Pathway and Bikeway Plan
Calgary’s Pathway and Bikeway Network (5A) Program
We are continuing to build a pathway and bikeway network for people walking, wheeling, and cycling to provide year-round healthy and affordable travel options to Calgarians of all ages and abilities, including our 5As of design - always available for all ages & abilities.
What are we building?
We have several projects that are under construction or planned for construction in the near future. Please check here for current projects, plus you can check on any pathway closures or detours
Safer Crossings projects
We are enhancing safety with the installation of 28 Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFBs). These enhance the safety of pedestrian crossings by alerting drivers that a person on foot is ready to cross with flashing lights that resemble emergency flashers on police vehicles. The lights continue to light up as you walk inside the crosswalk, alerting drivers the whole time the crossing is in use.
RRFB locations underway:
- 24 Avenue & 18 Street NW
- 5 Avenue & 23 Street NW
- 129 Avenue & Bonaventure Drive SE
- 130 Avenue & Wood Valley Gate SW
- Briddlecrest Drive & 24 Street SW
- Acadia Drive & Ancourt Road SE
- Braeside Drive & Braniff Road SW

What are we planning?
We have several projects in the planning stage. We are working with communities, groups and organizations who will be impacted by new or updated pathway and bikeway projects, to develop and confirm new designs and upgrades.

What is 5A?
We design our pathway and bikeway network guided by five principles: Always Available for All Ages & Abilities. These principles are the result of consulting with Calgarians and outlined in our 5A Network Guiding Principles Report.
These 5As are applied to our planning and design by;
- Separating people by their speed
- Making it more easy to use
- Being accessible for everyone
- Making it reliable
- Improving visibility
