Riley Area construction projects

The City of Calgary is investing in our infrastructure and public spaces to provide meaningful improvements for Riley area residents and businesses.

This coming spring and summer numerous projects will begin in the Riley area. These projects deliver a vision for the area that combines flood mitigation with vibrant public spaces and upgrades to community infrastructure.

The City is working collaboratively across project teams to provide up-to-date information with community members and help mitigate impacts on those in the area.
