  • The Future of 16 Avenue N.W. - Explore Phase Stakeholder Report Back: What We Heard October 2020 - January 2021
    The Future of 16 Avenue N.W. - Explore Phase Stakeholder Report Back: What We Heard October 2020 - January 2021 Project overview 16 Avenue N.W. has a dual nature as both a major city-wide transportation corridor and as a community Main Street that has successfully nurtured a local commercial core in Montgomery for decades The 16 Avenue N.W. corridor from Sarcee Trail to Crowchild Trail requires a coherent planning effort due to the widely variable nature of the corridor today, with differing road classifications, land use, posted speed limits, number of lanes, accommodation of transit and active modes, and levels of planning and construction in recent years. Provision of additional capacity and ultimate build-out of the roadway to three core lanes in each direction is expected to fulfill 16 Avenue N.W.’s role as a primary transportation and goods movement corridor, and to support area growth. Within Montgomery along 16 Avenue N.W., a streetscape master plan will incorporate what is most important today and in the future about the main street experience with a focus on social and healthy lifestyles, mobility and functionality, character and identity, and economic vitality. The City will work with stakeholders and the public to gather feedback to develop design concepts, success criteria, a recommended corridor plan for 16 Avenue N.W. between Sarcee Trail and Crowchild Trail, and a Streetscape Master Plan for 16 Avenue N.W. in the community of Montgomery. As both the timing and location of these two studies are so close together, The City is seeking key stakeholder and public input for the two projects through a joint engagement process.

Macleod Trail, as we know it today, has remained much the same since the 1960’s. It was, and continues to be, characterized by low-rise buildings accompanied by paved parking lots and poor infrastructure for pedestrians. The development of low-density land use and long distances between destinations or areas of interest has encouraged driving as the primary way for people to get to and from key destinations along Macleod Trail.
