The City of Calgary plans to expand parking at Pearce Estate Park to help accommodate the busy summer months. This expansion is a recommendation in the Harvie Passage Facility Enhancement Plan, and aims to increase parking and overall safety, reduce traffic congestion, and minime the impact on local residents.

From June 25 - July 3, 2025, filming activity will be taking place in Inglewood, Renfrew, Bridgeland, St. Patricks Island and the East Village, and various other Calgary locations.

The production company has worked with The City of Calgary to obtain necessary permits and will aim to minimize disruption to residents and visitors as much as possible.

Construction on the east sides of Blackfoot Trail and 9th Avenue SE has now been completed marking the official halfway mark on the bridge rehabilitation project. Work has now shifted to the west sides of both roadways bringing the project closer to completion.

Work is slated to pause for the duration of the Calgary Stampede to keep Calgarians and visitors moving smoothly and safely through the community during this busy time.

From June 10 - 20, 2025, filming activity will be taking place in Inglewood, around the East Village, and at other Calgary locations.

Good news for Calgary: both lanes of the 4 Avenue Flyover are now open during peak hours, ahead of schedule!

Since April, the bridge had been reduced to a single lane of traffic in order to accommodate essential upgrades, extending the life of Calgary’s longest bridge for decades to come.

The 2025 Servus Calgary Marathon is taking place over the weekend of May 24th + 25th. Now in its 61st year, the Calgary Marathon is Canada’s longest running marathon and Alberta’s Best Road Race.

In order to ensure both runner and road user safety, there will be a variety of road closures throughout Calgary. You can view their interactive road closure map to learn more and pre-plan your day.

With the warmer weather comes another busy construction season for The City and the final construction season for the 4th Avenue Flyover. The bridge rehabilitation is still on track (and on budget) to be completed later this fall. 

Crews recently completed another milestone, replacing the right barrier, leaving only a couple of major works left to complete on the bridge: paving and installing the sign structures.   

Big changes are underway at the Calgary Zoo!

Exploration Asia is undergoing exciting renovations to create larger, more dynamic habitats and inspire even stronger connections between people and wildlife.

As part of this work, the seasonal West Gate, typically open from spring through fall, will remain closed this year. It is expected to reopen later in the 2028/2029 season.

Community Cleanup events provide an opportunity for Calgarians to dispose of items that do not fit in their waste and recycling carts. They also support community residents who do not have access to cart service.

All events take place on Saturdays or Sundays (from 9am to 2pm)

Beginning in mid-April, a series of borehole tests will take place to analyze ground conditions along the Green Line alignment. Work will occur on City-owned property and no significant impacts are expected on roadways. Each test will take one to two days. If more direct impacts are expected to residents or businesses, the Green Line team will coordinate directly with those affected.

Phase Two of the Inglewood Sanitary Trunk (IST) project is underway, with an anticipated completion date of July 2025.

As part of this project a concrete shaft was built above the normal ground elevation that will need to be leveled with the surrounding greenspace. Due to this, the top two metres of this shaft will need to be demolished to bring it below normal ground elevation so we can eventually plant grass and restore its original look. Once this has been completed, there will be manholes and a curved pipe/vent called a “gooseneck,” along with paving stones in the area so crews have access for required maintenance.

Early works for the 6 Street SE Underpass are expected to start Monday, March 31, 2025. The project will see a new vehicle link with the construction of an underpass for traffic under rail infrastructure, adding another access point to Calgary’s entertainment district as we prepared for some major developments in the area.

There are several ongoing infrastructure projects happening in Inglewood and Ramsay. Below is an at-a-glance look at the current status of each project. To learn more and stay up to date on anticipated timelines, please visit: engage.calgary.ca/inglewoodramsay, or sign up for construction alerts through the Ramsay-Inglewood infrastructure Projects newsletter.

Beginning March 17 through to early April, the Green Line is undertaking a series of borehole tests, identifying utility locations along the future LRT alignment. The objective of this project is to determine whether existing utilities (owned by ATCO, ENMAX, The City of Calgary, Bell, TELUS and Shaw/Rogers) along the Green Line route need to be relocated or can be protected in place.

Test sites are limited to City-owned property but may impact general traffic in the area. There are approximately 200 locations across the SE Segment of the Green Line LRT, on City-owned land. Each investigation is expected to take one day with work happening between 9:00am and 3:30pm. Where there are potential impacts to residences or businesses, the Green Line team will contact those who may be directly affected.  

Hey, Inglewood + Ramsay - sign up for the Ramsay/Inglewood Public Realm Improvements Newsletter to keep up to date with construction impacts in the area, expected to begin mid-April.

Public Realm Improvements along 11th Street SE and 12th Street SE have been identified as the first Stage of construction in Ramsay and Inglewood for the City’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) program. This work will improve future connections to transit and nearby public spaces, while supporting multi-model transportation and investing in better public spaces.

The 4th Avenue Flyover is well on its way to being completed later this year, with construction moving forward steadily and crews working hard to keep the project on track.

Here’s a quick look at what’s coming up next: 

The City of Calgary Transit Service Planning Group is working to better optimize bus routes and bus stop locations along the 9th Ave SE corridor from 8 Street to 15 Street SE.

Beginning in early March 2025, a total of 6 stops along the corridor will be removed, resulting in more reliable service at key hubs.

Due to changes in land use by the property owner, the parking lot immediately adjacent to the Inglewood Aquatic Centre has been permanently closed

Following the City of Calgary’s decision in November 2024 to extend the life of the aquatic facility, discussions took place with the parking lot’s landowner. However, an agreement for the use of the parking lot was not renewed due to the landowner's future development plans.

Join in one of Inglewood's longest-standing traditions, the Winter Carnival. Started in 1939, the Winter Carnival has been warming hearts and bringing smiles to faces for 86 years! This year honours some old traditions, like wagon rides and bingo, while also celebrating some new elements like Community Olympics, a group art project, and a tea party for our Inglewood Elders.

The 4th Avenue Flyover will need to fully close temporarily to complete repairs sustained by a vehicular incident. A section of the bridge’s barriers and rails sustained damage in the incident and require repairs, however the bridge is still safe to use.  

The bridge will fully close overnight for two days: 

• February 13th beginning at 9 pm until February 14th at 5 am, and 

• February 14th beginning at 9 pm, until February 15th at 5 am. 

Phase Two of the Inglewood Sanitary Trunk (IST) project is underway, with an anticipated completion date of July 2025.

In order to successfully complete this project, crews will have to close the righthand (south lane) of Memorial Drive eastbound between the Bridgeland C-train station and Baines Bridge (Zoo bridge). Traffic will be detoured to the centre and lefthand lane (north lane) for the duration of this work. It is anticipated that this work will take approximately six months to complete.

Once this has been completed, there will be manholes and a curved pipe/vent called a “gooseneck,” along with paving stones in the area so crews have access for required maintenance.

From our families to yours, with love and fellowship, we wish you peace, respite, rejuvenation, and all the best in 2025.

In lieu of mailing traditional holiday cards, we’ve opted to donate to several notable local charities. This season, our focus is on supporting four organizations doing deeply meaningful and important work to care for our 2SLGBTQIA+ neighbours.

Happy Holidays!

Over the weekend and into next week, JB Paramount Productions and Partners Film Inc will be in Inglewood filming. Residetns and visitors can expect temproary road closures, traffic control, some parking restrictions due to film crew activity in the area. The production company has worked with The City of Calgary to obtain necessary permits and will minimize disruption as much as possible while filming.

Please see info below regarding temporary restrictions and what to expect.

In late November, the Green Line team hosted three information sessions along the southeast portion of the alignment.  We shared the current 60% design for stations between Ramsay/Inglewood and Shepard, as well as plans for bridges and guideways.

At this level of design, key elements have been established and can show Calgarians how these features will integrate within their communities.

Bridgeland Elves are back again this season, spreading holiday cheer to neighbours that could use a helping hand.

Sign up today to help support this wonderful initiative. There are multiple ways and a variety of cost and time commitments available - from volunteering your time or baking skills, to making a stocking for a senior or sponsoring a family.

During last week’s mid-cycle budget adjustments, Council voted to reconsider a prior motion to close the Inglewood Aquatic Centre later in December 2024 and to reinstate funding that will extend the operational life of the pool.

Our gratitude goes out to the passionate community members who rallied to advocate for this outcome. While this decision is a temporary stopgap to the eventual end-of-life closure of the pool, we are committed to continuing to enjoy this facility while we have it, and keeping it operational for as long as funding allocated for repairs allows or until the expansion of the MNP Sports Centre expansion is complete, anticipated in 2027.

The City of Calgary will be onsite to repair the water main on 11 St SE between 20 Ave SE and the CPKC railway tracks. Work is anticipated to begin on November 25, and is expected to be completed by December 13. This may vary depending on the condition of soil, existing utilities, and weather. We will proactively communicate any construction updates to those impacted by this work.

As GreenLine design work resumes between 4 Street SE and Shepard, the project team will be hosting several community information sessions in late November to share the most recent designs plans for the southeast stations. This is an opportunity for Calgarians to ask questions, learn more, and get an updated look at the project’s progress.
