What are we doing?

We're developing dedicated pathway and bikeway routes in Falconridge, Castleridge, Taradale, Saddle Ridge and Martindale, 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?

High numbers of students and safety incidents are the two main reasons we are investing in pathways and bikeways in these neighbourhoods. Calgary data shows there are more students living near their school than in other parts of Calgary, and that this area experienced the highest numbers of injury collisions between 2017 and 2021. Designing safer streets for students will mean safer streets for everyone.

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!
