The 1 Avenue N.E. Main Street underwent the “design” step of the Main Streets program in 2018 and 2019. Based on community feedback, technical analysis, and financial considerations, we created a plan to support the needs identified by the community.

Phase Two of the Bridgeland Main Street project involves operational and streetscape improvements along 1 Avenue N.E. from 4 Street to 11 Street, and along 2 Avenue N.E. between 6 Street N.E. to 10 Street N.E.

Work includes:

• Widened sidewalks.
• More plants and trees.
• New street lighting along the road and sidewalks.
• New crosswalks with wheelchair ramps complete with tactile plates to help those with vision loss at intersections.
• Additional/upgraded pedestrian crossing signals at several intersections. Changes to intersection controls on 2 Avenue N.E.
• New waste & recycling bins, bike racks and benches.

Please see the Roll Plot for more detailed information:

• 4 Street N.E. to 6A Street N.E.
• 6A Street N.E. to 8A Street N.E.
• 8A Street to 11 Street N.E.

The 1 Avenue Main Street vision encompasses numerous considerations, including:

• A focus on urban design and placemaking.
• Enhanced pedestrian safety and comfort.
• Improved mobility options, including transit and cycling
• A design that is uniquely “Bridgeland-Riverside” and reflects its heritage and community identity.
• Improved connections to park spaces and amenities.
• Enhancing the community’s Main Street as a destination that will support existing and new local businesses.

What you can expect during construction:

• Sidewalk closures and detours ensure pedestrians and cyclists can travel safely through the area and still access their destinations.
• We will work directly with individual businesses to minimize the impacts of construction and provide continued access to their property as much as possible.
• The temporary closure of some parking, roads, and potential road detours. Traffic will be maintained during construction, by way of local detours.
• Temporary relocation of transit stops, Canada Post mailboxes, and/or Calgary Parking Authority pay machines.
• An increase in on-site construction activity, including construction crews, vehicles and heavy equipment, and an increase in noise and vibration throughout construction. 

The City developed a Streetscape Master Plan for Bridgeland based on citizen feedback, technical analysis, and financial considerations.

The vision for the Bridgeland Main Streets project is to build a streetscape that includes well-designed, quality public realm elements and public space, that prioritize the pedestrian experience and will support ongoing redevelopment and a thriving economic environment. Once complete, it will offer a variety of safe, accessible mobility connections, new community gathering spaces, and a uniquely Bridgeland character.

The key features of Bridgeland Main Streets are:

1. Prioritize pedestrian safety
2. Enhanced landscaping for pedestrian comfort
3. Unique streetscape elements
4. New opportunities for community gathering
5. Improved mobility options
