Actually, there is a study happening right now regarding Crowchild between 24th NW and 17th SW. This is a corridor that the Mayor is keen to fix once and for all. There are a couple upcoming open houses on the study so far...

Crowchild Trail Corridor Study
The City of Calgary has hired and is working with ISL Engineering and Land Services and Stantec Consulting to conduct a long-term transportation study for the section of Crowchild Trail from 17 Avenue South to 24 Avenue North. The study provides recommendations for future roadway upgrades accommodating all modes of travel while maintaining connections to adjacent communities and amenities.
Public open houses are being held to provide citizens with the opportunity to learn more about the study and proposed future concepts for Crowchild Trail. The same information will be presented at both sessions.
The open houses will be held on:
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 - 5:00-8:00pm
Olympic Volunteer Centre, University of Calgary, Red and White Club
Free parking available on the east side of the building after 5:00pm
Thursday, November 15, 2012 - 5:00-8:00pm
Marda Loop Communities Association
3130 – 16 Street SW
The long-term Crowchild Trail Corridor Study will:
- Align Crowchild Trail with the Calgary Transportation Plan.
- Consider walking and cycling connections, Calgary Transit routing, community access, and access to the Centre City.
- Accommodate the Primary Transit Network and the Primary High Occupancy Vehicle Network with a feasibility study from Glenmore Trail S.W. to 16 Avenue N.W., connecting the Activity Centres of the University of Calgary/Foothills Medical Centre, Centre City, and Mount Royal University.
- Consider vehicle movement including goods and commuters.
- Consider appropriate street connections to Crowchild Trail as part of the Calgary Transportation Plan.
- Allow The City to more accurately evaluate proposed changes to the corridor in the future.
- Update the 1978 Crowchild Trail Transportation Plan.
Your attendance at this session and feedback regarding the proposed concepts for Crowchild Trail is appreciated. Feedback received will be considered in the final recommendations provided to the City.
