As Kelly Coles, Vice President, Building & Infrastructure at CMLC, says, the project “creates a critical connection within Calgary’s emerging Culture + Entertainment District,” and brings modern, accessible infrastructure to the heart of the city. Improved accessibility, connectivity, and urban revitalization are at the centre of this project, with an opening of a key corridor across 17 Avenue S.E. between new and existing developments on both sides of Macleod Trail. “For the first time in 40 years, Calgarians and visitors alike will enjoy seamless access and a clear line of sight to all of the exciting things happening in Stampede Park that were previously hidden behind the old CTrain station,” says Coles. Plus, the modernized station is now safer, more accessible, and significantly enhances Expanded side-loading platforms dramatically improve pedestrian safety, sightlines, and ease of access and shorten pedestrian travel times from 400 metres to 60 metres.
