Overall Themes We Heard in the Discover Phase
Pathways and Connectivity: • It is important to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists along the study corridor. • There are missing segments of pathways. • Desire for safe active modes crossing of Deerfoot Trail.
Traffic Accommodation: • Provide connection for all modes of transportation. • Support for industrial growth and goods movement.
Environment: • Nose Creek alignment and protection is a priority.
Design Constraints: • Participants expressed concern about the proximity of the 128 Avenue N.E. interchange to the one at Stoney Trail N.E. and Deerfoot Trail, however the 128 Avenue N.E. interchange location is in alignment with the existing transportation plans of the Provincial Government.
calgary.ca/website | contact 311 128 Avenue N.E. The City is undertaking a functional planning study to provide an east-west connection through the Stoney Industrial Area between Stoney Trail N.E. and Barlow Trail N.E. Using technical analysis and feedback from Calgarians in the Discover Phase, we have developed concepts and alignment options and would like your feedback to develop the recommended plan.
