Calgary's Stephen Avenue Walk got a colourful makeover on the weekend as Trans and Pride flags were painted on the pavement.

A committee at Calgary City Hall is recommending that rules on separation distances between cannabis retail stores be put in place on a stretch of 8 Avenue from Macleod Trail to 9 Street S.W.

Requests for proposals from design companies will follow in the new year and the plan should be done by January 2020.
