This project aims to implement permanent infrastructure improvements along the 14 Avenue S and 15 Avenue S corridors to improve the safety, mobility and efficiency of all travel modes along these two corridors. Each corridor spanning 2.15km through the Beltline communities of West Connaught, Connaught Centre and Victoria Park, which are located immediately south of Calgary's busy central business district.
