A message from the City of Calgary:
Our work continues on in 2018 and beyond. Calgary is full of great communities and we’re committed to investing in the creation of main streets as destinations throughout the city. We’ll be back in main street communities beginning in January to continue our work with residents, business owners and investors. We’re continuing our collaborative approach to community building and creating healthy and vibrant main streets.
In January, we continue dialogue with 17th Avenue SE neighbourhoods by reviewing land use concepts for the main street and the updating of the local area plan. February marks the launch of Main Street projects for Bowness Road NW (Bowness) and 33rd Avenue SW. We’ll be focusing on planning work for Bowness Road, while 33rd Avenue features a dual focus on planning and investment.
Upcoming information sessions and open houses for these main streets include:
