About the Project
We're developing 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 connections 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.
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. Also, these communities scored high on the Calgary Equity Index.
We are seeking input from April 7-28, 2025 for our Phase 2: Explore Design Options. Public input from Phase 1: Discover was considered with factors such as cost, environmental impact, technical constraints, and policies that influence our designs, which are now available to share with you.
At the end of each engagement phase, a What We Heard report summarizing feedback will be produced and made available on this page. You can read the Phase 1: Discover What We Heard Report here.
Then later this year we will share the final design we chose and why, confirm a budget and construction timeline.
Phase 1: Discover
PHASE 1 IS NOW CLOSED
The Results are In!
Phase 1 engagement was open for input from May 10-July 2, 2024.
Phase 1 engagement asked participants to share their valuable local perspectives, opinions, and concerns. This will help the project team understand the local context and needs of the area as we consider options for Phase 2: Explore. The 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.
PHASE 1: IN-PERSON POP UP EVENTS
Look for our tent at Prairie Winds Park during the Sikh Parade.
Senior's Week at the Genesis Center in atrium area.

SHARE YOUR IDEAS
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!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Review Comments: Take a look at the comments left by your neighbors.
- Thumbs Up or Down: Show your support by giving a thumbs up or express disagreement with a thumbs down.
- Submit Your Idea: Feel free to share your unique ideas (maximum 140 characters per box).
- One Idea Per Box: Aim for one idea per box to make it easy for others to react to each comment. You can add more than one idea if you like.
What else do you want The City to consider when improving the area for walking, biking, and wheeling?

Consistency + connecting existing multiuse paths. future paths and bikeways is good. Shallower turning radius helps visibility in crosswalks

Please add a divider for bikers/walkers to share the pathway around water and add benches in the parks for the kids/seniors.

We need more benches and more bike racks. More pit stops for cyclists to rest, charge ebikes, etc

Calgarian says:
Making sure the paths are safe to walk/bike also in the winter. Snow/ice removal will make it easier to bike all year round.

Promote group rides to newcomers to help them positively experience urban cycling and negotiate challenges within our cycling infrastructure

Ráz says:
Ability for frequent pathway users to earn credits towards e.g. Free annual bike tuneups, transit tickets & safety gear like gloves/helmets.
26 June, 2024
Ráz says:
Digital counter signs that welcome and thank users as well as display the +ve accumulated environmental impact e.g. trees saved/ CO2 reduced
26 June, 2024
Ráz says:
Use recycled plastic bottles/caps with a high visibility colour which are 3x more durable than asphalt to resurface pathways along roadways

I would like to bike along Country Hills Blvd from 36NE to Barlow to access Nose Creek Pathway w/o having to ride as far N as 128

Lynne Darlington says:
The path along 96th Ave NE btwn 60th St & 68th Ave is missing. This is very dangerous for cyclists as we have to ride on a very busy route.
