Update from The City of Calgary:
This summer, City of Calgary Transportation consulted with residents of Hillhurst-Sunnyside regarding pedestrian crossing options for Memorial Dr. The main objective of this consultation was to establish one pedestrian crossing that is safe, and provides appropriate connectivity between the community and the pathway system close to the Peace Bridge. The Transportation department determined that a pedestrian crossing at either 7 St or 8 St N.W. fulfills these criteria.
As part of the engagement exercise, The City sought community input on whether the pedestrian crossing should be left at 7 St or moved to 8 St N.W. The attached documents provide more information on the process, background provided to residents and an in-depth description of feedback. Of the 313 responses, 60% prefer the Memorial Drive pedestrian crossing to remain in place. Therefore, The City will maintain the existing pedestrian crossing at 7 St N.W. A new crossing at 8 St will not be installed.

Note that the deadline is July 18, 2010. The feedback forms were mailed out to all residents in the community. Unfortunately mailboxes with ‘no junk mail’ signs did not receive them. If you did not receive your feedback package you can pick one up at the HSCA or go online to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/pedestriancrossing.

In the last week there was a lot of media coverage about the City installing a new set of traffic lights on Memorial Drive and 8th Street. For the record, the community (including the HSCA Board and Community Planning Committee) have not been consulted on this yet. David White, chair of the Community Planning Committee, and I were contacted by the department in charge of building the bridge. We have clearly expressed that the community is very much interested in working with the City to create and implement a decision that best meets the needs of our community (on this issue and for that matter on any issue that comes up in the future that affects our community). The City has agreed to meet with David and I this month to create a plan on how to best inform the community, in addition to having an opportunity to allow citizens in our community to solicit input on this issue.
