Stephen Avenue, the pulse of downtown Calgary, is in for a change of pace and at this point, anything is on the table.
A long process, beginning in 2018, will launch a mega-task: giving one of the city's most vibrant streetscapes a facelift that, depending on public feedback, could permanently change how the avenue operates or is as simple as replacing the walkway and canopy boxes.
Graham Gerylo, project manager with urban strategies at the City of Calgary for the Stephen Avenue Master Plan, said there are three main aspects on the city's wishlist with this endeavour to refresh the stretch that has served citizens for more than 20 years since its last upgrade.

Thoughts? What is needed? What can be done?
-Now that Scotiabank has moved that's a big gap in the middle of the core of the street that could be replaced with something interesting.
-It sounds like the bricks on the street are an issue for them economically but I really don't want to replace them with something boring. It will take the 19th century or European cobblestone street character out of it
