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. The project scope includes upgrading the existing temporary on-street painted bike lanes to protected cycle tracks along the 15 Avenue S corridor and establishing a permanent one-way configuration for all modes of travel. In addition, pedestrian improvements are planned for both 14 Avenue S and 15 Avenue S, which together, will include 4.3km of complete streets roadway upgrades.
