Inglewood Transit Study

The City of Calgary has commissioned AECOM Canada (an engineering and planning consulting company) to carry out a transportation planning study for both 9 Avenue SE in Inglewood and 17 Avenue SE in Forest Lawn. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of locating a bus rapid transit route on these two streets. It will also address the needs for cyclists/pedestrians, truck traffic as well as access and parking. The study area boundaries are one block north and south of both 9 Avenue SE (in Inglewood) and one block north and south of 17 Avenue SE (in Forest Lawn). They include the downtown in the west and the city limits in the East.

The City of Calgary is urging interested residents, business and commercial property owners to get involved and to come to this open house. It is scheduled for:

On: Wednesday, September 16, 2009
From: 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm
At: Alexandra Centre Society
922 9 Avenue SE

This open house will present the preliminary alternatives and allow those in attendance to view and comment on them. Staff from both The City of Calgary and the consulting company will be in attendance to discuss the project, answer your questions and receive your comments.

A recommended plan will be presented at the 2nd Open House to be held on November 2009.
