsor Park, Meadowlark Park, Kingsland, Haysboro, and Southwood, aligning with Calgary's established Pathway and Bikeway Network. These routes will focus on routes that serve students, recreation, shopping, and work destinations. When built, these routes will provide safe, healthy, and affordable travel choices for people of all ages and all abilities.

Why are we doing it?

This project combines three separate initiatives. First, the SW Neighbourhood Bikeway was identified as one of the top 15 projects to provide safe and equitable connections to schools and regional destinations, emphasizing active transportation and community well-being. Second, the community identified 89th Ave. S.W. to address the need for an east-west connection in S.W. Calgary, enhancing mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. Lastly, Horton Road S.W. is in need of reconstruction and will implement complete streets elements to improve mobility for all users.

What will we do with your feedback?

In this Phase 1: Discover your input will provide valuable local perspectives, opinions, and concerns, helping the project team understand the local context and needs of the area. Your input from this phase will be 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.

At the conclusion of each engagement phase, a What We Heard report summarizing feedback will be produced and made available on this page.

Think about the experiences of students, people with mobility challenges, parents with strollers / young children, and seniors travelling in the community. If we consider improvements for the most vulnerable it will make the pathways and bikeways safer for all!
