The City of Calgary is undertaking a Functional Planning Study (FPS) for the extension of Memorial Drive from Abbeydale Drive to the east city limits at 116 Street E. The roadway extension is part of The City’s plan to establish better connectivity between communities and businesses on both sides of Stoney Trail.
The roadway extension will include a new crossing of the CN rail line and an east-west overpass across Stoney Trail (without on-or-off-ramps from Stoney Trail). All options also include connections to the Rotary Mattamy Greenway to enhance active mode connectivity for those walking and wheeling.
We have posted the What We Heard Report, which took place May 1 to 22, 2023, to our website. Our goal from Phase 2: Explore was to develop and evaluate potential design concepts based off the community priorities and feedback we heard during Phase 1: Discover.
We’re pleased with the continued interest shown by the community: we received 3,591 engagement portal page views and 282 contributions of feedback. You can find additional details on the engagement opportunities, how we communicated with the community, and verbatim comments in the full report.
We’ll continue our conversations during Phase 3: Reveal later this fall. The team will present the preferred design concept for feedback and review. Once Phase 3 dates are confirmed, we will share more information on our website.
