From Hair-Raising to Family Friendly: How Calgary Built its Cycle-Track Network

SFU Continuing Studies (City Program)

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY NEXT-GENERATION TRANSPORTATION WEBINAR SERIES 
From Hair-Raising to Family Friendly: How Calgary Built its Cycle-Track Network May 24, 2016 1:00 pm PDT,  2 pm MDT,  3 pm CT, 4 pm EDT
Calgary, Alberta. Not the same ring as Davis, Portland, Vancouver, or Copenhagen when it comes to bicycling infrastructure or culture, yet Calgary put itself on the map with an ambitious implementation of a network of cycle tracks in their downtown core in 2015. It took a dedicated team of city administrators, advocates, business representatives, and city builders to implement this game-changing project and Ryan Martinson was fortunate to lead technical program for the consulting team. In the course of two years, conditions for bicycle travel in the downtown went from hair raising to family-friendly. Now, more trips than ever are being made by bicycle and the city is generating excitement across North America about the possibilities associated with the rapid implementation of bicycle facilities. Ryan will walk us through the challenges and opportunities his team faced throughout this project and the ‘team’ approach to the cycle network study and implementation. By providing lessons learned and special considerations for treatments, he hopes to share the possibilities that other cities have in fulfilling their bicycle-friendly aspirations.
