Final Recommendation Report
The Final Recommendation Report from phase 4 is complete.
PROJECT UPDATE
The Deerfoot Trail Study is a joint initiative between The City of Calgary and Alberta Transportation.The study covers approximately 35 kilometres of highway, including 18 existing interchange and one future interchange at 128 Avenue N.E.
In Phase 1 of the study we asked Calgarians and Deerfoot Trail users to identify and confirm challenges on Deerfoot Trail.
In Phase 2 we identified possible short-term solutions (see the Short Term Improvements tab above).
In Phase 3 we asked for feedback on the long-term preliminary Deerfoot Trail improvement concepts at seven interchange areas, (download the whole discussion guide for Phase 3 for more).
In Phase 4 we reviewed the long-term recommendations based on Multiple Account Evaluation (M.A.E.), looking at four main factors: financial, environmental, socio-community, and customer service, as well as public feedback.
We are now in Phase 5 which shares the outcomes of the study and presents the final long-term recommendations. The recommended long-term plan enhances safety and mobility for all users and improves and optimizes overall operations throughout the corridor and adjacent network.

Rumours are circulating that the Mapleridge golf course is going to close and/or be reduced to accommodate upgrades to Southland and or Anderson interchanges on Deerfoot trail. Is this true? If so, please elaborate.

With the major upgrades to the Deerfoot-Beddington interchange, the usage of Beddington Tr. will increase further due to the conveniences provided by these improvements. How will the City try to improve the bottleneck section (2 lanes in each direction) of the Beddington Tr between Stony Tr and Berkshire Blvd? These roads have to accommodate the communities of Panorama, Evanston, Kincora, and Sage Hill and are always congested during AM/PM peak hours.

WHAT WE HEARD FROM THIS PHASE OF ENGAGEMENT
We heard from the public in a variety of ways, including in-person at open houses, stakeholder meetings, and via our online engagement page. The Deerfoot project team is currently reviewing and evaluating all of the feedback as they work to finalize recommendations for the study. For more information and to review the themes that we heard from the public and stakeholders feedback, we invite you to review the Deerfoot Trail Phase 3 engagement What We Heard Report.
