  • Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review

    Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review

    Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review Stakeholder Report Back: What we Heard May 4, 2018 Project overview 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. 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. Engagement overview Engagement sought to understand what is important to you in terms of your park usage as part of this Bylaw review to better assess your usage and as a result, our next steps. Engagement is one area that will help us as we review the Parks and Pathway Bylaw. In addition to your input, we are looking into 3-1-1 calls, other reports and best practices from other cities. In alignment with City Council’s Engage Policy, all engagement efforts, including this project are defined as: Purposeful dialogue between The City and citizens and stakeholders to gather meaningful information to influence decision making. As a result, all engagement follows the following principles: Citizen-centric: focusing on hearing the needs and voices of both directly impacted and indirectly impacted citizens Accountable: upholding the commitments that The City makes to its citizens and stakeholders by demonstrating that the results and outcomes of the engagement processes are consistent with the approved plans for engagement Inclusive: making best efforts to reach, involve, and hear from those who are impacted directly or indirectly Committed: allocating sufficient time and resources for effective engagement of citizens and stakeholders Responsive: acknowledging citizen and stakeholder concerns Transparent: providing clear and complete information around decision processes, procedures and constraints.

    Calgary Bow and Elbow River Instream Work Sites

    Calgary Bow and Elbow River Instream Work Sites The 2013 Flood caused considerable damaged to the Bow River banks, instream infrastructure and changes to the footprint of the river. Over the past four years and into the future river banks will be stabilized and infrastructure redeveloped or replaced. In addition, new bridges and river access will be built to support the ever increasing diversity of the city. Each year there are two “Windows of Opportunity” for instream work to be completed. April 6 to April 30 and July 15 to September 15. The main purpose of these restriction is to protect the spring spawning Rainbow Trout and fall spawning Brown Trout and restrict instream work during spring run-off. Each instream project is governed by Federal and Provincial statutes whereby there are policies and procedures that must be met to receive project approval. Although precautions are put in place to reduce the movement in sediment downstream, reduced viability can be expected over the duration of the work schedule. The following are a list of project that are planned for 2017: Harvie Passage: This project managed by Alberta Transportation is a redevelopment of the high and low flow channels destroyed by the 2013 flood. Details of the project and timelines for instream work can be found at the following link Alberta Transportation Harvie Passage Redevelopment. The consulting engineers have indicated that the spring window of instream work will be completed on time: “Instream work started today. The Contractor is working towards removing the cofferdams in the next week or so but the temporary diversion channel may not be blocked off till later.
