16 Ave. N.W. and 24 Ave. N.W. Interchanges (Medium-Long Term Improvements) Key Project Goal Evaluation Principle of: Comments Interchanges Prioritize concepts that fit within existing City-owned lands over concepts that require purchasing private property. Address how changes to Crowchild Trail affect traffic patterns and safety in bordering communities. Recommend current and visually-pleasing ways to reduce traffic noise along Crowchild Trail. Key Principle #1: Principle Key Enhance green spaces, park spaces and Maintain and Enhance and Enhance Maintain

Bordering Communities Bordering pathways along the Crowchild Trail corridor. Provide continuous pedestrian and cycling routes nearby, but not on, Crowchild Trail to connect major destinations along the corridor. Provide for convenient, high capacity, high frequency bus service along Crowchild Trail. Enhance the Crowchild Trail corridor to better fulfill its role as a primary route for delivery of emergency response and health the Corridor services, and for connecting to major Key Principle #2: Principle Key destinations. Improve Travel Along Travel Improve Provide for more continuous traffic flow on Crowchild Trail that addresses bottleneck points and traffic weaving. Enhance the safety and accessibility of transit stops throughout the Crowchild Trail corridor. Enhance pedestrian and cycling access across Crowchild Trail, both in the number and quality of crossings. Ensure alternate access is provided for bordering communities and businesses Key Principle #3: Principle Key Improve Mobility Improve
