Ward 7 Councillor Druh Farrell was among those on hand to greet people using Calgary’s newest cycle track on Monday.
The two-way Bridgeland cycle track connects the communities of Bridgeland and Crescent Heights to businesses, the Bow River Pathway and downtown core. It opened on Sept. 9.
Project co-ordinator Tom Thivener said the new track was needed to keep both cyclists and pedestrians safe.
New cycle track prompts parking changes
The construction of the cycle track has caused several changes to area parking.
On-street parking on 1 Avenue N.E. has been removed between 4 Street N.E. and Edmonton Trail to fit the mobility improvements.
In addition, parking restrictions on 17 spaces on 4 Avenue N.E. have been reduced.
Six off-peak parking spaces have been added on 4 Street N.E. and 10 have been added on Edmonton Trail N.E.
