West Elbow Communities Local Area Plan
The West Elbow Communities Local Area Plan (the Plan) is a policy document that guides future growth and change in the communities of Altadore, Bankview, Cliff Bungalow, Elbow Park, Erlton, Garrison Woods, Lower Mount Royal, Mission, Rideau Park, Roxboro, Scarboro, South Calgary, Sunalta, Upper Mount Royal, the portion of North Glenmore Park north of Glenmore Trail SW, and the portion of Richmond east of Crowchild Trail SW.
The Plan was approved by Council in May 2025, after more than two years of engagement with participants including residents, business owners, students, community association and development industry representatives, and a dedicated and diverse working group and heritage working group. Feedback provided throughout the process by participants helped to shape and refine the Plan brought forward to Council.
To ensure growth and change occurs in a coordinated and purposeful manner, the West Elbow Communities Local Area Plan sets out a strategic framework to guide future development as the communities evolve over time.
