Calgary’s Pathway and Bikeway Network (5A) Program

We are continuing to build a pathway and bikeway network for people walking, wheeling, and cycling to provide year-round healthy and affordable travel options to Calgarians of all ages and abilities, including our 5As of design - always available for all ages & abilities.

What are we building?

We have several projects that are under construction or planned for construction in the near future. Please check here for current projects, plus you can check on any pathway closures or detours

Safer Crossings

Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) enhance pedestrian crossing safety by alerting drivers with flashing lights when a pedestrian is ready to cross. These lights, similar to emergency flashers on police vehicles, continue to flash as pedestrians walk through the crosswalk, ensuring drivers remain aware throughout the entire crossing.

Check out what we are building on the project page.

What are we planning?

We have several projects in the planning stage. We are working with communities, groups and organizations who will be impacted by new or updated pathway and bikeway projects, to develop and confirm new designs and upgrades.

What is 5A?

We design our pathway and bikeway network guided by five principles: Always Available for All Ages & Abilities. These principles are the result of consulting with Calgarians and outlined in our  5A Network Guiding Principles Report.

These 5As are applied to our planning and design by;

  • Separating people by their speed
  • Making it more easy to use
  • Being accessible for everyone
  • Making it reliable
  • Improving visibility
