Calgary’s Pathway and Bikeway Projects (5A)
Calgary’s Pathway and Bikeway Projects (5A)
We are building a city where everyone has access to safe, healthy, and affordable travel options, year-round. Our pathway and bikeway network is guided by five principles: Always Available for All Ages & Abilities (5A).
Our network of pathways and bikeways spans the city, improving access to workplaces, schools, parks, and local destinations while enhancing safety and connectivity for all.
We're committed to expanding this network over the next 60 years by filling gaps, adding features, and supporting the daily, essential activities of Calgarians such as walking, cycling, and scootering. With over 4,000 km of pathways and bikeways mapped out for the future of travel in Calgary, these new enhancements and paths will create more vibrant and connected communities.

Questions about pathway projects under construction?
2026 Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) projects
RRFBs help make crosswalks safer for pedestrians. When someone wants to cross, they press a button that turns on bright, flashing lights – similar to emergency vehicle lights – to grab drivers’ attention. The lights keep flashing until the person finishes crossing, so drivers know to stay alert the whole time.
Learn more about planned RRFB locations and installation criteria.
