City Transportation hopes to make Calgary more pedestrian friendly under new Council’s rule

Mayor-elect Naheed Nenshi says he wants quick wins to show change in Calgarians everyday lives and it’s in transportation where he expects quick results.

“This is the busiest portion of the pathway system in Calgary and I think it’s very symbolic of the shifting philosophy and making pedestrians first,” says Malcolm Logan, GM of City of Calgary Transportation. “Regardless of the procurement and the controversies around that, this really sends a message that we are serious about investing in pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.”
