Phase 2 is open March 16 - April 13, 2026. Please see below to review the proposed routes and to provide your feedback.
We're developing neighbourhood street and pathway routes in the communities of Elboya, Windsor Park, Meadowlark Park, Kingsland, Haysboro, and Southwood, aligning with Calgary's established Pathway Network. These routes will focus on serving 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.
The design includes multi-use paths and bike boulevards.
This project includes three separate routes:
This project combines three separate initiatives. First, the North-South Connector 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.
Phase 1 - Discover: is now complete. Public input from this phase was considered alongside factors such as cost, environmental impact, technical limitations, and long-range plans to inform design options that are being presented in Phase 2 - Explore.
Phase 2 - Explore: asks for participant input on the proposed changes. 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 3 - Reveal.
At the conclusion 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.
Below shows pictures of the components of a bike boulevard that are proposed throughout various sections of the corridor.
A form of traffic calming, a raised crosswalk is a pedestrian crosswalk constructed at a higher elevation than the adjacent roadway. Can be located midblock or at intersections. Used to reduce vehicle speeds, improve pedestrian visibility, and reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts.
A form of traffic calming, a curb extension is an extension of a portion of the curb into the roadway, resulting in a narrower roadway width. Can be located midblock or at intersections. Used to slow vehicle speeds, reduce crossing distances for pedestrians, and increase pedestrian visibility.
Various traffic control changes are proposed which include moving stop signs from north-south approaches to east-west approaches or adding 4-way (or all-way) stops. These changes are designed to improve the experience of people wheeling along the corridor, improve intersection operations, and in some cases improve safety.
A form of traffic calming, a speed hump is a raised area of the road, causing an upward movement for road users. They are used to reduce vehicle speeds.
Signage and pavement markings are designed to help people navigate the route and direct people to key destinations (ex. Chinook Centre, Stanley Park, Heritage LRT Station). All signage and pavement markings are not identified on the plans shown for feedback in this phase of engagement.
