MacEwan Slope Stability Project
Project Update - October 2026
Construction was completed in November 2025 and the warranty period will remain in effect until November 2027.
Project background
This project covers the area from 38 to 62 MacEwan Park View N.W. in northwest Calgary, next to residential homes and green spaces. Cracks have developed in the eastbound lane of the roadway due to slope movement in the nearby greenspace. While nearby homes are not affected, the slope movement poses a risk to public safety and important infrastructure, including a TELUS manhole and an ATCO gas line.
The City has monitored this slope since 1999. In 2023, the cracks widened, showing that the slope’s movement was increasing. A risk assessment found the slope stability to be poor, meeting the City’s criteria for remediation of slope. In November 2024, City Council approved $2 million in funding to address the issue and protect the community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any risk to nearby homes?
No. There is no current impact on nearby homes. We will continue to monitor the slope throughout the work.
Will the pathway remain open?
Yes. The pathway will stay open, as the work will take place at least 5 meters away.
Will parking be affected?
Yes. Parking on the eastbound lane of MacEwan Park View N.W. will not be allowed until work is finished, to avoid adding weight to the slope.
