South Shaganappi StudyPhase 3B: Preferred Concept Finalization
Goals• Review and recommend
infrastructure that aligns the future corridor plans for Shaganappi Trail with the 2009 Calgary Transportation Plan, the Municipal Development Plan, and adjacent land uses
• Identify what land will no longer be required for infrastructure
Objectives• Address safety for those who use and/or live by the corridor
• Address accessibility across and throughout the corridor, reconnecting the adjacent communities of Montgomery and Parkdale/ Point McKay
• Accommodate all modes of transportation including walking, cycling, driving, HOV (high-occupancy vehicles), and transit
• Move people and goods in an efficient way, providing continuous traffic flow and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
• Preserve and enhance land in the study area where there are opportunities

Estimated Costs and Timeline
The estimated cost range to implement the short-term plan is $2-5 million in 2017 dollars. If approved by Council and allocated funding, the plan could be implemented within five years.
The estimated cost range to implement the long-term plan is $90-110 million in 2017 dollars. Currently, the existing infrastructure has a lifespan of 30 years, so we anticipate this plan being implemented beyond 30 years.
The cost estimate includes all the recommendations in the plan, such as infrastructure, connections for people who walk and bike, utility relocations and land acquisition.
Estimated Timeline: 5 yearsEstimated Cost: $2-5 million

Funding Process
Identifies the role of the road in the transportation network, where it will go, and how it will move people, goods and services.
Based on the road’s role, roadway planning determines how much room is needed for the road, what upgrades are required, construction staging, and how to accommodate various modes of travel. An estimate is produced and the recommendations become projects that are prioritized for funding.
Projects are prioritized based on key directional documents, like Investing in Mobility that help plan for the growth of Calgary, and the results from citizen engagement activities like the Action Plan. A budget is allocated to projects that are identified as priorities.
Details like utility placements, curbs, sidewalks, and boulevards are refined and finalized. Work begins and the project is managed for cost, schedule and quality.

What does the Final Short-term Recommended Plan achieve?
calgary.ca/southshaganappi | contact 311
South Shaganappi StudyPhase 3B: Preferred Concept Finalization
Benefits that address what we heard from Calgarians:
Improves safety for people who drive through the study area by addressing high traffic collision areas
Improves safety for people who walk and bike through the study area by providing additional pathway space, slowing traffic, and reducing crossing distances
Improves safety for Montgomery residents by slowing traffic entering and moving through the community
Improves traffic flow along Bowness Road/Parkdale Boulevard
Improves transit movements through the study area by providing bus queue jump lane
Provides opportunity to repurpose areas of land, add gateway features, and make land enhancements in the study area
Trade-offs:
New signals may create delays for traffic moving from northbound Bowness Road to westbound 16 Avenue at peak times
Construction of a new ramp will impact trees in the area
New signals may encourage people who drive to take 44, 45, and/or 46 Street

Evaluation Criteria
Each of the preliminary concepts were evaluated by the technical team using the multiple accounts to the right.
The criteria also includes public evaluations that were conducted in November 2016.
The results of the evaluation informed the preferred concept selection.
SafetyAddress safety for those who use and/or live by
the corridor.
Access and ConnectivityAddress accessibility across and
throughout the corridor,connecting adjacent
communities.
Multi-Modal Transportation
Accommodate all modes oftransportation including walking,
cycling, HOV (high occupancy vehicles), and transit.
Efficient Traffic FlowMove people and goods in an efficient way, providing
continuous traffic flow and a reduction in
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Land EnhancementPreserve and enhance land within the study area where
there are opportunities.
Public InputA plan that reflects the
values and priorities of the community.
Financial FeasibilityAffordable and cost-effective.
Costs are achievable, sustainable in the
long term and provide good value for money.

ARE BEING ADDED TO THIS MAP
Benefits that address what we heard from Calgarians:
Facilitates safer traffic movements along 16 Avenue by adding merge ramps to provide access to/from Shaganappi Trail.
Maintains travel times along 16 Avenue by providing continuous traffic flow.
Enhances connectivity with cycle tracks on Bowness Road and new pathways along 16 Avenue and Shaganappi Trail.
Enhances accessibility for people who walk and bike on Bowness Road by providing a continuous connection under 16 Avenue.
Maintains existing transit service on Bowness Road.
Encourages people who drive to use 16 Avenue given the additional travel time required to access Bowness Road.
Provides opportunity to re-purpose land not being utilized by infrastructure for other uses (to be reviewed in a future study).
Trade-offs:
Removes direct access from 16 Avenue to Bowness Road.
May result in increased traffic on 43 Street from people who drive attempting to access Bowness Road from 16 Avenue.
Requires intersection crossings for people who walk and bike along the regional pathways on Shaganappi Trail.
Reduces flexibility for future transit service along 16 Avenue.
Possible property impacts to properties along Montgomery View.
Requires four new bridge structures, which are costly to build and maintain.
