The online mapping tool asked participants to drop pins in the areas where they experience the greatest congestion and use the comment box to explain the issue. Comments were limited to 140 characters. A total of 3,364 pins were dropped on the study area online maps. The project team reviewed every comment and categorized all comments by location. This report summarizes the themes that were heard most frequently for each location, and verbatim comments are provided after each summary. Comments that mentioned more than one idea were included in a maximum of three themes. In the verbatim reports, the comments are listed under the theme mentioned first and only recorded one time. Comments related to concerns outside the study area have not been plotted on the maps in this report, but have been recorded in the verbatim comments for the project team’s analysis. The map became so populated with comments that a clean map was posted halfway through the engagement period. Because the maps became so crowded, many of the pins were located a distance from where the comment references. The project team reviewed every comment and allocated it to the closest intersection unless a more specific location was referenced within the comment. May 30 – June 15, 2016 online comment map June 15 – 30, 2016 online comment map Page 2 of 167 Page 3 of 167 Verbatim Comments The verbatim comments have been sorted by interchange and then by theme. Some comments provided feedback on more than one topic. Up to three topics were themed for each comment, and in the verbatim report the comment is found only one time under the first topic mentioned. These have been reported by the first mentioned theme in the verbatim report but please note the first three themes have been recorded by the project team. Some verbatim responses have been spell checked to ensure readability. Stoney Trail North Additional lane(s) needed Needs a carpool lane to free up some space plus it can also be a bike lane. NB & SB Hwy. 2 add center HOV + additional core lane (HOV + 4 core lanes). HOV lanes should NOT replace / reduce # of existing core lanes. Changes to retaining wall required Install Glare Screens on the concrete median between N and Southbound lanes to avoid distraction and secondary accidents in the opposite lanes. Close Access If Deerfoot is to be a freeway limiting of exits and merges is a must. Page 4 of 167 Don’t like non-Calgarians using roadway Airdrie commuters don't pay Calgary taxes, so why do they get a better connection into the city than most residents of Calgary? Install lights Deerfoot is not a freeway. Install light controlled intersections on Deerfoot. Get some order on this road. Use Stoney as your freeway. Interchange design WOW, build a humungous interchange... now, the people that just bypassed Calgary and hit NB highway 2 have to interact with dumbass mall traffic. Likes current state Love free-flowing interchanges. Thank you for this! Well done here! :) Works well! On / off ramps Stoney to Deerfoot south and Deerfoot to Country hills south, connect the onramp to the off- ramp continuous. Poor road design Need to decide if Deerfoot is a freeway or a feeder road and design according to road type. It can't serve all purposes. Signal / sign change needed Replace "SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT" signs with "KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS" signs. a sign with travel times to Memorial and Glenmore before the Stoney exit so if it was slow, people could avoid Deerfoot. Speed Get the tandem dump trucks to slow down to the speed limit and stop passing everything in sight. Tolls Put in a toll lane to stop Airdrie from using Calgary amenities for Airdrie taxes. Toll road starting at entrance to Calgary City limits. There is a lot of wear on other roadways in Calgary due to Airdrie commuters. Trucks Add signage not allowing trucks in left lane. Page 5 of 167 Country Hills Boulevard Additional lane(s) needed Similar to Hwy 401. Extend 4th lane from Stoney Trail to C H Blvd. for smoother access to CH Blvd. Lack of consistency Every single interchange on Deerfoot is completely different. How are we supposed to know what to expect? Dynamite every one of them. Signal / sign change needed Add signage similar to what is in Edmonton - 110 km/h at the top of the ramp. Most people do 80, which is dangerous for traffic on highway. Speed Limit signs in this area use a random smattering of non-standard fonts. Shows incompetence of current operator. Signage leads you to the right lane for CHB only to have that lane end. Lane then restarts at exit. This causes very dangerous lane changes. Get rid of the traffic lights! What is with Calgary and their traffic lights at major interchanges? More lights. Build a 4-leaf clover. You are halfway there already. Speed Page 6 of 167 Revise the speed limit on Deerfoot to 80 km/h because all the ramps onto and off are not designed to handle the 100-km limit. Tolls Toll lane for express lane, automatic/electronic charge just like the ones in the US. Volume of traffic – peak hours Merging from Country Hills Blvd onto Deerfoot is a nightmare during rush hour only to have to split off onto airport trail. Want express lanes Given the number of major interchanges in close proximity, it would make sense to use an express/collector system for Deerfoot. 96 Avenue N.E. / Airport Trail Additional lane(s) needed Extending Airport Trail NE straight out to Stoney Trail, east of the airport would reduce congestion on Deerfoot. 96th Ave S to Deerfoot, make a lane instead of merge...this is dangerous. From end to end.... should increase to 4 lanes both ways... Close access Page 7 of 167 Close airport trail westbound at Deerfoot - never should have been opened - too much residential. HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) NB & SB Hwy. 2 add center HOV + additional core lane (HOV + 4 core lanes). HOV lanes should NOT replace / reduce # of existing core lanes. Interchange design Install Glare Screens on the concrete median between N and Southbound lanes to avoid distraction and secondary accidents in the opposite lanes.

The City of Calgary, Corporate Records, Archives. Photo of Macleod Trail circa 2005. The City of Calgary, Corporate Records, Archives. 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. What will Macleod Trail look like Because people will be living within walking or cycling distances to businesses and major activity centres over the next 50 years?

  • A Comprehensive Guide to the Alberta Oil Sands
    A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE ALBERTA OIL SANDS UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN IMPACTS , EXPORT IMPLICATIONS , AND POLITICAL , ECONOMIC , AND INDUSTRY INFLUENCES Michelle Mech May 2011 (LAST REVISED MARCH 2012) A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE ALBERTA OIL SANDS UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN IMPACTS , EXPORT IMPLICATIONS , AND POLITICAL , ECONOMIC , AND INDUSTRY INFLUENCES ABOUT THIS REPORT Just as an oil slick can spread far from its source, the implications of Oil Sands production have far reaching effects. Many people only read or hear about isolated aspects of these implications. Media stories often provide only a ‘window’ of information on one specific event and detailed reports commonly center around one particular facet. This paper brings together major points from a vast selection of reports, studies and research papers, books, documentaries, articles, and fact sheets relating to the Alberta Oil Sands. It is not inclusive. The objective of this document is to present sufficient information on the primary factors and repercussions involved with Oil Sands production and export so as to provide the reader with an overall picture of the scope and implications of Oil Sands current production and potential future development, without perusing vast volumes of publications. The content presents both basic facts, and those that would supplement a general knowledge base of the Oil Sands and this document can be utilized wholly or in part, to gain or complement a perspective of one or more particular aspect(s) associated with the Oil Sands. The substantial range of Oil Sands- related topics is covered in brevity in the summary. This paper discusses environmental, resource, and health concerns, reclamation, viable alternatives, crude oil pipelines, and carbon capture and storage.
