  • Crowchild Trail Study Project Update
    Transportation Report to ISC: UNRESTRICTED SPC on Transportation and Transit TT2016-0599 2016 July 20 Page 1 of 11 CROWCHILD TRAIL STUDY – PROJECT UPDATE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is an update to Council on the achievements of the Crowchild Trail Study, and contains recommendations to advance the design and construction of short-term improvements to the corridor, beginning Q4 2016. Since the last project update, Phase 3: Concept Identification of the study concluded with a set of ideas and concepts developed and evaluated with Calgarians for possible short-, medium-, and long-term changes and upgrades to Crowchild Trail. Throughout late-October and November 2015, Calgarians shared over 500 unique ideas for possible changes to Crowchild Trail, from over 400 participants that attended ten in-person events, and over 1,900 online submissions. Ideas gathered ranged from short-term, “quick-fix” optimization and local improvement ideas, through to ideas that could support continued growth and development of the City for the years and decades to come. Throughout February and March 2016, Calgarians had an opportunity to see how the ideas look when applied to the Crowchild Trail corridor. They also had an opportunity to evaluate and refine a group of ideas against the project’s three key principles, learn about why some of the ideas did not move forward for further consideration, and see which ideas would be explored in Phase 4: Concept Evaluation. Ideas evaluated and confirmed by Calgarians and the project team were used to develop preliminary concepts for evaluation and feedback in Phase 4. Phase 4 of the study launched in May 2016.

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.

These comprised: • Informal one-page surveys that were distributed at the February 2017 project kick-off meetings, which were held at meetings of goods movement and economic development industry associations and other groups. • One-on-one interviews that were conducted with stakeholders. These stakeholders comprised a wide range of perspectives: the provincial and federal governments, infrastructure and facility owners, emergency services, utilities, retailers, distributors, carriers, couriers, aggregates producers and industry associations. • Stakeholder meetings, which were held with four groups: o Operational Advisory Group (OAG), an external body set up to advise the Strategy on short term issues and solutions.
