Calgary Starts BRT Construction
The city of Calgary, Alberta, recently broke ground for the 17 Avenue S.E. BRT, the first stage of a two-part project to build the line with dedicated, bus-only lanes that will connect the southeast region of the city to its downtown.
The project also will refresh the corridor (International Avenue) with wider sidewalks, landscaping and enhanced crosswalks.
The new line is one of the city’s four major cross-town BRT projects, noted Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi. “We’ve been working with the community to make sure the design complements this vibrant part of our city and creates great spaces for Calgarians to explore everything that International Avenue has to offer.” The city owns and operates Calgary Transit.
