This functional planning study will refine the half interchange layout, identify the land required and confirm how access will be provided to the adjacent lands. This is a long-term plan to identify requirements for 20-30 years in the future. The Functional Planning Study will include the Study Process & Schedule PHASE following considerations: STAKEHOLDERS PUBLIC OUTCOME Issues I Conversations with landowners I Information UNDERSTANDING • Determine long-term needs for vehicle capacity, number of Scoping and stakeholder groups Session OF STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC ISSUES lanes, and land (right-of-way) requirements 1 Spring 2015 I Issues Scoping Workshop • Prepare a plan for providing access to neighbouring properties, Develop OPTIONS CONSIDERING Options I I including impacts to the properties in the study area Stakeholder meetings Open House STAKEHOLDER AND 2 Winter PUBLIC ISSUES 2015/2016 • Identify the interchange plans and profiles that accommodate and consider the following: Develop RECOMMENDED • The high load corridor on Highway 560 Functional I Stakeholder meetings I Information PLAN CONSIDERING Plan Session STAKEHOLDER AND • Adjacent interchanges and the surrounding road network 3 PUBLIC INPUT Spring 2016 • Transit, and pedestrian and cyclist mobility From 2007 to Now - What Has Changed Current Highway 560 Functional Plan (2007) VALE VALE ROAD VIEW RR 281 RR 283 GARDEN ROAD GARDEN RR 284 RR285/ 2007The Highway 560 Functional RR 273/ RR 274 RR 275 HWY 791 HWY 797 RR 282 Planning Study completed by Alberta 84 STREET Highway 560 (Glenmore Trail) Transportation in 2007 is the current Four Lanes, Divided Prairie Schooner Estates long-term plan for the corridor.

About the Project The study will consider options to provide access to/from the west for 100 Street SE (Garden Road) at Glenmore Trail, for businesses and residents that rely on 100 l Street SE. A half interchange concept has been previously proposed. The concept, and na Ca potential variations to it, will be developed to address constraints, opportunities and ks wor long-term needs. ead n H Heatherglen er est Golf Course W Although the project will not be constructed for 20-30 years, we need to begin planning now. High Load Ramp What is a half interchange? Entry Ramp to the west (only for tall trucks that cannot The half interchange provides access to and from the west, while maintaining the fit under the underpass) required interchange spacing between Stoney Trail and the future Conrich Road interchange to the east. Why are we doing this study now? The Shepard Industrial and Janet areas are expected to see significant growth over the Glenmore Trail (Hwy 560) next 20 – 30 years. The City of Calgary, Rocky View County and the Province recognize that providing access to the adjacent lands is crucial for future development. The study will provide the information necessary to allow the right-of-way to be protected. Exit Ramp from the west Why not a full interchange? A full interchange at 100 Street SE will be too close to the future Conrich Road interchange to allow for proper acceleration and deceleration lanes. The High Load Ramps will be used only in rare circumstances and cannot be designed for regular use. A half interchange accommodates the movements with the highest traffic volumes, ° providing good connections to Stoney Trail. The other movements will be provided via existing and future local roads and as outlined in the Highway 560 Functional Planning 100 (GardenStreet SE Rd) Study.
