Construction on the second phase of the Bearspaw feeder main replacement project is set to start in May.

Calgary was awarded $251.3 million, including top-ups, from the federal Housing Accelerator Fund, with $122.9 million allocated so far.

Last month, city officials announced it is fast-tracking the project, which would add a steel pipe of the same size and parallel to the existing pipe.

The policy changed Calgary’s land-use bylaw to make residential grade-oriented infill (R-CG) the default residential zoning district across the city.

The proposed plan, introduced to the city's executive committee Tuesday, includes 27 action items across four stages between now and 2027.

The future of Calgary Transit's downtown free-fare zone could be under the microscope as a pair of city councillors seek an in-depth review into the decades-old initiative.

Work on the first phase of the Bearspaw feeder main replacement was originally set to begin this spring, but Calgary officials say they want the pipe complete by next winter.

The City of Calgary has elevated the risks associated with its infrastructure following the second catastrophic failure of a main city water line in less than two years.

Ward 2 Coun. Jennifer Wyness is raising concerns about the recommendations including the establishment of a municipally owned corporation to manage Calgary's water system.

Former Calgary city councillors who served over the last 20 years said they were unaware of the criticality of the Bearspaw feeder main.
