  • 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.

  • Calgary Zoo Cofferdam Flood Mitigation Project – Calgary, AB
    CASE STUDY Calgary Zoo Cofferdam Flood Mitigation Project – Calgary, AB HISTORY The Calgary Zoo is located in the Bridgeland neighborhood of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, just east of the city’s downtown. It is accessible via light rail system, car, and bicycle/foot via the Bow River pathway. A large portion of the zoo is located on St. George’s Island in the Bow River. The zoo, a world-class facility, is home to almost 800 animals and 130 different species. The 120-acre zoo is organized into six distinct zones: Destination Africa, Canadian Wilds, Penguin Plunge, Dorothy Harvie Botanical Gardens and ENMAX Conservatory, Eurasia, and Prehistoric Park. PROBLEM In June of 2013, a massive slow-moving weather system dumped over 4 inches of rain on the region in a 24-hour period. The national forecaster predicted that rainfall could double within the next few days, forcing a state of emergency to be declared in at least a dozen communities. The storm, aided in part by springtime run-off, brought the Bow River to 100 year-flood levels and sent the administration, veterinarians, zookeepers, and various other zoo personnel scrambling to remove the majority of the 215 animals that inhabited the 23-acre portion of the zoo located on St. George’s Island. With the river levels well above normal levels, there was little doubt that the animals had to be evacuated “Keller Canada is extremely thrilled that we selected Nucor Skyline as our sheet pile supplier for their protection, as well as the safety of the for the Calgary Zoo Flood Mitigation project.
