As part of a continuing program of major road restoration, The City is planning to complete road reconstruction on 14 Street SW from Anderson Road to Canyon Meadows Drive SW. There will be no changes to the number of lanes on the roadway as part of the current reconstruction project. A design will be completed for a potential future upgrade of this section of 14 Street SW from a two-lane road to a four-lane parkway, which may be warranted in the long-term.
The City will also be looking into the possibility of constructing a new walking and wheeling connection. These upgrades will bring the design of the road up to modern standards, enhance safety, and improve traffic flow, while improving connections for pedestrians and cyclists.
The project will include:
• Pavement reconstruction and realignment of existing traffic lanes
• Installation of a new storm water system
• Possible utility relocations
• Potential addition of new walking and wheeling connection
A noise study will also be completed to determine if sound walls are required on the east side of the road adjacent to the community of Canyon Meadows. 14 Street SW is a popular, high-use corridor which extends from north to south Calgary, connecting to important routes and destinations throughout the city. On the south end, the segment from Anderson Road to Canyon Meadows Drive SW is a two-lane rural road in need of rehabilitation.
The proposed reconstruction project would enhance safety and provide a more comfortable experience for all modes of travel, while helping to ensure the roadway remains in good condition for years to come.
