  • 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.

  • Peace Bridge
    PEACE BRIDGE Calgary, Canada Inaugurated March 24, 2012 PEACE BRIDGE | 04.05.12 PAGE 2 of 2 SANTIAGO CALATRAVA ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT I was honored to be asked by The City of Calgary to design a bridge of merit over the Bow River. The Design Brief for the project placed a number of key restrictions on my design that influenced my development of the tubular steel truss design. The geometrical constraints of the site for the bridge that had been selected by the City included the adjacent heliport (only 75m away) and the Bow River itself. The approach cone to the heliport (the path in which helicopters must fly) creates a “no go” zone above the bridge and the high water and ice levels of the Bow River create a similar restriction below. These constrictions come together to generate an envelope of only 7m in which to create the bridge. The City advised us that no piers would be accepted in the river bed, and as such the need for a clear span of 125m between banks (and out of the flood zone) was required. The small envelope of space coupled with the restriction of no intermediate supports drove me to look at a deep “box girder” design; discarding the more usual candidate structures for such a span (such as Arched or Cable stayed designs), which would have been simply too shallow to be viable. Indeed these restrictions led us to develop schemes for launching the bridge horizontally over the River without the need for even temporary piers in the river.
