Downtown West ARP Update
Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the Downtown West Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) project. The volunteer hours contributed on behalf of your community throughout the ARP process have been numerous, and we appreciate your commitment throughout this process. Your time spent connecting with The City on this project will continue to inform our work in your neighbourhood.
As our city continues to grow and change, we are constantly working proactively to ensure that we are responding appropriately to the changes within our communities. Having said this, there are a number of projects being completed by The City of Calgary and external parties that may impact the Downtown West neighbourhood. These include such projects as CalgaryNEXT, Downtown Parking Strategy and Road Network Alignment.
These projects have significant bearing on the future of Downtown West and it could be potentially short sighted to complete the ARP without these impacts factored into the statutory document that will support growth and change in the neighbourhood. In the meantime, The City will be focusing on the results of these projects before continuing work on the Downtown West ARP.
We appreciate the open and honest feedback that has been provided to date, and will ensure that we continue to engage and communicate with the Downtown West community.
If you have any questions about the project or timelines, please visit calgary.ca/downtownwestarp or email project manager Julie.McGuire@calgary.ca.
