calgary.ca/CountryHillsWidening | calgary.ca/128AveNE | contact 311 Deerfoot Trail Bridges – Bridge Deck Options Using what we heard from Calgarians in the Discover Phase, the project team developed three options for widening the Deerfoot Trail Bridges. RFOOT TRAIL BRIDGE RFOOT TRAIL BRIDGE Existing Bridge Conditions: All options provide the following: North bridge provides two westbound lanes and exit ramp. RFOOT TRAIL BRIDGE • Six lanes on Country Hills 2.5 m sidewalk on the north side. Boulevard N.E. South bridge provides two eastbound lanes. • Continuous pathway or sidewalk No pathway connection on the south side. connections along both sides of Country Hills Boulevard N.E. RFOOT TRAIL BRIDGEDEERFOOT TRAIL EXISTING BRIDGE CROSS SECTION • New south bridge.

Option A – Widen North Bridge Cost: $$$ (6.6 m of bridge widening and 27.6 m of new bridge width). Widen north-side pathway width along Deerfoot Trail Bridge. Widen north bridge to the south to accommodate additional westbound lane and pathway widening to 4 m. Construct new south bridge to accommodate future eastbound lanes and 4 m south-side pathway. DEERFOOT TRAIL OPTION A BRIDGE CROSS SECTION

Option B – North Bridge Remains Cost: $ (21.6 m of new bridge width). Modify lane markings on north bridge to accommodate three westbound lanes and right turn merge lane to exit ramp. North sidewalk to remain at 2.5 m wide. Construct new south bridge to accommodate three eastbound lanes, right turn merge lane to exit ramp and south-side pathway. Add 4 m pedestrian connection on the south bridge.

DEERFOOT TRAIL OPTION B BRIDGE CROSS SECTION

Option C – Build Separate Pedestrian Bridge Cost: $$ (24.5 m of new bridge width and 4.9 m wide pedestrian bridge).

Option C with Construct a separate pedestrian bridge on the north side to accommodate a 4 m pathway. Pedestrian Bridge Use space for existing pathway on north bridge to accommodate three westbound lanes and ramp. Construct new south bridge to accommodate future eastbound lanes, a ramp and south-side Option B with Pedestrian Bridge pathway. Add 4 m pedestrian connection on the south bridge.

Bridge Widening: • Widening options to accommodate wide paths and three traffic lanes in each direction at Deerfoot Trail Bridge, Nose Creek Bridge and CP Rail Bridge. calgary.ca/CountryHillsWidening | calgary.ca/128AveNE | contact 311 What We Heard: 128 Avenue N.E.

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.
