17 Ave. & 37 St. SW – Main Street
37 Street SW (Bow Trail-Richmond) and 17 Avenue S.W. (Crowchild Trail-37 Street), underwent the “design” step of the Main Streets program in 2018 and 2019. The City developed a streetscape master plan for both 17 Avenue S.W. and 37 Street S.W. based on citizen and stakeholder feedback, technical analysis, and financial considerations. The plans support the needs identified by the community and provides a vision that guides the detailed design and construction phases. This vision encompasses numerous considerations, including:
Enhanced pedestrian safety and comfort, improved mobility options, including transit and cycling, a design that reflects its identity of the surrounding communities, green, friendly streets through naturalized boulevards, trees, and site furnishings, making 37 Street and 17 Avenue S.W. a destination that will support existing and new local businesses and improved connections to park spaces and amenities.
