New guidelines aimed at encouraging travel by foot, bike and transit
A new policy approved by council could have more Calgarians ditching their daily drive in favour of greener transportation.
Seen as a way of encouraging Calgarians to travel by transit, bike or by walking, the Complete Streets Policy and Guide is expected to "improve both measurable and perceived safety, provide attractive streetscapes, provide transportation options, improve universal accessibility, promote economic well-being of both businesses and residents, and increase civic space" while reducing the total amount of paved space in the city, said council.
